Mighty A'Tuin has a name, heathen. And it's a star turtle.
That's "Great A'Tuin" heretic!

What...the....whaz...?
Clearly, he lost his marbles before creating the Time Cube theory and website.
Also in terms of the tortoise - sea turtle- star turtle debate that's what the controversy is; not that the flat earth is supported on the back of some shelled reptile vs a round earth. Also you forget that the turtle doesn't have to fly or swim, it can be standing on another turtle. Also all the satellite images just edit out the turtle and distort the image so it looks round, haven't you ever heard of photo shop?

Of course, you can make the same claim about any other object in the universe, too, but still.
So your saying its the geocentric who aren't moving but think everything revolves around them?:P
Clearly your literalism has no place in this thread.
You're muckin' with a G!
Q.E.D.
You guys over there on my blue and green neighbor were pretty close, so it's understandable all this confusion. Still, being almost the center of the universe ain't too bad, is it?
You see that bolded part right there? That's really important. In the same way that not all Muslims are fanatics, not all Christians are absurdly stupid.
If only there were more religious people like that.
There are probably a fair few, they just don't get up on pedestals and shout at all the people down below. Not only that, but any opposing groups are more than happy to take that stereotype and try to apply it to anyone even vaguely related.
WHAT DO WE WANT?
A reasonable debate with all the relevant facts presented for both sides!
AND WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
Whenever both parties have some free time, maybe a three-day weekend if they don't have any vacation plans!
Yes, most other Christians are so much more tolerable. They just ignore science instead of trying to force it into a plausible context.
The best part about these morons in the videos and such is that they're using extremely bad science to disprove the scientists. They sound like homeopathic medicine cultists.
Like Kirk Cameron said, clearly the shape of this banana is undeniable proof of a specifically Christian deity.
Somebody find the one story where Satan and God have a bet over if a guy will lose his faith, and God screws over the guy constantly to prove the guy won't lose faith no matter what. It had something about his wife and kids getting a plague I think.
The book of Job.

Isn't Job's family the only people to be killed by Satan in the whole book?

I have been dying for geocentrism to become a hot-button topic again! It's time for some answers!
This was actually a big part of why I wound up rejecting Christianity. If their cosmology was all wrong, why should I believe in any of the rest of it? If you reject the specifics that are absurd, Jonah and Noah and so on, you're left with Deism which just seems pointless to me.
IIRC the geocentric model isn't even really from the Bible, the early Christians, being part of the Greek world, adopted a lot of Greek philosophy/science/myths, particularly Aristotelian. The actual Biblical cosmology is even weirder.
The anti-vaccination movement.
Scary, scary shit.
My grandmother knew people who died of Measles!
Depending on the demographics, this is still a Real Thing.
I also know at least one young person who doesn't get vaccinated because he had a reaction to a flu shot and got sick.
I'm talking about the crazies who don't believe they are necessary or cause Autism.
Go yell at them for me. This depends entirely on the vaccine, and, if you're working with whole cells, they'll generally be live (although attenuated severely). Vaccine design is a set of beautiful tradeoffs.
The MMR vaccine, which is one of the most common issues in the anti-vaccine fiasco, is one of these attenuated vaccines (well, three of them, but hey!)
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Don't insult Catholics like that.
These people are Christ Scientists, they think that Ayn Rand is the Virgin Mary incarnate 'pon this earth to warn us afore the Rapture coom.
Meanwhile, there are thousands upon thousands of accounts detailing how priests and monks furthered the quest for knowledge, often at the cost of their lives, and Pope John Paul II spent decades pondering the theological implications of abiogenesis.
