Pay no attention to Hubble's law, the Book of Mormon is all the truth anyone needs.

Also zerinus, be careful no to expose yourself to any detailed information about the cosmic microwave background, Einstein's cosmological constant (Λ), the second law of thermodynamics, dark energy, dark matter, or black holes...

On second thought - never mind.

The chances that you would admit to, let alone understand, the consequences of Hubble's Law or any of the rest of the information mentioned when it comes to the science of cosmology are vanishingly small.

I suppose an apologist or die hard believer could retort that the background microwave radiation is the Holy Ghost, or light of Christ filling the immensity of space..... :rolleyes:

There is no true science that falsifies Mormonism or the Book of Mormon. Certain scientific theories might appear to. But scientific theories are not the same as scientific facts. Evolution and Big Bang are scientific theories, not fact.

That's right. Ignore the truth while you engage the crap out of the ignoramus Mormon. It's all about you guys. Your preening dominance. The sheen of your above average intellects. Kissing continually the back of your own hands.

How convenient for you! You get to decide what are facts, and then mislabel what a theory means in order to save the butt hurt your religion takes from reality. :rolleyes:

It is a scientific fact that the universe is expanding.

No SIR! The "dude" who found the "red shift" could have been color blind, so NYAH! :biggrin: (I'm just helping Zerinus out here a little bit) If he had half the IQ of Don Trump he would immediately retort with this link like I just found in order to refute me trying to help him......https://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/universe.html

And he could always fall back on the very powerful logic of saying all those photos taken from telescopes are not actual either, that are posted on that site, but just some artist theory of what space might look like. :rolleyes:

True. How does that falsify Mormonism, the Book of Mormon, or, for that matter, Christianity or the Bible?

It is a fact that the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 have been proven totally false through the science of Egyptology. Every single Explanation of Facsimile No. 3 in Mormon scripture is completely wrong and science has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Joseph Smith was a fraud.

I am 100% sure this is the case. I would stake my life and so-called "eternal salvation" that is is absolutely so.

You, zerinus, like Joseph Smith, are a liar. I rebuke you in the name of science and Egyptology.

zerinus,

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a fact. It's 160 - 200 GHz electromagnetic field warms you every time you go outdoors, and most probably gets to you most places indoors as well.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is not a theory - it's, well you know - a Law.

Black holes are facts. We have a big one that helps our galaxy operate in an orderly fashion.

Before you make another asinine comment regarding something of which you are completely ignorant, do some reading in appropriate books - something besides a 19th century collection of tall tales.
