IMO whether some scientists were misquoted is hardly the point. The main issue is geocentricism itself.

Followed closely by holocaust denial.

Just checked. Latest estimates are around 40,000,000,000 planets in the universe sitting in the "goldilocks zone" ie probably habitable. Some 30,000 of which are within 1,000 light years of earth.

Difficult to say without having seen the film. It hasn't been released yet. There's a lot of people who haven't seen the film who appear to be saying that the scientists involved were misquoted.

There's also a lot of people jumping on the anti-semite bandwagon saying that the producer is anti-semite. Yet the person who they say is an anti-semite is a different person from the producer. I imagine that this must annoy the producer a bit.

One wonders how a planet with significantly less mass than others in the solar system manages to hold them in all in orbit. But then - hooray - religion has the answer. Don't ask. It just does. What moronic bollocks.
