The UN wants a rotating earth to disprove the Bible!!
The Rockefeller owned UN wants a rotating earth because that would disprove the Bible and make God a LIAR.... What proof do they offer for their moving earth or heliocentric humbug? Just a 150 year old pendulum experiment called Foucault's pendulum or more rightly called Foucault's Folly!!

@Penny - Poe's Law:
"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
In other words, No matter how bizzare, outrageous, or just plain idiotic a parody of a Fundamentalist may seem, there will always be someone who cannot tell that it is a parody, having seen similar REAL ideas from real religious/political Fundamentalists.
He also subjects the pendulum to anthropomorphizing (by calling it 'lying'), which is a sign of fundyism. I also love how he claims atheists (presumably) want to prove God is a liar, even though we don't believe in Him in the first place.

1 General Relativity
2 Several dozen space probes
But I'm sure you can explained to us how all that was faked.
The living Christ told John that "God" was actually an unauthorized illegitimate excretion from one of the real deity's conceptual children...couldn't bring Adam to life without forfeiting his power.
Yes, yes, if "God" wanted us to stay stupid, he wouldn't have given us the interwebs.
Sometimes I find it remarkable that idiots like that have survived into the 21st century. It's not like we don't have widespread distribution of knowledge over a wide variety of networks the way it was in the 1800s.
"...Just a 150 year old pendulum experiment..."
Wait, so he's implying that the older something is, the less reliable it is?
When was the Bible written, again?
I don't know about Poe, but this could be someone echoing something they know is not true, to fit someone else's agenda. There is no lie so ludicrous that if repeated often enough, with false evidence, that people will not believe it. As for Foucault's Pendulum, it proves we are on a rotating surface, and the pendulum rotates because of the Coriolis effect, the same effect that causes storms to rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Dude, seriously. Pick your battles, man. If a rotating Earth disproves the Bible, then the Bible is completely and totally fucked.
Hehehehe...
Next thing, some loony will claim the Earth is a globe!
*sigh*
What about the Coriolis effect, gyroscopic precession and similar such observed phenomena - god slipped those in to fool us?
I hope this is Poe.
Also, the current UN couldn't even organize a Girl Scout cookie sale, much less a conspiracy.
And this ladies and gentlemen is what happens when you read every word in the Bible as literal, black and white, up and out there, undebatable truth. You go nuts
"If the earth doesn't rotate, what's keeping the DirecTV satellites hovering over your house? Really long poles?"
Satellites will stay in orbit - geocentric or not - irrespective of whether the planet or body they are orbiting rotates.
"The UN has nothing to do and Rockefeller died LONG AGO."
Rockefeller had children, who had children of their own. David Rockefeller is still alive. The Rockefellers are still quite wealthy, powerful and influential. Nicholas Rockefeller is a member of the council of foreign relations, and has a large charity that joined with the charity of Bill Gates.
Oh let's see. Just a few off the top of my head...
- The Coriolis Effect / Jet streams / Hurricanes vs Cyclones.
@#266971: Satellites will stay in orbit - geocentric or not - irrespective of whether the planet or body they are orbiting rotates.
Sure, but they actually have to orbit - they can't just stop and hover. If the earth weren't rotating, how would your house stay under the orbiting satellite?
Well, maybe not ANYTHING containing the word "Freemason." My grandfather was a Freemason, his father before him, and so on back for I'm not sure how many generations. I'm sure my family would be a great deal less unknown if the Freemasons controlled the world. Besides, they're too busy erecting all those absolutely hilarious "Share the Secret" billboards around here to actually rule anything at the moment.
Lol yes, all the world's governments (who can't seem to agree on simple things like...war...poverty...McDonalds prices..), got together as a conspiracy to promote the fact (read: conspiracy) that the earth rotates. Yeah. Sure. You keep thinking that.
It's not just that Foucault's pendulum precesses through 360 degrees per day, it could do that if the Earth were a flat, rotating disc. It's that it does so clockwise in the Northern hemisphere, anti-clockwise in the Southern.
For the same forces to be at work in both, the Earth can't be flat, and no bible-loving looney in 150 years has ever shown otherwise. That's why we still refer to it today.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
