Day’s Verse:
Do not be excessively righteous and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself?
Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
Ecclesiastes 7:16-17

In Geology yesterday we started by talking about the universe, how it came into being, how our solar system eventually formed, and eventually the way earth came to circle the sun with its cozy lunar companion. Turns out that is all wrong! Oh yes, Ian pointed me towards a fine web site called Fixed Earth that explains how everything the scientific establishment has taught us to believe is all lies. I encourage you, my fine and intelligent readers, to explore the site a bit – read its rantings, discover why the internet can be such a valuable and amusing playground. You don’t meet people who think these crazy things everyday, but the internet is the perfect place to foster these kinds of long diatribes that are at least good for a chuckle. If you want real science news, though I recommend checking out the fledgling SciBite, started by Ben and Ryan. They are collecting interesting science tidbits there, and have graciously allowed me to add my two cents in whenever I find something worthwhile.
