Creationism Really Be Like

Imagine figuring out the Earth is round with just sticks and shadows, and then 2200 years later, people with satellites and GPS are like "nah, it's flat." Poor Eratosthenes is rolling in his ancient Greek grave so fast he could power Alexandria for a century. The man calculated Earth's circumference to within 10% accuracy using basically the ancient equivalent of a sundial and some math, while modern flat-earthers ignore literal pictures of our planet from space. If scientific regression were an Olympic sport, we'd have gold medalists everywhere.

Galileo's lesser-known cousin found out the hard way that pointing a telescope at the sun is basically nature's eye-fryer! The concentrated solar energy turns your retinas into tiny astronomical barbecues. Early astronomers had to learn through trial and error (mostly error) that solar observation requires special filters—otherwise it's just spicy blindness with extra steps! Historical fun fact: several notable scientists actually did damage their vision this way, proving that even geniuses sometimes forget that giant nuclear fusion reactors don't make great staring contests.

Your brain at 3 AM: "IT GOT BRIGHTER OUTSIDE!" Your body: "Shut up, I'm sleeping." Your brain: "We live in the middle of nowhere with no lights." *Brain frantically doing stellar calculations* "The full moon was two weeks ago... It's not a meteor... The light's been there too long... Orion is right outside the window..." *GASP* "BETELGEUSE IS GOING SUPERNOVA RIGHT NOW!!!" Plot twist: It's just your neighbor's new motion-sensor floodlight. But for one glorious moment, you thought you were witnessing one of astronomy's most anticipated stellar explosions from your bed. Dreams crushed by suburban security measures yet again!

Nothing screams "I understand the cosmos" like confidently regurgitating that one pop-science YouTube video you watched while eating Cheetos at 2 AM. These self-proclaimed "scientists" will fight to the death defending string theory despite not knowing what a differential equation is. Meanwhile, actual astrophysicists are in the corner having existential crises because they've spent decades studying and still don't fully understand dark matter. The scientific hierarchy is brutal - spend 12 years getting a PhD just to have someone who watched a 15-minute video with pretty animations tell you why you're wrong about the multiverse.

Nothing like a little cosmic perspective to make your existential crisis seem trivial! 10 100 years (that's a googol, folks—not the search engine) is so far beyond human comprehension it's laughable. By then, the universe will have experienced heat death, all stars will be extinguished, and even black holes will have evaporated through Hawking radiation. But hey, at least we won't have to worry about climate change anymore! Turns out the universe's solution to all our problems is just "wait long enough and nothing matters." Cosmic nihilism has never been so comforting.

The Space Race wasn't just about scientific achievement—it was a deadly serious competition with real casualties. This meme contrasts the Soviet cosmonauts who died pursuing space exploration with America's triumphant moon landing. The top shows a somber tribute to fallen Soviet heroes, while the bottom features an eagle-winged figure with an American flag basically saying "Yeah, we got to the moon first, deal with it." It's the geopolitical equivalent of doing a victory dance on someone's grave. The Cold War: where even tragedies became propaganda opportunities!
