[On the discovery of ice and organic compounds on the planet Mercury]
What if god just started to warm up Mercury or has mercury like stored and space is like his huge freezer and since he's going to end the world soon what if he's started to make a new earth by using Mercury and then Mercury will end up getting warmer and maybe alieans or something will land and then oxygen is made and trees starts growing and it's ice turns into oceans and rivers and then the aliens or what ever is on start evolving and creates new dinosoars and then some evolve into monkeys and the monkeys evolve and the human race is restored but the only diffrence will be is that it will be at a diffrent planet but if we die and earth gets destroyed will the humans learn how to talk like we did and name murcury earth?

Mmm, bizarre, but not very fundie.
He seems to be under the impression that mercury is cold though, which is kind of funny since most 8 year olds know better.
WTF tree, maybe?
Seriously. WTF.
And to answer the question, sure, why not. If a totally different planet can happen to have all the exact same forms of life that Earth had evolve on it, why couldn't they develop the same language too? We're clearly just making up things that are remotely possible.
Actually, no, not even remotely possible. Earth life couldn't survive on Mercury, and especially not if it got even hotter. So they'd be too busy dying constantly to develop any language, or exist in the first place.
Aliens? Ice?

Now and then you read a quote on here, and particularly in the conspiracy theory section, that makes you think "That would make a perfectly good science fiction novel". If only these people would channel their imaginations in that sort of creative direction.
Why would God need to start over again with a whole different planet? Couldn't he just wipe out all life on Earth and reseed it?
And Dude, put the bong down.
Astronomy FAIL.
There are a large number of reasons why life can't emerge on Mercury, for example, virtually no atmosphere, proximity to the sun, low gravity, etc.
If your god wanted to create more life, wouldn't Venus be a better choice (assuming your god can cool a hot planet)?
"Well, let's see. First the Earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. [McCroskey walks off] And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it- [Jacobs turns and starts to walk away, continuing to speak, trailing off as he gets further from the camera] he took her best summer dress and he put it on and went to town...." - Jacobs, Airplane II, The Sequel.
UHM,
"Hint: if it's closer to the sun, it's warmer. "
Actually, I've heard that Venus is warmer than Mercury because of the composition of the atmosphere and possibly the rotation of the planet. Something to do with a greenhouse effect, I think.
@Canuovea: The face of Mercury facing the Sun gets quite hot (upwards of 700 K), although the dark side is very cold (as low as 80 K, or -193 °C, but the average temperature of the dark side is 110 K, or -163 °C) do to virtually no atmosphere. For comparison, the average temperature on Venus is 735 K (462 °C), a shining example of why global warming deniers should shut up already (but that's a different matter entirely).
To everyone asking this crazy MF'er to put down the bong - weed doesn't work that way!
If anything, he would be on some psychedelics not weed.
if this person isn't a child, then they're sincerely developmentally disabled.
so, not fundie, i don't think. actually, it's almost endearing.
@Meeeh
weed is a psychedelic.
Sounds more CSDT, but whatever the case...
This was hilarious to read. Almost as hilarious as Pope Hilarious the I in Crusader Kings 2.
I really want to believe this was written by a first-grader. It would at least be acceptable in that context.
But, more likely, this person is at least old enough to drive. The thought is depressing.
Is this guy on speed or something? I can imagine this guy saying this really fast. That's the most epic run-on sentence I have EVER SEEN!
It's in the comments section of the Discovery channel site. I wonder if this is some sort of troll that goes to random sites in order to type something stupid & get people talking?
But if it's someone with serious psych issues or intellectual impairment, maybe we shouldn't be laughing at him.
That said, you can't really tell on The Net.
Wasn't there a legitimately mentally ill woman that went to a town meeting & spouted really deranged homophobic stuff? I think it went viral for a few weeks. We were initially like "ha ha" but then came to our senses.
Deleted first part of post as I think I seriously misunderstood. Left the funny obscure bit.
I wonder if they'll find whatever's left of Carce by now. The Demons and Witches have probably launched nukes at each other at least once by this point.
*/kidding around* */really obscure reference*
@dp: Meeeh probably meant hallucinogens rather than psychedelics, which are defined in a less-than-straightforward manner. But weed is a cannabinoid, a depressant, a psychedelic, a narcotic... categorisation of psychoactive drugs isn't always very informative.
Either way, I can imagine someone who's stoned (really stoned) saying something like this. They'd have to be at least a bit of an idiot to begin with though.
@farpadokly:
Now and then you read a quote on here, and particularly in the conspiracy theory section, that makes you think "That would make a perfectly good science fiction novel". If only these people would channel their imaginations in that sort of creative direction.
In the current case, he'd have to learn proper English first.
...I'm sorry umoksomeguyidk, that is incorrect.
Next commenter, for 200, Jeopardy category is "Things you should not put in your cornholio."
A hammer. Does this go in your cornholio?
Dude, you are either clinically insane or you've got your hands on some absolutely awesome weed. If the former, seek help. If the latter, seek me out and share.
Yes, we are going to settle on Mercury and rename the planet -- "Earth."
That has been the major plan for quite some time now. Didn't you get the memo?
Somebody is doing some tripping. And speaking of 'warming up Mercury', Mercury's typical weather forecast (unless you're stuck in some polar crater) is 88 Earth days of "Why is it so fucking cold?" followed by 88 Earth days of "Holy fucking shit, I'm on fire!" So mercury doesn't need any help warming up.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
