I was just curious - where are all the YECs?

[LifeToTheFullest!]

You need to get out more; Pluto is no longer our 9th planet.

It's not?!? When did this happen?

Is Pluto still there?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Yes

 

[Naraoia]

There are two more dwarf planets in our solar system: Ceres and something-else.

Note: Make that 11 planets, not 12 -- my mistake.

Hmm, what would be the something else? I looked up dwarf planets on their NASA site and Wikipedia, and Ceres seems to be the only currently recognised dwarf planet inside Pluto's orbit. That would make Pluto #10.

Are you thinking of Vesta?

Not that it makes a meaningful difference, of course

 

[AV1611VET]

Eris

You might want to go back and read what you said to me:
I'm actually agreeing with you --

so you have no problem with Pluto and the current definitions of planet and dwarf planet?

 

[LifeToTheFullest!]

so you have no problem with Pluto and the current definitions of planet and dwarf planet?

Nah. It's the fact that as our understanding of science increases, things change. Creaionists have a problem generally with things changing.

 

[AV1611VET]

so you have no problem with Pluto and the current definitions of planet and dwarf planet?

No comment.

 

[USincognito]

Well, I see that little has changed in six years.

PAR-TAY

You mean apart from AV bumping a 6 year old thread that hadn't seen a reply for 2 years before he joined up and directly responding to an OPer who hasn't had any activity in 5 1/2 years.

Well, apart from that

I meant there generally being a lack of creationists here, much less creationists who can mount any kind of defense of their position.

 

[Naraoia]

Eris

But Eris is way out beyond Pluto's orbit most of the time, so that would make it #11, not Pluto.

I called Pluto #11, since it wasn't categorized as a dwarf planet until 2006.

But for the record, you're right.

I think our planets go: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris.

Is that correct?

Well, nothing was categorised as a dwarf planet until 2006, because 2006 was when they invented the category

But for the record, you're right.

Aham. It's nice to be agreeing with you for a change

Okie-doke.

You're in charge of coming up with a mnemonic phrase for these guys then --

 

[Naraoia]

Okie-doke.

I'm the wrong person to ask... I usually just remember them

My! Verily, Every Minute Cabal Just Stuns Us, Neatly Pwning Evolutionists

I had to rep this!

 

[Cabal]

I had to rep this!

it's enough to make me wish pluto was a planet again

 

[Targ]

And sometimes Pluto is number 9, not 10.

 

[AV1611VET]

And sometimes Pluto is number 9, not 10.

Correct --

 

[Cabal]

Eh, the mnemonic's still good till the 23rd century
