Black holes are a sacred cow of atheistic science.

Again.
Atheism doesn't need black holes or the Big Bang or evolution.
Not believing in your stupid myth is just that. It's ridiculous, it's contradictory, it's stupid. Not a need for anything to replace it either, the "you have to believe in something" simply isn't true because you mean a God or the Supernatural when you say that.
Atheist don't need the sciences and non-Christians don't need a substitute religion to not believe the Bible. There is just not any reason to believe it.
Why? Can't God make a black hole? I thought He was supposed to be omnipotent. Of course, then again, He needed Noah just to make a simple boat, so I guess maybe not.
So what, instead of just denying that evolutionary and relativity theories are valid science, he's now denying that black holes exist? If a scientist told him that breathing oxygen was necessary for life he'd try denying that too.
Black holes are a sacred cow of atheistic science.
Why?
In what way do black holes, i.e. super overly massive stars, contradict the Bible?
One assumes this guy just couldn't bear not to make some kind of counterstatement to humanity having just made the historic observation of two black holes smashing into each other hard enough to basically send waves through the fabric of space itself.
Truly, the repartee he came up with was a winner. I am swayed, swayed I tell you.
...what Albert Einstein predicted in his Theory of Relativity a century ago must really hurt in the gluteal area of late, eh?
That's the problem with mere theories, Andy Schaftafly: they have a rather nasty habit of becoming facts .
The lensing effect of Black Holes not only proving their existence, but how that effect can improve the ways that astronomers can look further into the universe.
From Conservapedia's "Black Hole" page:
Like electrons, protons, and neutrons, black holes have never been directly observed, but, as in the case of subatomic particles, evidence for their existence is scant at best.
How...cute. Apparently atoms and subatomic particles are a liberal conspiracy now. I wonder how Schlafly thinks the Great Satanic Conspiracy faked Fat Man and Little Boy, the Castle Bravo test, or modern nuclear reactors? Claymation, maybe?
Unless someone is taking a REALLY deep-cover piss on the site, in which case, PLEASE stop, because Schlafly doesn't need the help--he already comes across as too stupid to live anyway.
If black holes turned out not to exist, or not to exist in the way we have previously thought about them, it might rouse some curiosity among astrophysicists, but it's not something that would warrant more than a passing mention to any other kind of science.

...and yet, Romulans can build awesome ships powered by artificial black holes:

Such as this Valdore -class Warbird. And in infinitely less time than a century.
Just suppose we could do the same:

You could be it's test pilot. Liberate tutame ex inferis, Andy Schaftafly. >:D
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
