Stars are Souls

You, sir, have to be one of the most willfully ignorant fucktards on YouTube.

Stars arseholes are Souls is a YouTube channel run by Mike Stars (allegedy a pen name) &mdash; a guy notable for being nuttier than squirrel shit.

Created on the 28th of June 2007, his channel boasts just over 6,500 followers and has garnered about 610,000 views as of August 2015.

Mike is also the author of a book 40-page pamphlet, which &mdash; to him &mdash; makes Principia Mathematica look like used toilet paper by comparison.

Mike proudly displays ignorance even of many day-to-day facts, claiming among other things that "the moonlight cools things off" and that "airplanes or ships never come from, or disappear in, the horizon".

Methods and beliefs
Stars are not "Suns" or glowing rocks. They are orbs of living energy. Souls. Thats why they emit different colors. Mike's channel stands as a considerable monument to ignorance. His central belief is not only that Earth is the center of the universe but that Earth is flat as well. Oh, and NASA is hiding the true shape of Earth.

Ignoring the fact that there's no conceivable reason &mdash; nor possible way &mdash; to "hide the shape" of the world, and that all of physics basically goes out the window in that scenario, Mike presents all the evidence a sober mind could want in order to decide on the issue. His methods of investigation include:
 * Fumbling together literally kindergarten-level 3D scenes in a modeling program, with every rendering quality option set to the absolute lowest no less (even for desktop realtime editing), and then proceeding to treat the light simulation and physics of that MS-paint level CGI scene as correct real-world physics. Even in the ultimately theoretical field of proof-via-3D-rendering, going up against the Nvidia VXGI Moon Landing demo seems a daunting task enough, never mind when your submission ends up looking like The Pillgrums.
 * Thinking that using a subpar desktop monitor to just browse around semi-randomly on the NASA website, Wikipedia, and Google Images constitutes meaningful or even valid
 * Snacking on a lot of deliciously-crunchy food right into his mic, as he talks into it. No kidding.

Mike is also an expert at just asking questions, just asking literally suggesting things like "atomic bombs are alien technology?" and "will we have our first Alien President in 15 years?".

A particularly hilarious video is "Einstein was Wrong" where Mike "proves" using a "simulation" of the Bedford Level experiment that the Earth is flat because a flat terrain drawn in Google SketchUp is flat. Mike also pats himself on the back for being so very humble in the very same video he named "Einstein was Wrong".

Mike thinks that the moon landings are Barack Obama's biggest lie (Obama being 8 years old when the first moon landing took place). Why are they false? Because the lunar ground appears to be "unconnected" with the mountains in the background. Furthermore, the photos of the moons of our Solar System are fake because a photo of has better quality than some photos of the Moon, not knowing that the photo of Callisto was taken by the  (that was written right below the photo) at a much closer distance than the photo of our moon and not from the Earth. In the same video, he also argues that landing smoothly on the Moon is impossible due to the virtual lack of air resistance yet ignores the fact that lunar landing modules are provided with a propulsion system below them to avoid this problem.

In his paradigm-redefining work, he has also been able to connect the attacks of September 11th with Flat-Earthery.

Regarding his religious beliefs, Mike firmly believes that there is indeed a creator, it's just that he doesn't know who he or she is. By virtue of this overtly-unjustified conviction, he further believes firmly that evolution is a hoax, that all fossils are unequivocally fake, and that dinosaurs never even existed. Stranger still, Mike thinks that extinction is a myth too (even as a concept!), and so the must be alive somewhere, possibly kept hidden by NWO stooges.

Regarding astronomy, Mike thinks that the galaxies, planets, and stars &mdash; as we know them through science &mdash; do not actually exist. Interestingly, space doesn't exist either, but somehow Heaven does.

"Galaxies don't exist"
Nothing helps drive home a radical theory like munching on potato chips during your narration.

The first video (in his groundbreaking two-part series) consists mainly of him talking into his gas station-bought deluxe gaming headset, thus providing his viewers with a walkthrough of his process of investigating NASA the gut-wrenching noise of him greedily gobbling cereal and milk in an absolute car crash of guttural audio. Really now &mdash; this was chosen by him as an appropriate multitask activity to undertake while at the same time recording a talking voiceover way too close to his mic. While Mike does have a plethora of shortcomings... I can't figure out a way to end this sentence nicely

Science-literate (and, for good reason, quite measurably annoyed) YouTube user Ander Garin provides us with a rundown of some of the science in the first video that Mike apparently first wiped his ass with, then blew his nose with, and finally stuffed in his pipe and freebased in order to plausibly end up with his current worldview;

Mike chose not to respond to this criticism, instead taking all the time he needed in the very same comment section of the very same video to make fun of people who participate in democracy, to argue that the word "oriental" means "[because] they orient things", finally running along to happily subscribe to another random, equally cranky fringe channel. Anything for Mike and his peers to stay isolated in their own little bubbles of fail.

What happened to the channel?
For unknown reasons, Mike decided to eventually remove all content from his channel (maybe he finally saw an airplane disappear over the horizon?) and the links provided in this article no longer redirect to any video as a result. He's currently subscribed to Jeranism, a channel as idiotic as Stars are Souls featuring the same Flat Earth nonsense.

Some of his content is still available though, as YouTube user CoolHardLogic made a video about him. Also, some of his videos can be seen in this playlist.
