Well, It's probably been a year since I've been on TOL. Last I remember, I was arguing with Trump supporters who just knew he would be making America great again. So now that he's been president for well over a year, He has passed the largest spending bill in history, approved $500 Million...

The GOP controlled Senate voted 83-14 against an amendment proposed by Sen. Rand Paul to prevent $9 Trillion from being added to the national debt. "There is no sugarcoating it here. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) put forth an amendment to Senate Continuing Resolution (CR) 3 last Wednesday that...

If gravity is a force that pulls things towards the center of a sphere, the temperature should make no difference. I understand the reason they give. It's nonsense. They say gravity doesn't create tides in ponds because it only pulls on giant bodies of water like oceans. I understand the...

There aren't people that still think the earth is flat. Everyone is brought up with heliocentric model. There are researchers who are raising points about the Copernican model based on observation and experiments like those by Michelson and Morley, Sagnac, Brahe, etc. The problem is, the...

One could circumnavigate the sphere or a disk. Circumnavigation doesn't really prove or disprove either.

Government regulation of the economy didn't work when Obama did it. It didn't work when any other President did it. It isn't going to work when Trump does it. Free markets are the only way to grow the economy. "...The plan betrays embarrassing ignorance of how trade negotiations work and a...

Post erased. Posted in incorrect forum. Moderator please delete if possible. Sorry and thanks.

Your assertion that questioning something from a TV broadcast that I wasn't even alive for is "treason" discredits everything else you are going to say here. "You dare question the TV?! Treason!" How idiotic. Sorry I hurt your wittle feewlings.

Why doesn't gravity make sure rockets don't fly into space? Why is it selective about the aircraft it affects?

The question is, why doesn't it just pull the plane back to earth? It if pulls trillions of gallons of water to the earth, and pulls skyscrapers to the earth, why doesn't gravity just pull smoke and helium and birds to the earth? Gravity is strong enough to hold my house to the earth, but not...

Regardless of your position on the shape of the earth, the reality of the cosmos, or anything else...that moon footage is garbage. At the very least, it was faked to try to coax the Soviets into spending more money and/or to scare them that America could weaponize space. Now that we have...

Edit for technical difficulty.

It's explained as the density of the object. E.g. I am more dense than the air around me, so I don't float away. The smoke from my chimney is less dense than the air, so it rises. Notice gravity doesn't pull the smoke to the earth. By using aerodynamics or energy we can counter the density...

Joshua 10:13 and Isaiah 38:8 both specifically state that the sun is moving through the sky over the earth. Psalm 93:1 says the earth does not move Ecclesiastes 1:5 says the sun moves over the earth There are a few verses that have the earth still and the sun moving.
