Not long ago I spent many weeks in "discussion" with a very devout Christian woman (different platform/forum/message board/topic) who insisted that the Sun burning up in the sky was proof of the existence of God. She insisted that if God didn't keep the Sun going then it would have burned out long ago because all fires burn up their fuel and burn out. Therefore, the Sun up in the sky and still burning for thousands of years was proof of God.
I tried to explain to her that the Sun was not fire. I tried to explain about Hydrogen and Helium and nuclear fusion. I tried to explain to her just how big the Sun is and that someday it will burn through all its fuel. She would have none of that. To her, the Sun was proof of God and that was that.
Maybe I should ask her to interpret the Rosettes page.
