The Atheism Thread - Part 7

"Stretches out the heavens like a curtain" sounds no different than someone saying "Space stretches as far as the eye can see all around us." Its not the same concept as metric expansion of space.

And that's the end of this one. Let's see what the next one brings.

Those "connections" made between the Bible and phenomena proposed through science are nothing more than people seeing what they want to see. If people are desperate/willing enough to have certain beliefs, they'll start seeing "proof" of those beliefs in things that could easily be explained in other ways.

A similar phenomenon occurs in the Batman vs Superman forum. We're all so desperate to see the reveals of the batsuit and wonder suit that we start seeing "clues" that it will be revealed on various dates that never pan out:

Hey, it's the anniversary of batman today!
That must mean they'll reveal the suits today!
Yes, it surely does!
Makes sense!
Dammit, no suit reveal.
We're too eager...need to get a grip.
Yes, certainly.
Too eager. We have to learn from this and not get burned again.
Yes, settle down gentlemen. Settle down.
Hey guys! This blogger thinks the suits might be revealed today!
Really? What evidence does he have to support that?
Sweet ****all!
It's today for sure! Rejoice!

And that's why you need to recruit the batboards for your Cavill cult. They'll wait forever on little info and empty promises. You will need to drug the kool aid to calm them down though.
