Robert Sungenis, Ph.D., and Robert Bennett, Ph.D. have released their book, Galileo Was Wrong, on cdrom.
The book is 1000+ pages of scientific evidence supporting and explaining geocentrism.
Anyone who takes the time to read this book will come away with a different perspective on geocentrism, and will have to wonder how we could have been fooled so easily for so long.
The book is available here:

Ye flipping gads, what a load of flapdoodle and codswallop.

Quite frankly, I believe I am in before the ZOT!
It shouldn't matter that you've been here for a year or so.
Nonsense.
You probably believe the earth is flat.
To those that are interested , the guy here that is the author is a convert to Catholicism. In fact he proceeded to write threegreat books called "Not by Bread alone, 'Not by Scripture alone" and Not by Faith Alone" However, he is now aligned with certain Traditionalist in the Catholic movement and in my view has gotten kinda of quacky. However he offered a large sum of money to any one that can prove that the Earth is not at the center of Universe. In fact on his web site you can see where Mel Gibson's dad tried to take him up on the offer and at the end could not prove that the Earth is not at the center of the universe.
The next thing he is going to deny is that Sir Issac Newton theories were wrong and Albert Einstein's theories were wrong.

Well that's a sucker bet....In an infinite universe every point is the "center" and none is.
I'm the center of my universe.

Un-bloody-believable! Anything to make a buck, I guess, although the only thing your post proves is that you believe there are enough anti-science dolts around here to buy your nonsense.
Of course not! Those for whom no proof is acceptable -- no matter how legitimate and irrefutable -- have the luxury of knowing they will never have to pay up on their offers of large sums of money.
It's actually quite easy to prove that our planet is not even the center of our own solar system, nor of our own galaxy, let alone the center of the universe. But greedy malicious individuals, such as this huckster pushing his stupid book, can convince the gullible of anything.
Good. It gives me the chance to call the author of this drivel an jackass in two places.
One point is as good as another in an infinite universe...but by most normal criteria, based on things like orbits and such, we're just a little speck on an outer band of a moderate sized galaxy in a sea of other such critters.
The ptolemeic model works based on the maths, and seems elegant, but the reality it presumes isn't the reality that exists.
One can have some special philosophical reason for saying here is the center, but the normative determinants that even the ptolemaic world view had don't apply. Things don't spin around us. We spin around the sun, the sun is part of a galaxy that spins, and in turn it spins in unison with other structures.
The evidence doesn't match the heart, or even our everyday experience, perhaps. But reality is reality.
Who? What? Of course they were both wrong. Einstein's greatest error was in thinking he was wrong once when he was actually right.
Am I missing something?
