I could totally see people acting like this.

Really? A friend just showed it to me. So it's real?

People think more ridiculous things are real. I'd say it's very likely to be real.

I went to a Christian high school. We were taught this. Our science teachers told us that if the earth were 10ft closer or farther the earth wouldn't support life.

So unfortunately, no. This probably isn't fake.

Would you honestly be surprised if it wasn't?

I would. One thing is to be gullible but to be mentally retarded is a whole different thing

Welcome to Facebook, where people delete your posts and caps lock at you for disagreeing with them.

It's fake.

I have no idea if it is but you asked. I like to help out.

Sadly, there are people that actually believe in bullshit like that.

It's not fake. The 10ft closer or farther away comment has been circulating among Christian circles as evidence for divine creation for a little while now.

While this may be fake, I can confirm that there are indeed people that believe that.

[–]Mehberry 0 points1 point ago

I do believe it is actually.

It really surprises me that this is still getting upvotes. I've seen it posted at least 4 times.
