And what's your obsession? evolution?Your posts show you have an obsession with Pluto being demoted, plain and simple.
And what's your obsession? evolution?
Yes. It's never been well-defined until the IAU defined it.It wasn't "ill-defined" in 1930, was it?
But Pluto’s characteristics were not changed. Just what it is called. Pluto the celestial body is entirely unaffected by it’s category change.Because Pluto is the best example I can think of, whose characteristics were universally accepted for 76 years, then changed.
It it was considered a planet. That is and always will be a fact.And one of those characteristics was the "fact" that Pluto was considered our ninth planet.
You're right, it wasn't ill-defined. It wasn't defined at all in 1930.It wasn't "ill-defined" in 1930, was it?
Should have thought about those saints before they unsainted them. Considering you claim to have divine guidance there's no excuse. Unless you don't really have divine guidance.They should have thought about that in 1930, before they put Tombaugh's Folly up in lights.
Just asking:But Pluto’s characteristics were not changed. Just what it is called. Pluto the celestial body is entirely unaffected by it’s category change.
I really cannot see why you think this is important.
Now you know one of the reasons that I'm an Independent Fundamental Baptist.Should have thought about those saints before they unsainted them. Considering you claim to have divine guidance there's no excuse. Unless you don't really have divine guidance.
Well now, either you're a Christian or you're not. According to the fine folks to created this forum you're not supposed to be telling others they're not. So excuse me if I don't much care what flavor of Christian you are. God is god. Either he is or he isn't. Either he guides you folks or he doesn't.Now you know one of the reasons that I'm an Independent Fundamental Baptist.
People can "unsaint" each other until the Rapture.
It means nothing to me.
We consider some people to be mission fields; and God calls us into those fields accordingly.About those saints.
Unsure. How many were in the World Trade Center?We consider some people to be mission fields; and God calls us into those fields accordingly.
So please don't tell me "I don't care for those folks."
How many missionaries in the past have lost their lives at the hands of religious people?
Quite a few.How many missionaries in the past have lost their lives at the hands of religious people?
No idea what that means. Can you elaborare?Just asking:
Did the IAU get a kick-back from McGraw-Hill?
Sure.No idea what that means. Can you elaborare?
Sure.
In August of 2006, the International Astronomical Union downgraded Pluto to the status of dwarf planet.
This will, no doubt, result in science books everywhere having to be changed to reflect this.
I'm asking if the science book publishers worked in conjunction with the IAU to do this.
Say, for every 275.00 science book that sells in the college bookstore, the IAU gets 5.00 or something?
Looks like it's less IQ per se, but more a question of education, which involves training in analytical thinking, something conspiracy theorists tend to be deficient in. I liked the paper referenced by the second article, on 'pseudo-profound BS':This thread raises questions which have been researched by psychologists for decades.
Why more highly educated people are less into conspiracy theories
