Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

wow. Let me put this in a way you simpletons will understand.

Do any of you have satellite T.V? Or do you think that's some magic devil box.

Anyways, I assume some of you have the luxury of fine satellite entertainment. Well you know how a satellite works? It's some mechanism we shoot up in the sky (where ur buddy G.O.D hangs out) that sends a signal down to Earth (where we are right now). But it rotates around the Earth, at least 15,000 miles in the sky, if not there is no logical way that signal could reach the entire country (and no, God is not controlling Direct TV). And yes there are pictures from space of the Earth taken from satellites, once again, at least 15,000 miles in the sky, where there is less gravity. You see here on Earth, there's a reason when you throw a baseball in the air it comes back down, but the sun hasn't crashed down into the Earth yet, it's called gravity.

so for you simpletons, and yes you are simpletons, I can't believe this nonsense some of you are spewing and how racist and illogical you guys are.......
If the sun were 500 miles above the Earth, we wouldn't have cable T.V.

How can I put this let me try it this way. Can you read? Did someone else sign you up for this forum. If you can read try to remember you were supposed to make an introduction of yourself in the introduction forum.
I will send you the link, let's see if you can get it right this time;

Make an Introduction for yourself

Being a visitor you need to know a few things , read them here
Your rights are listed here.

an you should read this too .....Noobs read this.

When you start your Introduction thread let's play a game, It is called, ''This is why I hate Baby Jesus''. Just write down 1 or 2 reasons, we will get the idea.

Typical shine.

Ever hear of more than one satellite?

Do you realize that that God holds the sun at about 500 miles away?

Tell me, how does the suns position have anything to do with cable TV? You do know a key component of cable is well, a cable and they do not attach to satellites.

If you were actually interested in logic, you would know that a personal attack counts as a fallacy. This does not give me, a reasonable and objective person, much confidence in your intelligence.

Do any of you have satellite T.V?

No.

Anyways, I assume some of you have the luxury of fine satellite entertainment.

Then your assumption is false. And so are any conclusions you will base on that false assumption. That's poor reasoning on your part.

But it rotates around the Earth, at least 15,000 miles in the sky, if not there is no logical way that signal could reach the entire country

If it rotates around the earth, then how can it reach the entire country? The earth itself is going to be between the satellite and the country. Thus, your argument actually disproves the spherical-earth model.

but the sun hasn't crashed down into the Earth yet, it's called gravity.

Yes, and similarly, the light bulb hanging from my ceiling hasn't falled onto my head yet. According to your logic, the only explanation is that the light bulb is in geosynchronous orbit

If the sun were 500 miles above the Earth, we wouldn't have cable T.V.

You seem to really watch TV a lot. Maybe that's why you're so verbally abusive and have the mistaken assumption that you're not dumb.

Me and Ted Haggard are best friends and we meet every thursday for a quickie. keep it on the downlow though

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Praise the Lord! He has shown me how to prove scientifically that the sun is no more than 500 miles overhead.

Here is the proof:

To start off with, the sun is hot enough to glow yellow, so we can use Wein's Displacement Law to determine the temperature.

Wein's Displacement Law:
Peak Wavelength in meters = displacement constant / temperature in Kelvin

Yellow light has a wavelength between 570nm and 580nm, so we'll solve for 575nm. Since we are working with nanometers rather than meters, we'll simplify the math by multiplying the displacement constant by 10^9.

575 = 2897768.5/T
575 * T = 2897768.5
T = 2897768.5/575
T = 5039.6° K (8611.6° F)

So the sun is about 5039.6° Kelvin.

Now, the average temperature of the earth is 59° F, or about 288° K. The mean temperature gradient of the troposphere is 6° K/km, so let's solve for the distance.

d = (5039.6 - 288)/6
d = 791.9 km (491.1 miles)

There you have it. The sun is roughly 491.1 miles overhead. Depending on the exact shade of yellow (whether it's closer to 570nm or 580nm), this figure could be off by as much as 5 miles. However, I don't have a spectrometer handy, and I'm willing to live with an uncertainty of ±5 miles. It's not like I'm planning to visit anytime soon -- my shoes would melt .

The LORD is so good to me. Praise the sweet name of Jesus.

the sun is millions of miles away retard just look at your bullshit formula

temperature1-temperature2/6 is not a distance formula
according to that formula if my friend and i are the same temperature then no matter where we are we are always beside each other

It's understandable that you are confused after your closely held beliefs were thoroughly debunked by Christians.

Most atheists come in here thinking they can outsmart Christians. They're in for a surprise. And sometimes.... that surprise involves turning to the Lord

So this is what passes as a public education these days, huh?

My poor boys, when they're done their homeschooling are probably going to be over qualified for any position out there. Maybe I should start teaching them Chinese so they can converse with their intellectual equals.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Oh this is just sad....if it were only 500 miles away, we would all die and gravity would suck everything up, and if it were that cold nothing could be alive, and if this were true, the sun would have to in fact be yellow, which it is not, it is actually a variety of colors ranging the entire spectrum of light waves being that the original color spectrum is based from the sun...So I think it is safe to say that....and now, because I am guessing based on prior observations that arguing common sense with you is only for the chronically bored and insane, I think it is safe to say, that for the third time tonight, Science has now tackled idiocy.

Unless you have been to the sun, you have no idea. Why is it you blindly believe these stupid secular science notions over God? Looks like you will believe ANYTHING written in a book, as long as the book is not the KJV1611 Bible.

Science has tried to explain God away and brainwash people and it is the idiots that fall for their lies! They certainly HAVE tackled the likes of you.

Why didn't you include our atmosphere? Or our magnetic field? If you believe the earth and the sun are at a distance of 500 miles, then what about mercury and venus? How close are they to us? If they are just a few miles away, they would be bigger than our moon! This is laughable, if the sun IS 500 miles away, it would be HUGE. If you don't believe so Why is our star smaller than other stars?

We look at stars (our sun), take pictures of stars (our sun). And we see that it is not 500 miles away.

You obviously have no experience in astrology or physics.

Our science books are based off of evidence, your book is based off of some men in the desert. They thought the earth was flat, they thought heaven was in the clouds. The age of science helps us find the truth, not stupid un-scienctific claims like this post.

How can you tell how far away the sun is by taking a picture? Here is a picture of a man holding the sun. How far is it away from the camera?

Sir,

I take exception to the antisemitic tone of your post. Just because the observations weren't done by "rational" northern Europeans and instead by "desert dwellers" doesn't make those observations invalid. Further more you are clearly using the word "bronze age desert dweller" as code for Jew. I am disgusted by your Eurocentricism.

Nice photo shop, or did you actually travel to the sun. I like how the text is larger than earth. Come on lady you have to do better than that.
