He’s neither fundie nor non-fundie. He’s just a troll.

meanwhile, as to a “bloody hell”, what makes you think that disembodied spirits have blood. Hell might well be bone dry? but don’t allow me to carry any prejudice into the topic.

thanks again, mirth is good for one’s coronaries

neptune radiates; means it gives off light; means there is an energy source in it. I am not talking about reflected light. what that light/ energy source is I am not prepared to guess at this point in time - gravitational potential/ collapse or nuclear radioisotopic decay or ……….. ??

stars radiate also, at least most of them, it would appear

when you look at the sky you have a watch, inclinonmeter, compass, etc. but by enlarge you are measuring just two things. 1. LUX and 2. wavelength.

that makes neptune a dim star or stars bright planets.

planet simply means “moving” - but my guess is you are unmoved - relatively speaking

so have a great day - time constrained - day in the sun

I don’t wish to address his “argument” about celestial objects. I’ll leave that to someone capable of understanding whatever the hell he was trying to say. I do want to address this, however:

perhaps one day you will realize what the bible is [God willing]

Oh, P-G, I know all too well what the bible is. Rarely in human history has a document come along to inspire people to explore the depths of their own depravities like the goddamned bible. If you are looking for an instuction manual on how to inflict misery on others, dumb down our children and treat women like property, this is it. Lest you think I’m picking on Christianity, I happily apply the same description to the koran. The only other document I can think of as being more odious, malevolent, and unforgivable is the good old Malleus Maleficarum, which translated, means “Hammer of the Witches”. The book was a sort of 24-hour tech support hotline for those looking to detect, torture, and execute women (in the name of God, of course) during the glorious Inquisition. This gift to humanity came from Christianity, I might mention.

So, yes. I am well aware of the bible and what it has done to our species, and, if its all the same to you P-G, I’d rather not waste my time on it, OK?

I know Ron already stated it, but it is worth repeating: the premise that there is no difference between stars and planets is fundamentally (irony intended) flawed. It’s a bit like saying there is no difference between a battleship and a flower. Well, by gosh, they are both made of atoms, so that makes them the same?

Your premise is that the Bible is 100% correct. Maybe within that context, there is no practical difference between stars and planets. However, you premise is incorrect. The Bible has been shown to be full of factual errors. Furthermore, out here in the real world, there are many practical differences between stars and planets. You are welcome to join us out here. It’s not nearly as scary as you think.

you nearly got the point:

“They’re both just points of light in the sky”

but the statement / this quote stand for much more than that. Any distinction between planets and stars is scientifically useless in terms of predicting how these things came to be where they now are. Any distinction between a brown dwarf star and a gas giant planet is really quite useless / quite arbitrary. In terms on nomenclature it gives nothing away.

“Talk about wasting energy!” - if you got it from “nowhere” and it cost you “nothing” then why not use a ‘bit’

perhaps one day you will realize what the bible is [God willing]

thankyou for your [collective] posts all the same

If I were to go onto some Christian blog after a few stiff drinks (I’m with you, Parrotlover…) and start typing the most asinine nonsense I can dream up, it would be met with minimal resistance, especially if I can dredge up some vague bible verse to compliment it. These people will believe anything, except reality.
