The universe appears to be in perpetual motion...
Wrong. Everything is using energy. Eventually, the expansion of the universe will cease. Eventually, all matter will turn into energy. To be fair, he may be referring to Newton's first law of motion, although that is not "perpetual motion"... BitChick and her husband, if I recall correctly they believe the earth is 6000 years old or some shit like that.
Link me to where they said that. Did you guys watch the debate with Ken Ham and Bill Nye?
Although it was an interesting listen, I wasn't all that impressed by either side. Like I mentioned above, David Berlinski is an AGNOSTIC, and he makes some incredible points against evolution. Here is a good clip of him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHeSaUq-Hl8I watched. For the most part I really liked it. Although I completely agree with Ken Ham on almost all his points, I really wish he had not made as many references to the Bible, or at least saved it until the end when someone asked if he would ever change his mind or what was the most important thing to him. To use the Bible as a point of reference is irrelevant to those who do not believe in the Bible. Also, there was more observational scientific facts that he could have shared for a few topics. One being that there are some reasons why the stars can appear so far away even though the earth is young (It has to do with Einsteins theory of relativity. To learn more research Dr. Russel Humphrey's studies in his book "Starlight and Time") and there is evidence in the fossil record of plenty of sea animals that are in areas that would not be expected that can only be explained with a world-wide flood, just for a couple of things. But there is only so much time I guess. At least the discussion was started. It really is important to seperate the historical science that cannot be observed from the present day observational and experimental science that we can all agree on. That was a good point Ken Ham made. And, for those that watched the debate, what was up with Bill Nye's discussion on fish sex? I still don't really get the point he was trying to make there completely. I never have thought much about it though! Ken Ham is the Creation Museum guy.

Earth was a moon of Jupiter possibly as recent as 10,000 years ago. Moving the moon into a planetary configuration caused a lot chaos, earth quakes, "flooding", freezing & heating and an increase in gravity. To say the Earth was "created" 6,000 years ago isn't too far from what really happened. Venus was also moved and there's no disputing that its surface is less than 10,000 years old based on the most recent satellite data.

Dunno if I belong on this list. I am a bit nuts.

Turn off the news and read. Watch Psywar, learn something important about our society and PR, why and how it got started and how it brainwashes you.

Wrong. Everything is using energy. Eventually, the expansion of the universe will cease. Eventually, all matter will turn into energy. ... The idea of the heat death of the universe is taken from the Big Bang Theory. Unfortunately this is just a theory and not fact. Every single phenomenon the BBT explains has alternative explanations in a steady state universe. In fact most people already know that the BBT is a crazy theory. http://www.salon.com/2014/04/21/sorry_neil_degrasse_tyson_over_half_of_americans_dont_believe_the_big_bang_theory/

I believe in one "being" that is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. I also believe that throughout many of the religions in the world, that being has expressed itself to people. For ex: There are many similarities between Ancient Egyptian Mythology and Christianity(3 days, rising from the dead etc). Many religions believe in an joyous afterlife for the good and a "hell" for the bad. It's one of three things in my opinion. 1) God is like I described above(No one religion is right on their depiction of God, he is in all religions) 2) There is no God and I'm completely wrong 3) God is real and from one or a mixture of religions present today(So for ex: The Jesus Christ of Christianity is the true god) Well, that's just a view of mines.

After seeing the crazy amount of people, let's start a list of crazy people. To get someone added to the list, just post their name and a link to their post in which you can consider pretty insane: (This should belong in meta, but I want to keep meta more serious)[/list] So... yeah, I believe the world is around 6000 years old, and I never participated in any sort of scam/ipo/shitcoin/cryptsy activity. Am I crazy?

Actually you are not! Michael Shermer has a really good book on why we believe strange stuff, you can also watch on youtube his talks about that. Your particular belief, the 6000 years old earth comes, probably, from misinformation and religious indoctrination.

Jehovah Witnesses believe the Earth is only 6K old, and my oldest sister in Indiana attends a Church that believes the Earth is only 10K old. I recall my sister, who's a tad slow (but not retard, apology for this usage), talking to my dad at his deathbed to embrace Jesus. Dad told here, "Fuck Jesus!" Then, my sister went outside and cried.

If anything, that might of been a bad move on your dad's part. It's impossible to prove and disprove the existence of God....so just in case the Christian God exists, you don't want to go around saying, "Fuck Jesus"...

I don't know if ," For what it's worth, dad no longer says it" should be interpreted as your dad has passed away, which I'm assuming it is hence "talking to my dad at his deathbed", in which case then I'm deeply sorry for making that remark...

Literally, you believe in random shit written in a single fairy tale book nearly 2000 years ago as opposed to the literally thousands of research papers written in the last 50 years.

After all, God's got a plan for you, and hopes for your good.
