New "documentary" would like you to ignore all of that science stuff on Cosmos, and allow them to give you the straight poop on the Copernican theory. Forget arguing against Evolution, these people are going old school.

A new documentary film, narrated by a former Star Trek actress, promotes the long-ago disproven idea that the sun revolves around the Earth.

“Everything we think we know about our universe is wrong,” says actress Kate Mulgrew as she narrates the trailer for “The Principle.”

The film, which is set to be released sometime this spring, was bankrolled in part by the ultra-conservative and anti-Semitic Robert Sungenis, who maintains the blog “Galileo Was Wrong.” In addition to Mulgrew, who played Capt. Kathryn Janeway in “Star Trek: Voyager” and “Star Trek: Nemeis,” the film features several scientists, including Michio Kaku, Lawrence Krauss, and Max Tegmart.

The scientists are of course quoted completely out of contest to give the impression that they support this lunacy.

In fact one of them, Lawrence Krauss, went to the film's Facebook page , where he responded to concerns that he participated in the making of this film:

I didn't..but the good thing is that I am hoping that journalists contact me, in the rare chance that more than 3 people actually want to watch this garbage.. and I can tell them it is not worth watching..

The technique of interviewing scientists, and then taking their answers completely out of context, was also recently used by Ray "The banana man" Comfort on his incredibly deceptive piece of propaganda, "Evolution vs God."

I cannot however so easily dismiss Kate Mulgrew's participation as the narrator of this pseudo scientific piece of garbage.

I thought she was great as Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, and recently rediscovered her in "Orange is the New Black" as the incredibly intimidating 'Red' Reznikov.

I actually think that this is just a desperate attempt to ride on the coattails of Neil deGrasse Tyson's new Cosmos series by introducing a "documentary" which supposedly refutes what the Professor has been saying about scientific assertions.

Personally I am pretty shocked that in this day and age there is anybody who would actually put forth a theory that was refuted over 500 years ago.
