I’m just realizing this. Viruses are supposedly too small to be seen with a light microscope, it requires an electron microscope. So it’s all CGI, just like the “planets“ and “distant galaxies“

…What is this I don’t even!?
No, seriously, how does one possibly get from A to B here?
“D’oh! Really small things don’t exist! Even if a microscope of a more advanced variety can actually show it!”
So is ACTUAL TECHNOLOGY WITH ELECTRICITY AND STUFF A HOAX, NOW?
Well!…image
Wait, so when the Enterprise travels through the galaxy at warp speed, all those stars we see zipping past the window aren’t real? They’re only CGI? Hmm, ok, then what do the stars really look like when the Enterprise passes them at warp speed?
Right, every piece of scientific equipment ever built is actually a concerted effort to show you cartoons. And they’re so insidiously designed that they automatically generate the appropriate image based on whatever is supposed to be on the slide even if you secretly substitute whatever the person looking through the scope is expecting to see.
And everyone in the world is in on the plot for no other reason than it’s funny to play such elaborate, expensive pranks on people who aren’t going to believe in science either way even when they die from illnesses they refuse to believe exist and instead think is just a similar scheme by the rest of the world to mess with their heads.
Strange, when I go out in the backyard and look through my low-power telescope, I can see Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. I guess my telescope must be somehow hooked up to CGI generators so I only see what THEY want me to see? They’re very good, because I can actually see them moving as the earth turns (or the sky turns if you’re a flat-earth believer).

Apparently our eyes are hooked up to those too, because you can see all those planets with the naked eye easily. (Oh and Mercury too)
Oh, even better, if you have a dark enough sky you can see some of those “distant galaxies” with the naked eye, too. I was living in the suburbs when I was really into amateur astronomy, so I couldn’t quite manage it, but I was able to find Andromeda with a pair of binoculars, anyway.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
