Bodies of a Roman God Dates Back to Solar System's Birth. - Polidicks

[h2]Saturn Is Like an Antiques Shop, Cassini Suggests; Moons and Rings Date Back to Solar System's Birth[/h2] [QUOTE]A new analysis of data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft suggests that Saturn's moons and rings are gently worn vintage goods from around the time of our solar system's birth. Though they are tinted on the surface from recent "pollution," these bodies date back more than 4 billion years.

"Zeus proven to have been around since solar system's birth."

Hipster saturn

[QUOTE=Boaraes;40069393]"Zeus proven to have been around since solar system's birth."[/QUOTE]Saturn was the Roman equivalent of Kronos. Which lends even more to the story, as Kronos was the one of the first generation of Titans, and the youngest. [editline]00[/editline] Or maybe I'm just missing a joke, but the more you know.

God is inferior to Roman gods because God doesn't have his own planet.

[QUOTE=joost1120;40069622]God is inferior to Roman gods because God doesn't have his own planet.[/QUOTE] Imagine the outcry from Christians if Scientists wanted to call a planet 'God' or 'Heaven' or 'Eden' or 'Hell' or practically any Biblical reference.

I'm all for having sensationalist headlines, but these aren't even sensationalist, they're just flatout vague and/or false. You derailed your own thread before anyone even posted in it.

[QUOTE=SparkDog;40069809]Earth....?[/QUOTE] Since when has the judeo-christian god been called "Earth"..?

[QUOTE=joost1120;40069622]God is inferior to Roman gods because God doesn't have his own planet.[/QUOTE] I had this discussion barely a week ago actually. I don't know about you guys, but I think it'd be pretty neat to name a planet something like Yahweh or Trinity down the line. Fuck, we should start naming planets after the various deities we cooked up. That'd be interesting.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;40069787]Uh...[/QUOTE] that's the joke

[QUOTE=joost1120;40069622]God is inferior to Roman gods because God doesn't have his own planet.[/QUOTE] Unless you are mormon in which case you believe god is a physical person living on the planet Kolob.

Didn't Godjesus claim the Sun?

Isn't the reason they started naming planets after Roman gods because that's what the Romans did with the first planets they discovered? Or maybe the Greeks did but we use Roman equivalents?

I've always liked the idea of naming a pretty green and hopefully floral planet Eden.

[QUOTE=ravenhurst;40070578]Unless you are mormon in which case you believe god is a physical person living on the planet Kolob.[/QUOTE] kolob backwards is bolok which sounds like bollocks is this why much of mormonism is backwards and sounds like bollocks?

Mormon ex girlfriend has literally never mentioned kolob before in the couple years we dated OR the years afterwards. Thinking of asking her about that. Should be fun.

[QUOTE=Splash Attack;40071583]Isn't the reason they started naming planets after Roman gods because that's what the Romans did with the first planets they discovered? Or maybe the Greeks did but we use Roman equivalents?[/QUOTE] i think it has to do with the fact that they are called "planets" in the first place. planet means wanderer, and designated the "stars" that would move around in the night sky. it sort of makes sense to name the "wanderers" after gods or deities.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;40069787]Uh...[/QUOTE] Gotta solve those puzzles, y'know.

[QUOTE=Boaraes;40069393]"Zeus proven to have been around since solar system's birth."[/QUOTE] But Jupiter = Zeus. Saturn = Chronus.
