  • If we're going to read posts as long as the Summa, we may as well re/read the summa. Notice, speaking of, that summa,for example;
    1. Is in a specific, rational ORDER
    2. Dealt with ONE point at a time.
    3. Wasn't done on a net forum, which only makes monster postsevsen MORE ridiculous, regardess of the un/sound contents.
    Also, this is no way to do dispjutation.

    In crayon,  "Keep it short and simple"
    What's the point of writing:
    1. what few if any will read?
    2. What, much like navigation, is more conducive to error the greater the distance between established, verified, known points?
    .
    Just for the record.............
    .
    Question:
    .
    Answers (4):
    .
    1) Looks like popcorn ceiling!
    2)Official NASA spokesman Neil Degrasse Tyson says earth is pear shaped...
    3)I prefer flat earth for breakfast
    4) Aquinas must be thrilled
    .
    My reply:

    On the contrary, Aquinas would indubitably be highly unimpressed.

    .

    Again:

    .
    What are sunspots?           
    .
    Difficult question?           
    .
    Hmmm?

    STUDY: Uranus Opens And Closes Daily To Release Solar Wind

    (ROTFL)
    .
    This post of yours, while it was in a location that appeared to be in answer to my question about sunspots, was so entirely off-topic that I didn't bother to include it as a possible answer to the question.
    .
    When I went to the linked page, however, it seemed rather odd, but frankly, I couldn't imagine what you'd be laughing at...........
    .
    Until I read the comments section. Tell me, happenby, do these comments reveal what you found so "humorous?"
    .
    (Following are comments copied from the site linked in happenby's post, above) :

    Quote
     Release earths solar wind?? lol, I think whoever wrote this article was laughing so hard and wrote "earths solar wind". Last I checked Earth and Uranus are two different planets. Within our solar system... ahahahaha, please go back and make sure if you meant the solar wind, uranus expulsion of gasses, or what.... Gawd.... I'm dying.... it hurt's I'm laughing too hard.

    What planet do f@rts come from? Uranus! Oh wow. Don't ya just miss 6th grade sometimes?
     
    Space flatulence on a planetary scale.
     
    You say "yer anus", I say "urine us"... Let's call the whole thing off.
     
    This has to be a joke, right? Right?
     
    Myanus opens and closes daily to attract and accept ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ Russian men!
     
    So does mine.
     
    So do I.
     
    Seriously, nobody thought of this one? What do the Starship Enterprise and toilet paper have in common? They circle Uranus and pick up Klingons.
     
    I referred to it as the solar winds, but my coworkers are pretty sure the sun wouldn't smell like it had Thai food.
     
    Alternative headline:  'Astronomer That Named Uranus Heard Laughing Beyond Grave"
    .
    IOW are you trying to say you just miss 6th grade sometimes, happenby?
    .
    Or, are you trying to explain that you're still in 6th grade?  :jester:

  • Ok, so NASA and modern science come out with garbage regarding the celestial bodies and you accuse me of being in 6th grade. Smh. Rather, draw the proper conclusion: you are being had. And the purveyors of these things are laughing at you.

    Is the question too hard for you? Hmmm?  
    .

    Why do you believe that I am obligated to answer your questions? As I have said, we are not your students. That's what you don't seem to understand. You tend to ask questions that will make others look stupid, and you look superior. That's the height of arrogance.

    And....you haven't answered some of my questions.

  • Round earthers have to explain more than lack of curvature, curved water surface and ships that don't disappear behind the non existent curve.

    You are the one laughing with the comments section that says they miss being in 6th grade. 
    You are the one who doesn't know what sunspots are.
    You are the one who can't answer simple questions...

    Having fun, 6th grader?

  • Please, refresh(?) subj: "Criteriology", esp. those who not only readily dismiss as a rule or habit secular authorities of field, without demonstrating warrant.

    Crayola/fingerpaint version: we aren't entitled to find as incredible that or whomever we like when by Catholic and scholastic principles we must accept, at minimum, reflexively.

    i.e., e.g., just because our grammar teacher publicly professes Satanism, does not of itself make them equivalent to a layman in their field.

    No? s.a., e.g., Avicenna, Averroes, Maimonides, Al Gebr, Aristotle…

    Then again, one supposes that rockets must not fly at all if an ALLEGED (by whom? Subtantiation pls?) Mason used his square for more than grip candy and Ba'al bling.

    Okay, but how to sort out what is truthful, and what is not? By what barometer are we to use?

    I don't know anything about Maimonides or Al Gebr (were they Muslim Scholars like Avicenna and Averroes?), but as you know, St. Thomas Aquinas used the methodology of Aristotle, even though Aristotle was a pagan. Aristotle was a keen observer of natural law.

    Avicenna and Averroes of course were Muslim scholars, and as such they also could have got a few things right, but St. Thomas Aquinas didn't use them at all in his methodology, though he was accused of siding with Averroes, due to Averroes support of Aristotle.

    I think that we pretty much need a saint like Aquinas to sort all of this out properly, regarding the shape of the earth, but otherwise we just have to do the best we can in trying to make sense of how the earth is really shaped.

    1. I BEG God, then you, to read AT LEAST, theapprobation of POPE PIUS of "Christian Philosophy" by de Poissey before we resume. It is the most comprehensive, sound, and APPROVED doc (.^. APPROBATION) on this subject that I know of. It is a FREE download, available via archive.com

    You  can also, via same,  look up "Criteriology" in same. Trad PRIESTS and THEOLOGIANS >>>MUST<<<< study the same subjects REQUISITE to most ANYTHING else, i including non-natural Theology, so i n humility what makes us so special that we can skip it?

    Don't talk to me or any else about this subject till you do.

    That urge to do so anyway is the hackles of YOUR PRIDE.

    Later?

    I agree happenby, but the globe-earthers here don't appear to care about scripture, and how it relates to shape of the earth.

    And yes, a globe earth does indeed lend itself to heresies and malformation of God's laws, but again, the globe-earthers don't want to think about it.
