I can't watch any more(I'm at 4:18) and I already just want to bang my head on my desk. I didn't take a physics course and high school but I did pay attention in science class enough to know that people like him should be put down.
The bible is wrong about a lot of things because it isn't 100% accurately translated and probably never will be, because some people just want to hate.
So clearly this man is wrong. If the world wasn't spinning he wouldn't have made this video to tell us we are wrong.
Also, how long has it been since the Earth stopped being flat? I think he should go there.
OH GOD.
The helicopter bit, I had to turn it off. The inability to understand simple physics is overwhelming.
If this is satire though, it's fucking hilarious.
[QUOTE=Mister Royzo;35901311]It's actually perfectly healthy that he thinks an established scientific fact doesn't make sense and proceeded to do some research and experiments of his own.
That kind of scrutiny and scepticism is what the scientific community thrives on.
The problem is that he should've read satisfyingly thorough explanations on the first page of Google and not even have to continue to the experiments.
And, obviously, he should subject the same kind of scrutiny to everything. Including the Bible.[/QUOTE]
Perfectly put.
He spent like half his video showing off his lack of understanding of gravity.
[QUOTE=danelo;35900618]There's 30 minutes of this!?![/QUOTE]
Don't worry, it's essentially 2 points spread out over 20 minutes with the last 10 being "SCIENTISTS ARE WRONG AND UN-EDUCATED SPREAD JESUS WOO"
[quote]The moon is orbiting Earth -* so why is it soooooo hard to believe the Sun is ?? Oh wait did they indoctrinate you into thinking the sun was way bigger than Earth and was billions of miles away ? tsk tsk no wonder you don't get it. The sun is way closer and way smaller than the God hating atheists are teaching. [/quote]

This reminds me of a guy I talked to who believes that the days are longer in the summer because the Earth gets hotter and expands. Also believes the government covers it up.
Oh god, the title alone :v:

Oh god I fucking lost it when the RC helicopter took off and the music started

I raged when that happened.

he has to be trolling
Rotating around another thing means from the referential of neither object A or B. Proving it requires a referential in say, Venus or something.
Although taking geocentrism is still pretty dumb, especially taking in count the weird-as-fuck trajectories that the planets need to take if every other planet rotates around the earth from the referential of every planet. I mean, mars does a little step back in the middle of its orbit.

It would also mean that the further out from earth you wen the faster and faster everything would be moving around earth. The stars in the sky would be moving at exponents of the speed of light if they were orbiting the earth.
Though this guy explains it that they aren't as big or as far away as those nasty scientists have told us.
Well, to be fair, don't we use newton's gravity formula and others derived from it for star distance? That one was based from Kepler's laws which are already based in a heliocentric model.
Fuck, now that I think about it, I don't know how we measure how far stars are.
It's actually something based on trigonometry, using other stars relative position or something like that. I'm only 14, so I only have a basic understanding.
One thing I don't get is why do people showcase scientists with this conspiracy spotlight, creationists did it just the same as this guy.
I mean scientists are by definition out to discover how the real world works, why the hell would they make up conspiracies when the very field they work in is specific to finding the truth, yet we're supposed to believe scientists are in droves trying to perpetrate some giant coverup, fucking amazing.

No! A scientist's true goal is to prove that the bible is wrong! And they will lie about their findings in order to try and make people believe the bible is wrong!
Those nasty scientists!
This has to be satire. You could take everything this guy has said and make it into a segment for the We Know The Truth radio station in Grand Theft Auto. Dude even lampshades his bias with things like "if The Bible says the Earth is rotating, but it's really not, then the bible could be wrong about a lot of other things too", come on, that has to be a joke about insecure extremist jackasses.
Star distances are measured by looking at the same point in the sky 6 months apart when the earth is on the other side of the sun. The 'parallax' angle between the apparant positions in the sky is used to give a distance in parsecs. When the distances get extreme even for stellar distances, the redshift/blueshift of the radiation is used to determine the reccessive velocity of the object and its approximate distance using Hubble's Law.
