hey ppl. consider this... how can the earth and all the other planets b completely rounded out and b in a perfect orbit around the sun w/o some having 2 create it. God created the earth and everything else. do u seriously thnk that some xplosionm couldve caused all of this. forget it. God is real. so believe or b condemned.

What is a perfect orbit? I have never heard that phrase before. And gravity is a good reasion why we are on a sphereical planet.
The last line of "God is real. so believe or b condemned."
deeply conserns me. Because the only person I would excuse to make a statment that we live in a 'perfect' solor system would be someone under 12 years old, yet the last statment is clearly intolerence that one should not learn until one is an adult of atleast 20.
"hey ppl. consider this... how can the earth and all the other planets b completely rounded out"
They are not completely round. Mount Everest is 29,035' above sea level, making the earth substantially out of round. The gas-giant planets bulge at the middle because of centrifugal force. The planets are close to round because of the effect of gravity, but none is truly round.
"and b in a perfect orbit around the sun w/o some having 2 create it."
None of the planets is in a "perfect" orbit. All the orbits are elliptical. Pluto's orbit is in a substantially different plane.
"God created the earth and everything else."
Prove it.
"do u seriously thnk that some xplosionm couldve caused all of this."
No, but I think the Big Bang could have started it.
"forget it."
No.
"God is real."
Prove it. Show us all some clear, convincing evidence that God exists.
"so believe or b condemned."
Charming. I have to think "correctly or I'll be "condemned." At this point I think you should prove that God is good.
I was under the impression that the orbits were slightly elliptical...however, if Aqua can't even spell explosion, I don't expect him/her to be able to spell elliptical.
PS. You're a moron.
PPS. I probably spelled elliptical wrong, because the universe is ironic like that.

Aqua246 - Please go and research Kepler's three Laws of Planetary Motion.
Also you might be interested to learn that the Earth is an oblate spheroid and the average diameter at the Equator is over 43km greater than the diameter pole to pole.
Explosions don't make spheres, debris gravitating together over billions of years makes spherical shapes.
As has been stated several times, the orbits are elliptical, and I wouldn't call that perfect.
As for the shape of planets, they are round for the same reason bubbles are round. It allowes tha largest amount of stuff to be contained with the smallest surface area. And planets aren't perfectly spherical anyways. Even without mountains, craters, and other things, planets tend to bulge out on the equator.
It's called gravity, dumbass.
<<< so believe or b condemned. >>>
Sounds like a real loving, merciful, just deity you got there. Or not.
I fully expected this to be just another Myspace retard, by the stupidity of the name 'Whyville' (Fartville, Crapvillle, Snotville, Dumbville, we could go on for years!) has put my mind at rest that I really am dealing with someone who has the IQ of a washing machine.
Dear Aqua246 ,
God is only real to ignorant little fucktards, such as yourself, who wasted taxpayers money by not paying attention in science class.
Please try again.
"believe or b condemned." It's hard enough to take seriously a line that sounds like it came from a comic book; it's even harder to take it seriously when it and the preceding text are typed as if by a stroke-impaired monkey. Come to think of it, the stroke-impaired monkey probably would be able to write something more sensible and intelligent, even with the typos.

If you pick the units right, you can make the numerical value whatever you want.
But in standard units (m^3/[kg*s^2]), yes, it is.
Machine translations are imperfect. Single-tired-person translations may be equally flawed. Fundiebabble-to-English translator now engaged.
Translation:
I have an argument for God's existence.
1. I declare planets' orbits to be "perfect," whatever that means.
2. I declare planets' shapes to be "perfect," whatever that means.
3. From 1 and 2, we can see that there are things in the universe which I declare "perfect."
4. I declare that perfection can only be created by the Christian god.
5. Plus, you'll be tortured forever if you don't believe in God, regardless of what the evidence suggests.
6. Therefore God exists.
The fundie argument about the "balance" and "clockwork precision" of the universe as proof of God is absolute crap. If God is omnipotent, then he could create a universe that defies all laws of physics and therefore remove all doubt of his existence. To argue otherwise is just wishful thinking and self-delusion.
@Prager
They are not completely round. Mount Everest is 29,035' above sea level, making the earth substantially out of round.
Incidentally, the reference sea level against which such measurements are made is not a perfect sphere: the difference between the equatorial radius and the polar radius is about two and a half times the height of Mt Everest.
Some of the other planets, notably Saturn, are even more flattened.
I'd rather be condemned, educated and intelligent, than saved and as illiterate and stupid as you are.
Gravity made them fairly round. The orbits are more or less elliptical, and gravity is also forming the orbits.
Who created God? How can he be perfect without someone having created him?
For the umpteenth time; E X P A N S I O N, not explosion.
The planets aren't completely rounded out, nor are they in a perfect orbit.
Expansion, not explosion, stupid.
> how can the earth and all the other planets b [sic] completely rounded out
Planets aren't spheres. They're irregular clumps of rock.
> and b [sic] in a perfect orbit around the sun
They aren't.
> w/o some having 2 [sic] create it.
Even if either of the previous statements were true, they don't imply a creator.
> do u [sic] seriously thnk [sic] that some xplosionm [sic] couldve [sic] caused all of this.
As a matter of fact, no, I don't. I believe the laws of physics caused all this.
Your threats don't scare me nor will they frighten me into believing and buying the bullshit you sell.
Argument Ad Bacculum, Argument from Ignorance, Begging the Question, and Non-Sequitor.
Did I miss anything else in your bullshit writing?
Oh yeah...planets are not perfectly round, especially ours.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
