Again: They don't believe they are planets like Earth. They believe they are small balls in the sky.
I was just going by your use of the word planets in this partial excerpt of your prior statement.
''...they believe the observable planets are balls in our sky,....''
That they think Jupiter, Mercury, etc... are balls in our sky is even dumber than first thought.
Dumb,not ignorant. Ignorant holds for the chance opportunity to glean corrective education.
Insisting the other bodies in our solar system are mere balls while Earth is a flat disc is just indefensibly dumb.
We can't take that seriously.
No kidding. No way they're truly serious.
If it happens I'm wrong and they are that's not product of the D word. That's the S word.
Please don't let them to influence children. Please Lord, not that. Not more of that. Please.
