As Phil Plait said, all I could hear was bla bla bla evolution bad bla.

WTF? Evolution is not astronomy.
-
:wtf:
Since when did Astrophysics and Evolution become interchangeable terms?
@Galemp - Exactly...
-
Astronomy = Science
Evolution = Science
So Astronomy and Evolution must both be connected! And since Evolution is wrong, Astronomy has to be as well!
Note: This does not represent my actual opinion.

Difference is, Science enjoy the challenge of the unexplainable, whereas these people seem to be terrified of it, it's like reverting back to the days where Thunder was blamed on Thor because no-one was sure what really caused it, so it was easier to blame a big beard in the sky.

Dumbest thing I've seen in ages.

Sounds like someone got paid on a per evolution(ist/ary) basis.

The nonsense pouring forth from those videos would carve the Grand Canyon in just days. It would be interesting to debunk the garbage presented point by point– in the sense that it would be interesting to slowly push a red-hot knitting needle into my ear — but there’s no need. Debunking that video is like trying to cure chicken pox one scab at a time. It’s all "god of the gaps" nonsense, "science can’t explain this or that", with them always and forever forgetting the one word that changes everything:
"Yet".

I seem to recall theories that Jupiter used to be far more massive than it is even now, but shed a great deal of it somehow, creating the 'ice skater' effect? That's sort of how Pulsars get started, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was something along those lines...
In fact, it does make one stop to wonder what a Pulsar would look like after several Billion years, as it loses momentum and heat, it would become a large, slightly warm body which rotates rapidly and is a heavy source of X-Rays, it would have thrown heavier elements out early in its life, and therefore consist mostly of light elements such as Hydrogen, Helium etc...

I'd laugh, but I can't. Too worried about how many nuts like that are on the loose.

I bet these guys voted for bush.
and Hilary.

Pick something to argue about and stick with it, don't bring politics into a religion argument, and (usually) vice versa.
That said, those guys are a few pieces short of a full puzzle.

Astronomy is math, you can't fight math win.
