I don't know about AV, but many believers have a special relationship with the number 9. Here is why.

Oh please, please, please tell me this ISN'T why AV1611VET is obsessed with Pluto. Please!
I think I would rather his obsession with Pluto was just a poorly formed criticism of science based on an obdurate concept that the map is the territory.

Really? like distorting "earth" to "eretz", then claiming it's only a section of land that's being referenced?
At least my "distortions" are in English.

I do not know if he actually made money. But clearly the plan was to sell books in the hope of making money.

Yes, it must be global flood. The other explanation is ridiculous. We all know that earthquakes happen and earth moves up and down, but that is just micro-geology. Bottom of the ocean is still bottom of the ocean and doesn't turn into top of a mountain. Have you ever observed that? Macro-geology is a lie.

At least he's making money in an honest fashion, instead of selling lies.

Ahem ... you have the originals, do you?How can the original wording be a "distortion?"
And technically, they're called the autographs.

Wait. What?
Do you not understand the question, or, are you intentionally moving goalposts?

Hilarious is the word I would use. AVET's adversarial relationship with reality on display once again.

Ummm, yeah...right.
You do realize the guy was already in a pretty prestigious position to start with, right? Or did you only hear about him because of the Pluto event?
LOL!
PRIOR to 2006 the guy had:
1. Been appointed by the President of the US to serve on the Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry
2. Been appointed by the President of the US to serve on the President's Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy
3. Had hosted a PBS series (Origins)
4. Was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal (highest civilian honor provided by NASA)
5. Was appointed the director of the Hayden Planetarium
So I'm guessing a few measly book sales weren't going to sway him.
LOL.
PLEASE, if you must come up with ridiculous conspiracy theories, make sure they at least make sense on the basics!!!!

We have copies closer to the orignial than the KJV1611 is.
Nonsense. Really. You want to talk about "Basic Doctrine" now?

Where does this idea even come from?
Adam and Eve spoke 17th century English... and so did the Israelites. And so did Jesus. Despite the fact that all of the records from those times (including the earliest scriptures themselves) were written in the languages that actually existed and were spoken back then.
And 17th century English can be shown to have developed from earlier forms of the language, such as Old English, which were themselves developed from earlier Germanic languages along with many loan words from Latin and such. And after the 17th century the language continued to change.
Yet God arbitrarily chose this one language, spoken by one group of people in one place on Earth (quite a distance from the middle east, too, where the majority of the Bible takes place), and chose the one form of said language that was spoken some 1600 years after the life of Jesus, to be the official language spoken by Himself, the first humans, everyone in the Bible...
When the KJV was first translated the translators even deliberately tried to make the language sound archaic for their own day, as writing it in (was was then) a contemporary dialect would make it seem too casual and lose some of its dignity.
I admit I like the KJV for its poetic language, and its translations are often aesthetically pleasing to me more than other translations, however it is far from the most accurate translation.
What happened to all of these original English scriptures that were apparently later translated into Hebrew, Koine Greek, etc. Are they on Neptune too? Did the KJV translators have a spaceship they used to go get them?
