There are as many theories as there are scientists. They're called speculation, not facts. That just shows that scientists are as confused as anyone else whod doesn't believe in God.
The sun is stationary and the earth orbits around it. But the earth also rotates as it orbits. At least that's what scientists say. But since they change their minds every decade, then everything they say should be taken with a grain of salt.

The sun is stationary
That right there explains where a lot of your crap comes from. Until you are willing to seriously study that which you argue against of course you're going to think scientists are wrong as you don't even have the most basic grasp of how they say it works. Everything you say is based off of whatever warped second hand knowledge you heard from who the hell knows where.
They change their minds because of this thing called thinking, and because of progression. You know, making progress. Do not give me that "inconsistency" nonsense. There is nothing wrong with looking for the truth and correcting yourself when you walk down a wrong path.
Whereas your religion is based off the rantings of a bunch of confused hunter-gatherers and sheep-herders "revelations". Oh, and they kill anyone that exposes the fact that their religion doesn't have many good answers, much less correct ones.
"In another post she claims the sun ALSO rotates around the earth."
In the interests of accuracy, it should be noted that the Earth's gravitational influence on the Sun causes the Sun to move in an ellipse around a point located under its surface.
Just sayin.' Doesn't stop Carico's statements from being their usual nonsense.
It's a good think Christian theology isn't like that. Otherwise, Christianity would have splintered into multiple denominations, and Christians would believe different things from what they believed in the 19th century (let alone the 1st). As we all agree, such a situation would be quite unimaginable.
"And everything carico says should be taken with two hits of acid."
And that's just the appetizer.
Must be a troll, nobody's that stupid.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
[Monty Python, The Meaning of Life]
This decade's theory about gravity is that it is caused by a giant vacuum cleaner sucking in air from the Anus Imbecilis galaxy and blowing it out the other side, directly at Earth. This contradicts the 1990s theory which said it was caused by a billion cows repeatedly farting on Mars.
I can't wait to see what theory they come up with when another ten years are up.
@Mike:
All motion is relative; even if you know the speed of something, without a frame of reference you cannot know its direction and therefore its velocity. Also, the definition of 'universe' excludes any outside object relative to which we may say the universe is or is not moving, and whether the universe is moving is meaningless.
There might be as many hypotheses as there are scientists, but there certainly aren't as many Theories. Very few scientists get to formulate a theory.
When I was at school, thirty years ago, I learned that the sun was the center of our solar system, etc (it's not stationary though, it too orbits, around the center of the universe).
It seems the scientists forgot to change their minds for three decades... Btw, I think my grandfather was taught the very same thing, around the year 1920.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
