Well, also incredible because not actually correct. The very first act attributed to Yahweh in the Torah, the Creation, occurs outside the circle, and indeed encompasses everything in the entire diagram.

It only encompasses everything because the people who wrote down the genesis story don't seem to have believed that the universe extended much beyond earth's sky - essentially, the red box in the picture plus just enough to contain the nearby stars, moons and planets.

Since those days, the definition of "universe" has expanded substantially, so it does seem a little unfair of you to suggest the ancient understanding of the universe and the modern are similar enough that the broad thrust of Hotblack's image is wrong

Eight minutes from posting to inthread correction - impressive - post edited and attributed correctly

There's a lot of scrolling required to get the whole universe onto a BB page, even if it is not exactly to scale.

Do you ever make well thought out posts here, or is it a rule just to fire off shallow hit & run jibes?

Seeing as it was posted 6 days ago and you're the 1st person to post since then think it's safe to say that the upset is non exsistent.

Posts like his are useful though. I find boards much more peaceful since I started routinely adding the most delusional posters to my ignore list.

But...but...but...if you ignore them, how do you laugh at them?

Zero thanks (bar mine), whilst the lamest of christian jokes gets full of thanks, yeah - people are afraid to thank it, they might be thought of - dare we say it : "RACIST" ....

Whining about not getting thanked? WTF?

You mean you're all upset because people neccessarily don't share your sense of humour? Because they won't jump in the direction you think they should? Dear o dear.

So...bottom line...you're a thanks whore?

He's complaining that we (the atheist regulars) didn't thank the Muhammed pic in great numbers.

In my defence, I didn't know it was compulsory to thank every post I liked or found funny.

Why don't you try posting an actual gag and and see if you can get a thank or two?

Peregrinus

It's a link to a relevant wikipedia article, illustrated in a fairly obvious and not very witty way.

I don't have a problem with it as a post; it's reelevant to the thread and, in other respects, perfectly fine. But it's hardly thank-worthy. In a humour thread, a pretty basic requirement for a thank is that you should post something notably humorous, and this makes no attempt at that. I doubt that Worztron was expecting a deluge of thanks for this contribution.

The notion that it's not getting thanks because people are afraid of being accussed of racism looks like something put up a conspiracy theorist looking for a conspiracy to theorise about. It's not getting thanks because . . . well, why would it?
