Maybe that the sun revolves around earth?
This is just religion dressed up in pseudo-science. This man’s disconnect from reality is truly amazing. This just proves the mythical nature of religion. Religion has always been based on saying “God” or Thor or Vishnu or whatever exists because we don’t know why X happens.
This is just the latest modern creation myth. No different than the one I learned about the Native Americans whose reservation I lived a mile from:
Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Creation Myth
The Iroquois creation myth is a fascinating one, it tells of a world inhabited by all living things, all except humans... It is interesting to note that they tell of the earth being covered by water, and that these waters are inhabited by monsters. Perhaps the story was passed down from generation to generation, from the prehistoric Iroquois on... As the story goes, the birds which fill the air witness a woman falling from the heavens, and prevent her from hitting the water by spreading their wings as a safety net. But then the monsters in the water also try and prevent her from the dangers of the deep, but realize they cannot help her, so they send a giant tortoise to carry her across the waters. the tortoise magically begins to grow, until it becomes an island; an island upon which the woman gives birth to twin sons, a Good Spirit, and an Evil Spirit.
The Tortoise continues to grow, covering the earth, and when it moves, the earth quakes. Years pass, and the Sky-Holder decides to put humans upon the earth, so he creates six pairs of humans to populate the planet; the first are the Mohawk, the second the Oneidas, the third the Onondaga, the fourth are the Cayuga, the fifth are the Seneca, and the sixth are the Tuscarora.
