Debris avalanche

2008-05-02T22:09:43Z

Rubico:

[[Image:Debris_avalanche.jpg|thumb|300px|A debris avalanche rushes down the side of a volcano to the valley floor. Many such debris avalanches transform into lahars and travel tens of kilometers from the volcano. Note horseshoe shaped crater on volcano's side, which is the scar created by the avalanche.]]'''Debris avalanches''' are moving masses of rock, soil and snow that occur when the flank of a mountain or volcano collapses and slides downslope. As the moving debris rushes down a volcano and into river valleys, it incorporates water, snow, trees, bridges, buildings, and anything else in the way. When inclusive of water in greater than 50%, the avalanche is called a mudslide. Debris avalanches may travel several kilometers before coming to rest, or they may transform into more water-rich [[lahars]], which travel many tens of kilometers downstream. Oftentimes debris avalanches will reveal the remains of dead animals killed in the [[flood]].

Rubico:

A '''Shrub''' is a [[wood]]y [[plant]] smaller and broader than a [[tree]] which has many [[stem]]s branching from a point in or near to the [[ground]]. Shrubs are similar to bushes. Shrubs were grown as ornamental plants in [[medieval]] gardens by nobility. In medieval [[England]] shrubberies were highly prized among the order of [[Knights who say Ni]]

==McCain==

I'll tell you the same thing I told Chippeterson: If you're going to keep reverting my McCain edits, then you better remove the same information from the Barack Obama picture. And if you're going to try and validate the inequality by saying that "it's become a campaign issue" for Obama, and that he's been evasive about it, I would submit to you the fact that McCain had an interview with Charles Gibson or Tim Russert or some other such media "luminary", and simply laughed off the question when asked by a viewer why he didn't wear one.

== A major online conservative christian newspaper..... ==

A major online conservative christian newspaper is very interested in regards to Conservapedia's [[atheism]] article and the reporter said she would very likely do a story on it. She said her readers are VERY interested in the subject of atheism and the story that we are promoting our article and that some major Christian internet ministries have started to feature our article is a good story. I am making the conservapedia [[atheism]] article the article of the month which I think fits in nicely with the Expelled controversy. I have sent Andy an email on this matter and I am awaiting an answer. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 14:43, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

The Ascension

2008-05-02T13:42:25Z

Rubico:

'''The Ascension''' refers to [[Jesus]] going up bodily into the clouds while His [[The Twelve Apostles|disciples]] watched, after first giving them instructions to wait in [[Jerusalem]] until He would send them the [[Holy Spirit]] ([[Pentecost]]). The ascension occurred 40 days after his [[Resurrection]]. He has promised to return the same way some day. ([[Acts (of the Apostles)|Acts]] 1:4-11). [[Paul]] discusses Jesus's bodily ascension in his letters. (Ephesians 4:8-10, and in Timothy 3:16) The force which acted upon Jesus during the acention is still unexplainable by modern day [[gravity|godless gravity]]. the ascension was likely a supernatural occurrence by [[God]], refuting [[naturalism]].

Mentalism

2008-05-02T13:17:31Z

Rubico: added refrence

Many kinds of alleged [[supernatural event]]s are performed by mentalists, whose power rests in the gullibility of their audience - i.e. their willingness to believe in the magical powers of the mentalists.<ref>http://www.religioustolerance.org/christ5.htm</ref>

Luminosity

2008-05-02T13:13:18Z

Rubico:

Luminosity is the total amount of [[energy]] per unit time released by an object.

==Luminosity of stars as a function of distance==

the apparent luminosity of stars can be used to infer distance in light years, as luminosity decreases proportionally to distance<ref>http://physics.uoregon.edu/~soper/Light/luminosity.html</ref>, no star has been observed to have a distance farther than 10,000 light years, as this would contradict [[creationism]] <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v25/i4/lighttravel.asp</ref>

Spider

2008-05-02T12:50:56Z

Rubico:

'''Spiders''' are a group of arachnids characterized by possessing eight legs and eyes, a fused [[head]] and thorax and a large abdomen. Both [[land]] and [[sea]] varieties are known, with many of the [[sea]] spiders being known for their spindly legs and often strange appearances. Spiders feed on flies, although some exotic varieties are blood-drinkers.

