Why are there so many grave errors in Srimad-Bhagavatam when it comes to material knowledge ? S-B teaches that the Sun is closer to the Earth than the Moon, the eclipses of the Sun and the Moon are caused by the attacks of a demon, our universe is half full of water, all the stars in our universe reflect the light that comes from the Sun. ( Stars are not independent luminaries according to S-B. ) S-B teaches that all the stars in our universe circle the Pole Star. ( They do not ! ) S-B teaches that the diameter of our universe is only 6.4 billion kilometers. ( 4 billion miles ). Our own solar system is much bigger than that. S-B does not get anything right.
Hare Krishna 😊
