Sun Rotates! Earth Stands Still! Saudi Cleric For Nobel Prize In Physics?

[JohnTan]

A Saudi cleric has become the topic of discussion on Twitter after he rejected the scientific fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun, claiming the exact opposite and added that the Earth is stationary.

A video posted on YouTube shows Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari answering students' questions and rejecting the centuries-old discovery that the Sun stays still, while Earth and other planets rotate around it.

When a student asked the cleric whether the Earth was stationary or moving, he replied "stationary and [it] does not move".

Then he went on to explain his theory while holding on to a sealed water cup and said: "First of all, where are we now? We go to Sharjah airport to travel to China by plane."

The cleric then asked the students to focus and continued, "This is Earth, if you say it rotates, if we leave Sharjah airport on international flight to China, the Earth is rotating right? So if the plane stands still in the air, wouldn't China be coming towards it?

"If the Earth rotates on the other direction, the plane will not be able to reach China. Because China is also rotating as the plane rotates."

The irony of his comment is that it came on the birthday of great astronomer Galileo Galilei.

The Italian astronomer was born on 15 February 1564, and has supported the Copernican theory that says the Earth and planets revolved around the Sun.

The cleric's answer triggered some hilarious responses with the hashtag #cleric_rejects_rotation_of_Earth on Twitter .

And shit does not drop out from his stationary anus when he is passing motion; rather it is his anus who is moving away from the stationary shit.

Don't care about his physics just ask him who he will be voting for.

There are many such Muslim clerics around. They haven't been laughed out of their jobs because they will pronounce blasphemy on anyone who dares laugh at them, and they have enough moron fanatics who will kill on their behalf. Their religion is kinda beyond hope.

Another classic example of the stupidity of the Camel fucking Wahabbi clerics from Saudi Arabia... They are a bunch of fucktards who love issuing stupid religious edicts... They are an unstoppable lunatic force with the Saudi Royal family feeding these fucktards with endless supply of petro dollars..

As long there are dumb simpletons willing to believe the fake promise of heaven or the threat of burning hell, these preachers remain infallible bullshitters. Look at Kong Hee, his followers don't abandon him despite the secular evidences against him.

Watch: Saudi cleric tells students 'Earth does not rotate'

Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari, a Saudi cleric, mocked on social media for claims about Earth's rotation made at lecture on anniversary of Galileo's birth

A Saudi cleric has drawn ridicule on social media after claiming that the Earth does not rotate, and that the Sun orbits the Earth.

Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari, answering questions from students at a university in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, told his audience the Earth is "stationary and does not move".

To prove his point, Mr Khaibari launched into a convoluted effort to explain his theory using the example of an airplane flying to China.

"If we leave Sharjah airport on an international flight to China... the Earth is rotating, right?" he asked sarcastically. "So, if the plane stops still on air, wouldn't China be coming towards it? True or not?"

"If the Earth rotates on the other direction, the plane will not be able to reach China, because China is also rotating as the plane rotates."

Social media users were not so convinced, with some noting that the irony that Mr Khaibari chose to advance his theory on the anniversary of Galileo's birthday.

The hashtag #?????_????_?????_????? - which roughly translates as #cleric_rejects_rotation_of_Earth - began circulating.

Mr Khaibari also claimed that the Sun orbits the Earth, rather than the other way round.

According to al-Arabiya newspaper, Mr Khaibari has previously stated that Nasa never sent humans to the moon, rejecting lunar landing videos as a Hollywood fabrication.

just like he is not wearing his turban, it is wearing him

But if he says the turban ain't wearing him, then whose turban is wearing each other?

Pls stop drawing parallels to the disgusting fap.

There are many such Muslim clerics around. They haven't been laughed out of their jobs because they will pronounce blasphemy on anyone who dares laugh at them, and they have enough moron fanatics who will kill on their behalf. Their religion is kinda beyond hope.

 

[Devil Within]

Religious scholars and religious leaders are nothing but retards believing in fairy tales.
I don't know why anyone would give them any respect at all. They should be in the same category as lunatics in mental Institutions.
