No matter how hard you try, you just can’t make up crap like this. No wonder we are often considered the intellectual laughing stock of the world.
Conservapedia founder and Eagle Forum University instructor Andy Schlafly — Phyllis Schlafly’s son — has found one more liberal plot: the theory of relativity.
[...]
Why does Andy Schlafly hate the theory of relativity? We’re pretty sure it’s because he’s decided it doesn’t square with the Bible. In the entry, “Counterexamples to Relativity,” the authors (including Schlafly) write:The theory of relativity is a mathematical system that allows no exceptions. It is heavily promoted by liberals who like its encouragement of relativism and its tendency to mislead people in how they view the world.
To what does that reference lead? Why, a note by Schlafly:
See, e.g., historian Paul Johnson’s book about the 20th century, and the article written by liberal law professor Laurence Tribe as allegedly assisted by Barack Obama. Virtually no one who is taught and believes relativity continues to read the Bible, a book that outsells New York Times bestsellers by a hundred-fold
In other words, reading a theory about physics is correlated to a decrease in people’s interest in reading the Bible, which means that it causes people to stop reading the Bible.
iT HAS ALWAYS ASTONISHED ME THAT In the early 1900′s up into the 60′s..MOST of the poor groups worked together..
Then after TONS of propaganda…Things went WEIRD.
MOST of the poor Helped and worked together against injustice and politics, and Workers rights..
So let me get this straight.
If I study Physics, and don’t read the bible then I’m a Liberal. That doesn’t necessarily hold.
L = P – b
And…
b = L – P or b = P – L
Therefore
P = b – L
No, hang on… I’ve confused myself. Where’s my bible/physics/liberal propaganda book.
So does that mean there are no Liberal bible readers?
Hey rob..
want to give them ALL a headache??
The bible is the Basis and format given to BOTH communism and socialism..
-This is all kinda funny since Einstein was big on god and religion.. (though his (idea of) “religion” was not the putrefied version(s) that the majority of the planet has bought into.)
Nonetheless: In this article’s case, I believe one of my Father’s favorite sayings / observations is warranted: “One finger pointing forward, has three fingers pointing back”

So the right wingers now dislike relativity because it goes against Jewish folk stories – I suppose thats an improvement !
On a tangential note, the reason why Keynes called his Magnum Opus the “General theory of …” was because he fancied himself to be the social sciences version of Einstein. Ha! At best, his theory is a special case of extreme market failure, and not the general case. Unfortunately, every government in the western world has since used it as an excuse to spend themselves into near bankruptcy. LOL, I guess it is a liberal plot.
Einstein = Puppet of the church
(for controlling the minds of scientists as All of our worldviews are upside down)
If you teach people that the speed of light is limited you prevent any further study on the matter.
relativity = chained mind of science
just because we haven’t found more information doesn’t mean its not there.

Hmmm… I don’t know.
Jesus was probably born knowing that the father would some day come to him so he could have told an angel to cure the boy at any time prior to the event, not mentioning it until the boy’s father brought it up. The story only relates that Jesus apparently knew the boy would live. It doesn’t say how he knew. Furthermore, the distances involved along with the lack of precise recordings of the timing of the events involved leaves the assertion of an instantaneous cure woefully unsupported.
And since this is supposed to be a case that disproves relativity, it kind of begs the question of whether or not the idea of an “instantaneous” cure is really meaningful given that there may be frames of reference in which the request and the cure were simultaneous and others in which they were not.
Uh, okay, next you can disbelieve the theory of gravity. I just don’t want to be around when you try it for yourself…
In other words. run hell bent for leather, screaming, away from all rational thinking. And back to the era of witch trials and inquisitionals, in which innocent people were often tortured to death, for trumped up reasons. All designed to scare the crap out of everyone else. Into obeying whatever despot pretended to be chosen by God to rule. Rational thinking made us give up on all that royalty worship. And create Constitutions and Magna Cartas, declaring common human rights. Regardless of station and wealth.
It wouldn’t surprise me if some of these whack job conservatives would like to see a return to those days of feudal servitude. With them as Dukes and Duchesses, no doubt. That’s all we need now. A 2nd Dark Age.
