Then some batsh'it bastards said such blasphemous things as "the earth revolves around the sun, and we're on a round ball of a planet, not a flat world."
I watched half the video before getting annoyed and stressed.
The whole video is all about "It could be a good explanation of..." (even the narrator says so) but it probably isn't.
I don't really see what the point of the video is either...
Anyway, I find facts and the misteries around them interesting. However, I find mythological explanations rather boring and silly.
If we ever get to know more about what happened based on facts, I'll find those interesting, regardless of how absurd they sound.
Also, we're not burning whoever comes up with similar theories... comparing ones "agnostic" point of view to a middle-age point of view is an absurd overreaction.
