The way I have it is that gravity pulls the Earth towards the sun and brings it round the first corner when the planet is centrifugally discharged. It then soars out on its long path away into space but this loses its momentum and the motion changes into free fall. This is when the planet is again captured by gravity and pulled back towards the sun. This is why there is always an elliptical orbital pattern and why planets that erupted out of the sun cannot wander away from it...The clues are all contained within 'pendulum' motion...but it is a bit too advanced for you yet.
Better to just follow the accurate teaching of Jesus Christ and leave the heavy stuff to those righteously trained.

Actually....
... of whats the use.
So, what you're saying is that gravity pulses, the sun pulls on the earth when the gravity is on, then the earth moves away from the sun until the gravity is turned back on again?
Gravity is constantly pulling on the earth and the earth's movement is always pushing against it. You need to study the theory of gravity a little more and stop trying to insert your mythology into it.
I'm no scientist so I have a couple of questions:
1) How does "free fall" work in space?

The Fundy is prattling gibberish when he speaks of corners, centrifugal discharge, motion changing into free fall, planets erupting from the sun. He’s also mistaken when he says planets cannot escape from the sun’, but that knowledge is only 200 years old, and thus far too recent for a Fundy.
This kinda reminds me of Nancy Leider's notions of orbital mechanics.
She thought comets fell STRAIGHT toward the sun, and were only deflected at the last instant by the solar wind.
Her proof? When a baseball is batted high into the air at an angle, it is moving STRAIGHT downward by the time it lands in the outfielder's glove. (It doesn't, of course, but little things like facts never stood in the way of Nancy Leider.)
Just because there is mathematical agreement doesn't mean you understand the mechanics behind it all.
We have to give him credit for at least getting that part right. There are a few models, but nobody really knows how and why gravity itself works, only its effects.
On the other hand, that's probably not what he meant.
Now THAT is an epic and entertaining thread. 300 pages of people trying, desperately, to knock some sense into the TC, or hoping that he is trolling (he isn't by the by). Fantastic read, far better than any Nicholas Sparks works!

o.O You'ew nor too good at logic
Like those that know what they're talking about. Not NicholasMarks
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
