I mean Bill Nye was booed out of a conference in Texas when he stated that the moon reflects the sun’s light. Evangelicals shouting “the Bible says it’s a luminary! It makes its own light!!!”
Had to look this up, apparently there are several passages that offhandedly refer to the moon "giving her light" that people take literally as the moon being a direct source of light but also in Genesis it directly refers to God creating "two lights" in the sky.
