Let them have the bomb......

Islam is still spouting these medieval views in the 21st century when mainstream first world Christianity has moved on.

In Europe, yes, but in the US there is no shortage of Christian nutjobs, especially in the Republican party. OK, there are secular and mainstream republicans too, but they don't seem to be in the majority right now.

Since that bit is total bolux it makes me doubt your other "facts".

and before you start Bulltuliping about Mpemba effects or other such moonshine - You are just wrong.....

1) Take a mass of water at "cold"
2) Take an equal mass of water at "hot"
3) freeze them......... the "cold" one freezes first... end of!

So you deny the empirical evidence, experiments confirming the effect from the likes of Aristotle, Francis Bacon, René Descartes, and many other great scientists, and hold to some belief that a voice in your head says?

Go outside in winter when it's really cold, I mean -15 or colder. Throw a cup of boiling hot water in the air and watch what happens. Repeat with cold water. Explain the difference.

You said

Hot water freezes faster than cold water.

You did not qualify your statement with "may", "can", "sometimes", "under certain conditions" or any other moderator. You stated it as an absolute.

ie Your implication was that "Hot water always freezes faster than cold water"

You know and I know that that implication is untrue - generally speaking, in most circumstances cold water will freeze faster that hot water.

Hot water will have an initial rate of cooling much greater than the cold water but it will become cold water before it becomes ice whereas the cold water will become colder water before it becomes ice.

So stop prattling about Aristotle et al - and accept that you were trying to sound "clever" and you didn't achieve it.

No doubt you can come up with more counter-intuitive "facts" but unless you qualify your language and clarify that you are talking about exceptions then you will continue to appear stupid.

Everyone knows that it is FAT women that cause earthquakes, and they don't usually get much chance to be promiscuous. So....panic over!!

Drewster, you were shown to hold to a belief system that was at variance with established scientific fact. Rather than admit your views belonged to a faith based system, you use the same semantic tricks as religious nut-jobs do to deflect from your failure.

QED.
