I had to reply to his e-mail that was on the brochure. he told me to check with astronomers to see if he was correct. so i did and they replied that he has a point but without getting too boring they said he was wrong and this is PROVEN fact. I replied back to him telling him what they said and that what he was doing at his local church, teaching people his nonsense ( by the way this person is not an astronmer) in my opinion is criminal. the tone of his reply went from calm to insane, he started calling me names and of course said the famous "The fool has said in his heart,“There is no God" which was getting of the off subject we were talking about. At that point i figured it was best to end these e-mails. I told him , if he replied i would delete his e-mails unopened. Can you believe a person can ignore was is proven correct only to make up his own solar system models based on the Bible. like i said Christians hurt their children letting them listen to this nut at church. i gotta believe those kids grow up so confused. It will take them years to get back on track.

People still believe the Earth is flat. There is a hollow Earth theory and an expanding Earth theory as well, all long disproved, but still prmoted. Like Frank Zappa said, stupidity is the basic element of all the universe.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
