I like the last picture. Looks like something I'd set up myself in my 3D software.

Yes, to people who don't understand it, evolution is weird.
But then we accept 'continental drift' now, when I was growing up it wasn't only 'weird' but dangerous - people lost their careers, tenure, reputation over this issue.
And how dinosaurs became birds, and how matter 'acquires' mass, and Young's double slit experiment etc are all 'weird.'
ToE is weird?
In a way that is true. The odds of any one species evolving is almost zero. But the odds of there being intelligent life somewhere in the universe is almost one.Had a professor in college who said if you look at evolution how we get to man..... was about as likely as a tornado hitting a junk yard and making a 747..... from that POV.... it is a bit weird and rather amazing too
As noted it's only weird if misunderstood or asHad a professor in college who said if you look at evolution how we get to man..... was about as likely as a tornado hitting a junk yard and making a 747..... from that POV.... it is a bit weird and rather amazing too

in this case, mostepresented.
Actually that argument was about abiogenesis and the originator of that quote had no understanding of that either. You are talking about the physicist Fred Hoyle.You don't think a Torando hitting a junk yard and making a 747 is a bit weird?.... Basically he was talking "odds", and he was not talking for or against....

One of his most obvious mistakes was to think that first life would be anything at all like life that is the product of three billion years of evolution.
Nobody lost career, tenure or reputation over it.
Your fantasies are what's weird.
That saying that people don't change their minds, they just die off proves correct here.
Well, I have just the thing for you then. Believe this or not, in my ancestry, my great grandfather lived in a city that was started to be a Christian utopian society, but the founder of it died within the first 6 years, and this other person took over. This was back in the early 1900's. The guy who took over made of $5000 bet that no one could prove the earth was a sphere. Here was his model that he drew of what he believed the earth looked like.I have never seen a model from the Flerfs. I have even seen some that claim that the Earth is on an infinite plane. Our Earth would be just a small part of it.

Yes, I could see where you might think so.Don't ask
Nice, Borg earth. We are the universe's sugar cube.
He probably got it from Hoyle. You unfortunately appear to have had a creationist teacher. What was the class?Actually that statement was made by a professor I had in college, whether or not it was his, I have no idea... but his statement had nothing to do with abiogenesis in context of the class
The problem with that sort of bet is that the person making it is usually the person judging it. All he has to do is deny. Even though photographs of the constant size of the Sun using filters debunks his model rather quickly.Well, I have just the thing for you then.

Take note of how many miles away the sun is from the surface of the earth, and how large he claimed it was in diameter! I'm trying to image if the sun were only 3000 miles above us, as he claimed!
But to answer the question of why water just doesn't fall off, that's because of the ice rim holding it in, duh.. See above.
