Enceladus has figured prominently in the scientific literature over the last three months. Question: how could a moon stay hot enough to spew ice into space, be billions of years old? Answer: it can't. It owes its existence to the same event that gave us the Great Flood.

Ironically, I suspect only through judicious applications of scientific technology. It's not just retarded, this is roboretarded. Half-man, half-machine, all moron.
It's called tidal heating
Just like when we found out there were no gods required for lightning, earthquakes, volcanoes, and eclipses, this also has a natural explanation. No supernatural sky-pixies required.

Every year the Earth bleeds about 1 million metric tons of hydrogen from the atmosphere into space. It's been doing so for billions of years and we still have plenty left.
Think big, Terry, think big.
Watch me display my ignorance of all things science in one swoop!
You probably never even took a high school class in science, let alone study astrophysics.
"Question: how could a moon stay hot enough to spew ice into space, be billions of years old? Answer: it can't."
Real answer: tidal friction.
Next question: How are you able to post on a computer, but unable to google the asnwer to the previous question?
" radioactivity is an invention of Beelzebub."
Except for the holy nukes that defeated godless communism.
I'm really, really trying to figure out the connection this guy implies between the flood and a moon of Saturn, and I can't do it. Even in fantasyland what possible connection could a worldwide flood have with a moon a billion km away?
For those of you wondering: One of the questions about the supposed world-wide flood fundies are asked repeatedly is "Where did all the water go?". It is a long-standing "answer" that it was somehow transported into space, so any news about water being found on a celestial body can be met with joyous cries of "See? See? The Bible said it all along! Another proof for the flood!"
The follow-up questions like "How did it get there" are usually either ignored or answered with "Goddidit!"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
