Really ?

:shock:


If you look at all the well-known Creationist propaganda outlets, they each have their own article on geocentricism - it's a common enough belief of Biblical literalists that they need to steer their flocks accordingly.

But perhaps my statement was a little incorrect: it might be more accurate to say that most flat-earthers have a fundamentalist belief in a particular religious narrative which generally also includes a fundamentalist belief in their version of Creation.

A quick scan through the pro-geocentrist videos on Youtube support this:

Rambles on about nonsense, then invokes God.

Heliocentricism is atheistic!?! :grin: Lots of scriptural support for his belief!

Mostly seems to be concerned with whether the Church has held the position, refuted the position, stopped teaching the position, whether Satan will do whatever it is they think he will do etc.

Doing it for God!

And so on... there are lots of them! I don't find it particularly surprising as they all seem to have replaced their brains with Bibles.
