[in a thread about geocentrism]
No offense intended here sj, but I find it curious that you can go though a long post in an attempt to refute one verse and yet swallow a moving Earth theory without a second thought. Are you aware that the only way either model can be conclusively proven is by an observer outside of the Universe?

Politics aside, it never ceases to amaze me that there are actually people that can draw breath and still think the universe revolves around the earth. I mean, how mind-numbingly ignorant do you have to be? It just goes to show that some people will reject that which has been proven and accept a not very well told fairy tale because they don't think their life will have meaning otherwise.
Hm. Actually, I wonder if there isn't a sliver of a point there. The reason Darwin's theory was such a Big Deal (tm) was that it allowed humans to have appeared by natural means, without any god's intervention.

This is the type of circular logic fundamentalist believers in the inerrancy of the Scriptures have to follow.
On the second page of that thread some links to geocentricity are provided. You can click through a few of them since they all point to off site info. You should look at their Tychonian model of the solar system. It basically comes down to it that the earth is standing still and the rest of the universe spinns around it in very compicated ways, mimicking what actually happens in reality. Crazy stuff.
<<< "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."
Actually, geocentrism is a lot more palatable to me than creationism. It's perfectly valid, physically, to look at the universe as moving around a fixed Earth, it just makes the math all wonky, as the laws of physics no longer hold true with that as an absolute reference frame. I'll stick with scientific understanding based on two gravitating bodies being mutually attracted, but if someone prefers geocentrism, whatever, it's not necessarily absolutely incorrect. Unlike creationists, who are, in fact, just plain wrong.
NonHomogenized - but assuming something astronomically insignificant is the centre of everything, is as misguided and erroneous as assuming man was the purpose of Creation or that an all powerful being would even give a shit about disobedient monkeys.
Well Lying for God, exactly what door is this? The door of 'Truth'? The door of 'God was invented by a pack of ignorant goat fuckers'?
Projection, Mr. LOG? You've certainly got the intelligence of a log, so read slowly.image

Look, there is no center, okay? Or, if it rocks your boat, anyplace is the center. Whatever. Lay off that cock.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
