[regarding evidence of geocentric theory, and how Garvan "Observes" and "Tests" "EVERYTHING".]
First read the hypothesis:
Now conduct the observation:
Now analyse your findings:

Yes, but the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so it does not "hasten to the place where it arose."
Well, it does, but sitting on your front porch doesn't prove that. You just see that it disappears at a certain point and then reappears later.
Plus, as the earth tilts about its axis, the location of the sun rising would change minutely every day.
The problem with fundies, is that it is literally impossible to tell a great troll from the real deal.
I'm leaning toward him being the real deal, but you can never know.
Dude, ride in a car.
Look at your feet. They appear stationary.
Look outside a window. Everything else is moving.
Is the world moving around you, or are you moving?
@e13
Both, actually. If you're travelling NS,,, you're going forward at the indicated speed, and sideways at 1000kph (more or less, at the equator)
Sorry,,,, I just couldn't resist it!
Hypothesis: I am a frog.
Observation: I am capable of crouching and then hopping like a frog.
Conclusion: I must be a frog.
btw, I thought Garvan was a Poe?
Yeah. Good job. Now, cut your wrists where the blue veins are. Notice how the blood flowing out is red, therefore, it is not your blood.
Care to explain observations of Jupiter's moons using the Geocentric Theory.
I bet your soul, you can't.
if you think the planets flat.
Thinking Allowed
I love that image, has a celt feel to it, from a distance it jumps out like a sun depiction but is easily read closer.
Observation yields a hypothesis, which is then proven or disproven through repeated, controlled experiments. An observation can't prove a hypothesis.
You fail Scientific Method.
@Quantum Mechanic
No. Get thee to an accelerating reference frame.
At 200g.
(naturally, I'm referring to Garvan, not QM)
except, we've done lots of MORE PRECISE and accurate experiment that show the opposite.
Human observations and understanding is flawed, that is why we have scientific instruments to help us see what's really going on.
Re the Poe controversy...
What sort of responses does he attract? (I'm actually too indifferent to look for myself, sorry.)
Fair play, Garvan is the King of Poes. I just worry that someone who works this hard and this thoroughly may not yet be seeing a psychiatrist.
Still, obsessively parodying fundies is preferable to obsessively torturing and killing people because of their hair colour or the length of their little toe.
A hyothesis can't be true.
The theory can be a theorem , but I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
This guy is not a POE. He lives in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and I have seen him preaching there. He is, however, in serious need of psychiatric intervention.
Poe or not? Not sure,I am inclined to think he is too dedicated fto be a poe. Just sick.
Garvin continues ignoring the many factors that might disagree with his ideas.
He also has the knack of rejecting anything that is logical and reasonable while at the same time latching onto the most stupid and idiotic thinking that it is possible to find.
Garvin is guilty of grossly overestimating his own intelligence and ability.
Not only does Garvin reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but his mental incompetence robs him of the ability to realize it. Instead, Garvin is left with the mistaken impression that he is doing just fine when it is clear to others that he is a liar a fool and all together a very disturbed person.
Hume´s experiment. Where does the beam goes, sky to earth, or earth to sky?. It´s the latter, in case you´re wondering.
Mister Spak said:
Or, preferably, just outside it. Don't worry about bringing a space suit; the magic man in the sky will protect you!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
