==Assorted wild beliefs==
* Sungenis promotes the idea that the [[moon landing hoax|moon landings never happened]]. He believes that "Any intelligent person who has studied the issue is going to have doubts as to whether the United States had the capability to put a man on the [[moon]] in 1969."
* He believes that the [[United States]] government is actively producing [[crop circles]]. He thinks that "crop circles can be made from space with lasers or plasma projectors," and that [[NASA]] would simply have to "put a digital pattern in a laser/plasma projector aboard a satellite and then shoot it down to earth, and presto, you have a crop circle." The point of such an exercise? "It gets everybody talking about [[UFOs]]… getting our minds off the [[Bible]] and [[Christ]] by making it look like neither are true."
* He believes that [[9-11 conspiracy theories|Al-Qaeda was not responsible for the 9/11 attacks]]. He instead [[antisemitism|blames Israel]], suggesting they probably used low-yield [[nuclear weapons]]. 
* Sungenis claims that [[human-dinosaur coexistence|dinosaurs co-existed with humans]] but that there's a [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy]] to suppress the evidence.<ref name=AlecMacAndrew/>
* He believes that [[God]] is directing him to promote [[geocentrism]].<ref>[http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/10/the-principle-geocentrism-is-what-real-biblical-literalism-looks-like.html The Principle’: Geocentrism is What Real Biblical Literalism Looks Like]</ref><ref>[http://www.sungenisandthejews.com/ Robert Sungenis]</ref> He is currently promoting a book (''[[Galileo Was Wrong, The Church Was Right]]'') and a film (''[[The Principle]]'') that promote the idea that the Earth is at the center of our solar system. 

Sungenis hawks publications ranging from relatively cheap introductions to geocentrism to books costing a hundred bucks a pop.<ref>[http://catholicintl.com/#!/~/category/id=1548576&offset=0&sort=addedTimeDesc Store]</ref>
