God first created the earth before he created the sun, moon, and stars. logically, the first thing that is created is naturally the center of the creation and everything else revolves around it. if the sun is the center of our galaxy, then God would have created the Earth and just have it stationary until the sun came into existence. he would have had to jump-start the earth's rotations and orbit once he created the sun. obviously, God could do this, but it doesn't make sense.

Yeah, but, no, but .... the sun isn't the centre of our galaxy.
And the universe doesn't have a centre.
Before I bake my tater-tots and hot dogs in the toaster oven, I sometimes make a salad. The damndest thing is that the salad always ends up in the center of my kitchen table, with my dogs and tot satellites revolving around it. Although this makes the application of condiments more difficult, it happens infallibly, and I am forced to accept as a universal law that whatever is made first just ends up in the middle of the other things. So to my thinking, Nicodemus has a point.
I have a feeling that this guy's knowledge of cosmology falls somewhat short of a second grade level. Seems like he doesn't even realize that our galaxy is quite a bit bigger than our solar system.
Also, judging just by the small bit of universe we've poked around in already it would seem that 'God' has a thing for TONS of extra crap, so I wouldn't put it past him to not make the Earth the center of all creation.
No, seriously, just no. To claim that the earth is the physical center of the universe represents one of the highest forms of denial. It's not a faith issue, because we can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the earth revolves around the sun.
That the earth would be totally dark despite the fact that, according to the Bible, the first thing that God made was the LIGHT, because there were no sun or stars, doesn't make sense either.
How small we really are
Open your danm eyes and look around. Do you see how things work? Do you have a hard time grasping this reality just because it doesn't jive with what you've been told? Say, there might just be a reason for this! Hmmmm, what could it be?'
"obviously, God could do this, but it doesn't make sense."
If making sense was important you wouldn't have posted this tripe in the first place.
Even the Bible disagrees with you. Taken from your precious KJV:
1:2 Genesis formless and void , and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
Note the bolded section.
Speaking of making sense:
Any point could be plotted as the centre of the universe, but that would give...
- the planets of our solar system some bizarre orbits
Makes sense to you?
"but it doesn't make sense."
Neither does taking 7 days to do something he could do in a second, and then have to spend a day resting.
Wow, a genuine geocentric universe believer! *snaps photo* He must have been dragged here from the 1300s due to some bizarre quantum time flux!
Oh, and to borrow a lovely insult from Neil DeGrasse Tyson: You, sir, are inexcusably egocentric .
@Kristoffer - obviously light exists without the sun because the sky gets light before the sun appears over the horizon.
Apollo needs the light so he can see where to drive his chariot - oops, wrong mythology.
DER! We arez senterz of univerz cuz gawd saiz soez!!
I mean seriously. Even if your just accidentially flipping channels you can hit a station that says something along the lines that everything you just wrote IS FUCKING STUPID!
I really wish there was a human hunting season....
"Obviously, God could do this, but it doesn't make sense."
Are we playing "I understand infinite beings" again? Many would say the entire concept of God doesn't make sense, but that's likely to be out of the question for you. But why do you assume that what makes sense to you, as a mortal just as your peers, has any more baring...?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
