LONDON Astronomers have spotted an exotic planet that seems to be made of diamond racing around a tiny star in our galactic backyard.

The new planet is far denser than any other known so far and consists largely of carbon. Because it is so dense, scientists calculate the carbon must be crystalline, so a large part of this strange world will effectively be diamond.

"The evolutionary history and amazing density of the planet all suggest it is comprised of carbon -- i.e. a massive diamond orbiting a neutron star every two hours in an orbit so tight it would fit inside our own Sun," said Matthew Bailes of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne.

Farm out!

Farm out!

Don't you mean far out? Methinks you were not around in the sixties.

Far out became farm out.

Groovy became gravy.

Right on became right arm.

L7 became square.

Start chone then police.

It's wasteful to start a new thread when we aren't done with the current one.

Guess I can't argue that.

The earth was the first planet in the universe.

Do you have some evidence of that?

 

[aieyiamfu]

Only according to the Bible.

Is that according to the Bible or according to how people interpret the Bible?

 

[AV1611VET]

Do you have some evidence of that?

No.

And that's why I say creation science is a joke.

There was no evidence generated.

 

[VirOptimus]

No.

And that's why I say creation science is a joke.

There was no evidence generated.

That which is asserted without evidence can be dissmissed without evidence.

And no, the bible changes nothing.

 

[aieyiamfu]

No.

And that's why I say creation science is a joke.

There was no evidence generated.

That is very interesting, but it makes no sense.

 

[AV1611VET]

That is very interesting, but it makes no sense.

Then take My Apple Challenge

 

[HitchSlap]

Can you think of a better source of information?

Yes.

 

[HitchSlap]

No.

And that's why I say creation science is a joke.

There was no evidence generated.

Which allows you to make up any far fetched shtick to stroke your ego?

Can you think of a better source of information?

The National Enquirer, three year olds, people with head injuries, fortune cookies...

 

[AV1611VET]

Which allows you to make up any far fetched shtick to stroke your ego?

Like creatio ex nihilo?

 

[HitchSlap]

Like creatio ex nihilo?

No, I don't like it.

 

[HitchSlap]

The National Enquirer, three year olds, people with head injuries, fortune cookies...

 

[AV1611VET]

The National Enquirer, three year olds, people with head injuries, fortune cookies...

Three year olds should be able to look scientists right in the eyes and tell them evolution is wrong.

Three year olds should be able to look scientists right in the eyes and tell them evolution is wrong.

That some pretty stupid three year olds. I know mine wasn't that incredibly imbecilic. Massively moronic. Vacuously vapid. Etc, etc...

Three year olds should be able to look scientists right in the eyes and tell them evolution is wrong.

Lemmeguess, their parents told them there's a god, too.

Amiright?