A long,long, time ago…in 4004 BC, on an October the 23rd afternoon, before even the ‘beginning of time’ god, Jesus’ father had a fierce stomach ache on that fine day. And, for the life of him, he couldn’t figure out the reason. And,then,him being god of course,it finally hit him! Perhaps,he thought, maybe I ate too much of the Forbidden fruit, from my own forbidden tree yesterday, and maybe all that forbidden fruit has upset my tummy! Maybe what I need to go do is squat down behind one of my fabulous godly bushes and take a huge Dump, god thought? So god, the father of jesus and everything else, went and dropped his silken gown on a cloud, squatted behind one of his magnificent heavenly bushes and took the biggest dump in history! In fact he crapped out the entire Universe, Glory be He. And Time began…And all was well again. And god made a note to himself. ”Do not over-eat from thyne own ‘forbidden tree’… or else next time thyne might give thyneself the dreaded ungodly Diarhhea! And to tell you the truth, I really don’t think there’s enough space out in space for too many of these huge Universes.” And so, in a few days, when god created Adam & Eve, created, them right there, right there in the ‘Garden of Eden’ on the ‘Third Rock From the Sun’… god’s glorious light. which he mistakingly, in not a very godlike way, created he, three days after he created the Earth… to devide the night from the day so that Adam & Eve could finally see to find their way around Eden, he gave them a warning! ”Do not eat the fruit from the forbidden tree! If it almost gave me the shits, just think what it might do to you two!” And all was well… for a few days anyway, until Eve ran into the talking snake god had created. The talking snake told Eve not to worry about the fruit from the ‘forbidden tree’. What harm could an Apple do? And you all know the results of that escapade. Death, Pestilence, and that dreaded bloody curse for Eve and all her female children. And after that…. pretty much, the Earth ran itself, until 5879 years later, this little Jewish upstart, Albert Einstein, Dared to question god about his supposed explanation of his Universe. God, you crapped out this Magnificent Universe? Albert asked. Well, Einstein put forth a theory of his own… that god could not have pooped out the Universe… and that His, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity was the true explanation for everything we know and see, and how the Universe works.And god came clean. He explained, first to Einstein, and then to everyone else, escept to Evangelistic Christians, that Einstein was correct! That his story of the great big Dump was mere fluff to fool foolish humans… especially uneducated Christians…. And that Reverend Usher’s explanation could no long be taken as truth, or with any seriousness. Man, god said, had advanced far enough, through EVOLUTION, to finally be told the truth of the Universe. And that ain’t no fairy tale, folks!!!
lets see…
4000 bc..
Einstein about 1879 Birth
“until 5879 years later,”
I dont think he did it that YOUNG, aim for about 1915..35 years later.
Hey! ECA, Einstein was born in 1879, His theory of Relativity was first published in 1905. Get your facts straight. Go ahead…. look it up!
Whoops, My mistake…. Einstein was born in 1875. That’s right, Einstein changed the world when he was 21…
Einstein then published his Theory of ‘General Relativity’, the theory of Gravity in 1915, and it’s been proven experimentaly many, many times.
Never revise what you know is true. Einstein was born in 1879 not 1875! He published his original Theory of Relativity when he was 25… not 21. I must have been to sleepy to be doing that much thinking late last night……….. ;-(
CHRISTIANS………….. Why don’t you all jump off TALL BUILDINGS….. & Test EINSTEIN’S explanation of Gravity!!!!
Hate to rain on this party…
But Galileo already realized that motion is relative and its particular mathematical description depends on the observer’s frame of reference. That was the origin of “relativity”. Einstein’s (and ok Lorentz, Poincare and others…) version happens to try to explain the additional observation that the speed of light is the same for all observers in inertial frames.
The “LOAD” put chrixstains on the planet so we’d all have someone to laugh at!
# 37 Zarathustra said, CHRISTIANS………….. Why don’t you all jump off TALL BUILDINGS….. & Test EINSTEIN’S explanation of Gravity!!!!
ZARATHUSTRA: You are “Relatively” hateful. Must be your Zoroastrian religion. Seems to have made you “relatively” stupid.
