These are the craziest claims I've ever heard! Space doesn't exist! Since when did religious folks have something against space! Don't they believe god created the stars and the galaxies? Sheesh...

From those two statements, I can't tell whether you concur with the OP, or mocking him. Care to clarify that?

Um, escuse me but - there is no gravity within a merry-go-round.
No planets in space .......... oh my gawd, I just still can't get over this !!!

Gravitation is a natural phenomenon by which all objects with mass attract each other, and is one of the fundamental forces of physics. In everyday life, gravitation is most commonly thought of as the agency that gives objects weight. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity

# # for the surface of venus to be proportional to the suns without distance shrinking, # venus would have to be stuck to the sun. this is a distance of the radius 6 051.8 km. # the surface of venus is roughly 13 208 times smaller than the sun. # # this means that roughly every 6 052 km away from the sun venus gets, # venus grows in surface size by 1/13208'th the size of the sun's.
what am I seeing as Jupiter thru my own telescope if planets don't exist?

Well in THAT case, I'm gonna make up my OWN perception of outer space. The Milky Way is a huge vanilla and chocolate swirl of endless ice cream goodness! Oh, oh, and let's see: the moon is a gigantic, endless supply of sugar! Weee! More sweet tea for me! Oh? Why not an ENDLESS FOUNTAIN OF TEA THAT IS WHAT WE THINK IS JUPITER?! There's a better idea! OMG, the sun is made of, of, creeeeaaaaam saaaavors!
*pant, pant*
IN OTHER LESS PSYCHOTIC WORDS, if everything isn't what it seems, then everything can't have just one purpose or explainatin. IF, what you're implying is true, than the universe could be what we WANT to be. Now THAT would be disasterous, now wouldn't it? There has to be some kind of logic to this; and it isn't, in my belief, any of divinity.
