www.conservapedia.com - What do you think?

Sorry nator, but that comment is no better than conservapedia.comIf you think for one second that most people who are conservative are stupid, you need to go check your statistics. With 97% of the American public scientifically illterate, whos who?

That is a great statement.

It's very easy to read between the lines and say that that she is implying that most conservatives are stupid.But that wasn't my point, my point was to counter what she said, in that most people in general are stupid, doesn't matter your political view. And that is something I have been saying since I joined this forum, and something I will stick by forever.
And stupid in the sense, that 80% of people are not good at what they do, and don't think things through at all. God forgive me.
But I cannot deny the facts that I have experienced throughout life.
It doesn't mean that people are bad, either.

Either way, that is an unsupported claim.
BTW, I amnot sticking up for conservatives.

I am confused, are they actually claiming that the tidal forces are effecting the moon? Isn't it the other way around?And the moon doesn't always have the same side facing us, it rocks ever so slightly.

Right, I knew all that, I was into ameture astronomy for many years.
What I wasn't sure of was the claim by conservapedia. They actually claim that the tidal forces affect the moon, not the other way around?
That's something you learn in like second or third grade.

My question was more towards the actual ocean tides.
If there was no moon, would we still have tides?

Yes, I remeber that after I posted, then I lost connection, so I couldn't correct myself.
