The first movie I remember seeing in theaters was the Special Edition of A New Hope.
I loved Episodes I & II as a kid, but by the time Episode III rolled around I had developed enough appreciation for good screenwriting that I left the theater mildly disappointed.
Does this seem like authentic human behavior to anyone?
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.
Insulting someone via stereotype doesn’t show that they’re wrong. You’ve added less to the discussion than the person you’re attempting to mock.
No, a conspiracy is when people get together and conspire, i.e. they develop a secret plan of action for nefarious purposes. In the strictest sense, the term “conspiracy theory” just means that you’re theorizing that some people have secretly planned to do something. If you theorize that some wrongdoers have developed or enacted a secret plan, and it later turns out your suspicion was correct, then by definition you had a true conspiracy theory.
The ones who think either fossils are a test of your faith by god or dinos roamed the earth with humans.
FWIW, the vast majority of YECs fall into the latter category because, while the timeline of dinosaurs is explicitly contradicted by their interpretation of the Bible, the existence of dinosaurs isn't. Remember the guy who had that famous debate with Bill Nye? The venue for that debate was a "Creation Museum" featuring life-size animatronic dinosaurs living with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. It's the same organization that spent ~$100 million to build a 500-foot-long replica of Noah's Ark in Kentucky, featuring dinosaurs in pens aboard the Ark ("Don't worry guys, Noah probably took baby sauropods so there's plenty of room for them on board").
Creationist organizations lean hard into dinosaurs as an outreach tool because everybody agrees they're awesome. They'd probably wax poetic about how amazing these creatures of God's creation were, lament that the dinos we're seeing in AR are a pale imitation of the dinos our Biblical ancestors saw in real life, and then condescendingly rant about how "secular science" is trying to drive a wedge between mankind and Biblical truth with its assumptions about "millions of years."
Nah, in two of the three Gospels that contain the story, the storm only calms after Jesus gets in the boat. One of them adds a bit where Peter walks out into the storm to meet him. In the third, the boat is just… instantly at its destination once Jesus boards, with no mention of the storm calming.
You might be confusing the separate instance of Jesus sleeping in a boat during a storm and commanding the waters to be still after the disciples wake him.
Not quite. All two-body systems orbit a common barycenter, but the mass ratio of the Earth-Moon system is so lopsided that the barycenter is inside the Earth, not between them like with Pluto and Charon.
No, because absolute size is not what makes a moon a moon. Our Moon is a moon because it directly orbits a planet, not a star. Charon is massive enough relative to Pluto that the former does not directly orbit the latter, but instead they both orbit a common barycenter located between them, making them a binary planetary system.
Did he specify one Earth year though? ‘Cause Mercury completes a trip around the Sun in less than three months. If we include exoplanets we could get it down to less than a day.
Apes are monkeys, in the same sense that humans are apes.
