What is geocentricity?

It is the belief and teaching that the earth is the center of the solar system and/or the universe.

If you just read that for the first time, it is probably hard to believe that anyone would believe such a thing!

I understand. After all, “everyone” who has attended school in the last 400 years or so has been taught that the earth is just one of several planets that go around the sun, and the sun is just a small or medium-sized star in a rather small solar system that is lost in a galaxy, off center of a vast and continually expanding universe!

And if the solar system, sun, and earth really are “not much”, if you look at things that way, how much (good or worth) is puny man?

Yes, if that was all true, what would man be? But such teaching of the miniscule, near-nothing size and importance of the earth is not true. It is a lie meant to help us feel worthless!

You don't assign a humans worth based on the size of the universe, if you wanna to do that the Earth itself would suffice and for you lot it's which religion one is that counts anyway.

The immensity of the universe has no fucking bearing on this AT ALL.

This is how W.L.Craig operates, elevating a topic up beyond the limits of knowledge then making an assertion about that unknown and claiming that applies to the bottom line and since we don't know about that high concept, or disprove it (God) we can't argue with his conclusion top or bottom.

Does the universe make you feel small? It should, so should a giant Redwood or a Mountain. It doesn't relate to your worth or the perimeters of your existence.

Dr. Buzz Aldrin would like a word with you.

(On the Moon Landing):

'It is a magnificent testimony to the evolution of humankind'

-Dr. Buzz Aldrin

"I understand."

Someone else thought he 'understood' better than Buzz. He was soon [I]forced[/I] to understand differently, once he'd re-entered Reality, picked himself off the floor and went to the dentist to have several teeth re-entered into his mouth.

That's one small brain for (a) 'man'... one giant hit for Humankind. >:D

What is geocentricity? It's the debunked idiocy that Earth is somehow the center of the solar system, even though all evidence points to us orbiting the sun, just like the other planets in our solar system.

It's not the first time I read that, but it's still just as hard to believe that anyone would believe such nonsense.

Oh, you poor, poor speshul little sunflower, does it hurt your precious little feelings that you're not the center of the universe, and the speshul creation of that Sky-Bully of yours?

Who says our solar system is "not much"? It's gigantic, vast, elegant and interesting. It's just that the Universe is even more gigantic, vast, elegant and interesting. Reality isn't either black or white, silly, it can be both black and white, and red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet at the same time. Just cause something is bigger than you, doesn't mean that you have no worth whatsoever.

You might think that maggots are minuscule, near-nothing, but maggots will be eating us all after we die; mice, dogs, humans, elephants and blue wales.

It's a truth meant to help us feel part of something bigger than us, silly. Intelligent people find it aw-inspiring, not a puncture to a bloated self-image, like you apparently do.

It is incredible to find so much misinformation concentrated in only one website.
By the way, anyone who has taken elementary Physics or Astronomy can answer ALL of your objections. It is obvious that you have never read anything of the sort.
1) True, but irrelevant.
2) The air is attached to the Earth by friction with the surface.
3) That is like saying that the air in a car is not moving, since it has the same pressure everywhere in the car.
4) An aircraft DOES go faster when heading West than when heading East relative to the center of mass of the Earth. But since we measure motion RELATIVE TO THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH, no such speed difference is apparent.
Surely the equator moves faster than the poles. So does the center of a tire go faster than the outer edge.

Let's face it, you are an ignorant fool, but with the temerity to contradict those who KNOW.

...however, as per "The Simpsons" being rendered pointless*, post-my watching "Father of the Pride", I'm afraid there's now an infinitely superior 'Trollface**':

As per that exhibited by Anko Isuna (in the anime series "Ore Twintails ni Arimasu").

*- Just as - by the third film; almost by the first sequel - "Shrek" started becoming the very thing it was originally created to parody, "The Simpsons" has basically become "The Flintstones". By becoming long-running, it's a case of 'Familiarity breeds contempt'. Eiichiro Oda, re. "One Piss" becoming the new "Naruturd", I'm looking at you. "Outlaw Star": Gene Starwind & co. finding the Galactic Leyline in just 26 episodes. "Coyote Ragtime Show": Mister & co. finding Pirate King Bruce's S$10 billion in just 12 episodes. "Moretsu Pirates": Kato Marika & co. finding the Golden Ghost Ship in just 11 episodes; more 'adventurin' after that, 26 eps. total. [/rant mode off]

**- Certainly since it was parodied by Eric Schwartz in his webcomic "Sabrina Online".

"So does the center of a tire go faster than the outer edge"

You might want to think that again. Draw a line straight out from the center of a tyre to the outer edge. Now select any two points along that line. The inner point doesn't revolve any faster around the center point than the outer point. Otherwise your tyre would be severely distorted. That's why for example it's doesn't make any difference where you set a speedometer on a bicycle pin. It gives the exact same speed being put anywhere, either close to the axle or almost at the edge of the rim (and of course given that it's calibrated to the right inch-size of the rim). So, no.
