That's a big hint that it is, in fact, serious. Crazy kooks for some reason love garishly designed websites, bright colors, and randomly capitalized words. That website does not have as much capitalization, but the other factors are there in abundance.Originally Posted by Shorty
Another hint is the consistent reference to the original discoverer of a theory as its sole champion. Heliocentric theory is "Copernicanism," just as evolution to anti-evolution whackjobs is "Darwinism." The fundie mind can't comprehend that scientific theories are actually developed by observation and that, regardless of Copernicus or Darwin, we would have made those same discoveries. And that we don't, in fact, worship everything they say.
Lastly, the author insists on demeaning the scientific theories by equating or associating them with religious beliefs (which, by the way, always boggles my mind -- doesn't such tactics implicitly concede that empiricism is superior to religious faith?). For instance:
I am pretty certain the author is entirely serious. Or this is the most intricate and impressive parody I've ever seen.Furthermore, a search of 'Cassini and the Occult' will reveal its Hindu Theosophy and Jesuit roots. So--as with the Copernican Keystone of the Pharisee Religion's Big Bang Evolutionary Paradigm [2]--Cassini's Model is "religious" deception, not "secular" science as claimed. FACT: ALL models of the "cosmos" are religious![3]
So, there is no secular/non-religious Model of the Universe; i.e., no Atheist option.
