I took him outside to the parking lot and pointed at the sun and the moon.

Initially he disbelieved what he was seeing. We went back to the diagrams and he began to accept the arguments.

The next year, I was with him when he witnessed the solar eclipse.

Imagine if people in biblical times had known _that_ !

The best part, though, was this line from the source linked above:

Next he is going question the fact that the sun evolves [sic] around the earth and find himself in a papal trial.

Looks like the local newspaper that originally did the report pulled it from their online archives for no reasom, which was part of the linked article above, the story has since been reposted after someone complained.

Still funny, though.

This happened back in 2006. It seems like every six months or so this story gets repeated as if it were a new event.

Therefore, to say these planets are not stars is unbiblical. Nuclear fusion powers Mars and if you think otherwise Satan is planting wicked, evil lies in your head.
