No, I'm sorry it doesn't fit

Using triangulation techniques and lasers, we're able to calculate the size and distance of the moon down to a few feet. I wrote this some time ago on NDN, and several people responded by saying they too, wrote in to Berg to explain how it just couldn't fit:

--------------------------------

Does anyone remember how Berg ranted and raved about "science" being full of baloney?

I remember how in one very long letter he went on for hours (was it like more than 1000 paragraphs or something?) trying to prove that science was fake and that the experts all had it all wrong about astronomy, the distance of the sun and moon from the earth were wrong, and he knew where all the water from the flood came from, where it all went to after the flood, etc. He built it up and rambled on for hours and had nothing substantial to say. He promised to reveal the answers to all these mysteries, to prove exactly how the scientists got it wrong, but couldn't find a way to finish, and was looking for something smart to conclude the session with. (Many hours later!! I remember him telling Davida to go pee and not burst her bladder several times). Finally he came up with a punchline that just about said ....

..... absolutely nothing!!!!

Does anyone remember having to read fresh, new, "hot", MLs like that out loud in the home's morning sessions for hours, waiting to see what he was saying and then going, "huh????" several hours later? I know I did. I hated the way he wasted my time!

When he came up with how space city was in the moon, I remember him asking out loud if it could fit, and someone there said yes, and then he said Jesus showed him it was so.

I wrote him a 4-page letter with trigonomerty and basic 3-dimensional geometry explained in simple terms, enclosed some diagrams I drew, and told him diplomatically that "the top of space city would have to be protruding out of the moon, then... Is that why I think I see a small pyramid on the moon, or is that on the dark side of the moon?" (which is permanently facing away from earth) and signed off with the usual "GBY Dad" etc, (puke)

All of a sudden, in another hot flash of a revelation, he said that "someone here pointed out how the moon was too small for space city, so therefore scientists had calculated the size of the moon wrongly". In fact "they had gotten it wrong by several hundred miles", and how could they know what they're talking about, etc.

Afterall he heard directly from God, so this revelation that the heavenly city was in the moon was absolutely correct, so everybody else had to be wrong. You know the way that goes.

Very simplistic, the way he bunched scientists all in one group, no matter what discipline they came from. Well, I guess for his claimed IQ of 168, mathematics and physics and astronomy wasn't his forte.

Well, he hadn't done his homework on trigonometry, calculus, nor followed the actual methods that were used to calculate the distance of the moon, such as triangulation, and lasers. These methods allow accuracy down to a few feet across vast distances in space. While it is true that longer distances of objects such as stars are much harder to calculate using triangulation (even using the earth's positions in space at different times of the year), calculating the size and distance of any object within our solar system and even beyond, is quite achievable.
