Ah, Richard Dawkins saying a moon is the greatest discovery of the 20th century. Wonder how many will believe it?

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

My youtube comment on the vid:

Ah, Richard Dawkins saying a moon is the greatest discovery of the 20th century. Love the vid, it's one of the best piss-takes on the whole miracle claims I've seen. Wonder how many will believe it? Good job, had me laughing.

the miracle is that Jonathon Swift (pbuh), author of Gulliver's Travels (published in 1726), had scientific foreknowledge that Mars had two moons, 150 years before science.

Oh, I thought it was serious and my soul demanded that I stop the video before the end.

In that case, followed/subscribed for life.

He was even in the right ball park with the sizes of these moons, and their orbital periods.
Genuinely more impressive than anything in the quran.

I bet you could make a whole series of these. As far as people predicting a future scientific discovery way before their time, some individuals have been remarkable.

Ah I was paying attention to the verse quote at the beginning. I missed the end with Gulliver's Travels

I'd be interested in one on A Modest Proposal.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