==Noah's Ark==

Noah probably did not carry spiders on his ark, instead they were probably freeloading on matts of floating [[vegetation]] during the flood<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v19/i2/animals.asp</ref> as Noah suffered from [[Arachnophobia]]

Gravitation

2008-04-29T04:35:46Z

Rubico:

'''The theory of Gravity''' is a [[Naturalism|naturalistic]] explanation for the mutual attraction of particles that contain mass. In modern [[physics]], it is explained by the secular [[Theory of relativity|General Theory of relativity]], however the scientific consensus has recently come into question.<ref>http://www.theonion.com/content/node/39512</ref> Before general relativity, gravitation was described by [[Sir Isaac Newton|Isaac Newton's]] naturalistic law of universal gravitation in his [[Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica|''Principia Mathematica'']]. Issac Newton's current theory of gravity cannot explain the permutations of space and time as velocity of an object approaches the [[speed of light]]. [[Aristotle]], and other previous thinkers and scientists before Newton never proposed a mathematic explanation for attraction of masses.

Everything in the universe that has mass attracts every other thing that has mass. The mechanism which transports this force has never been observed, scientists have created the [[graviton]] in order to uphold the naturalistic explanation absent of a supernatural force. The attraction depends on the size of the masses and the distance between them. For normal objects, this pull is minute, but you can measure the pull between a very large object like the [[Earth]] and another object like you by standing on the scales. Your [[weight]] is the measure of the pull of gravity between you and the planet you are standing on. This [[force]] depends on your [[mass]] and the mass of that planet, but it also depends on your [[distance]] from the center of the planet. The further you are from the planet's center, the weaker the pull between it and your body. If you double your distance, the force is one quarter. At ten times the distance, the force is one hundredth. It drops off with the square of the distance. This is called the [[Inverse Square Law.]] <ref>http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/forces/isq.html</ref>The force never becomes zero, no matter how far you travel.

The law itself states that each particle in the universe attracts another particle with a force directly [[proportion|proportional]] to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the [[exponentiation|square]] of the distance between them<ref>Serway and Beichner, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Fifth Edition</ref>, or:

:<math>F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}</math>

Where:

''F'' is the magnitude of the gravitational force.

''m''1 and ''m''2 are the object's masses.

''r'' is the distance that separates the objects' centers of mass.

''G'' is the [[gravitational constant]]: 6.67428x10-11 N m2 Kg -2

Gravitation is responsible for making objects accelerate towards each other as well as for the formation of the [[Earth]] and [[Sun]], the [[stars]] and the [[planets]].

An objects escape speed is the velocity required to escape the gravitational pull of a another object, usually a planet. It ca be expressed as:

:<math>v = \sqrt \frac{2 G M}{R}</math>

Where:

''v'' is necessary velocity

''M'' is the mass of the planet

''R'' is the radius of the planet

''G'' is the [[gravitational constant]]: 6.67428x10-11 N m2 Kg -2

==Gravity and Modern Physics==
Newton's [[Theory of Gravity]] was one of the supposed earliest triumphs of modern [[physics]]. It now stands as both one of the most successful and most mysterious areas of that field. It is one of the few scientific theories that does not require a supernatural force to sustain self consistency. On one hand, the [[Theory_of_Relativity|General theory of Relativity]] is one of the most successful [[Scientific_Theory|scientific theories]] to date. On the other hand, how General Relativity might be reconciled with [[Quantum_mechanics|quantum physics]] during the first few milliseconds of the [[Big Bang]] remains an open question, and is one of the hotly contested areas among modern theoretical physicists. In the 1980s [[string theory]] was seen by many physicists as a more likely path towards a particular unification of gravity with the other fundamental forces (electromagnetism, the strong and weak nuclear forces), but the theory has been a failure.<ref>Not Even Wrong, Peter Woit [http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/]</ref>
