Many cultures have worshiped the sun throughout history. The idea that "the earth revolves around the sun.", comes from the people who worship the sun. The Sun God in Hinduism is referred to in Sanskrit as "Mitra" or "Friend" down to the invariable warmth, life-giving nature and optimism its light brings to mankind. It is also called "Prati-Aksh Devta" meaning "The Seen Divinity" and worthy of much worship and reverence. There is nothing new under the sun, there are people today who worship the sun as God. These people have masked their worships in religion, in Christ, holidays, textbooks and science.

Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. (Hosea 4:1)
