Nay not so, in fact science says the sun does orbit the earth from our frame of reference and hence even the most astute astronomer speaks of “sun rise” and set.

From another position the earth does a spiraling chase of the sun because the sun is not stationary with respect to the rest of the galaxy.

I am referring to an absolute unmoving Earth which ever piece of matter in the universe orbits around.

That is why I say those who believe that to be true are disregarding nearly every branch of science.

I sure hope DevNet wouldn't be so hypocritical as to use the terms *sunrise* and *sunset*.

Just for the record, DevNet, what terms DO you use to describe the apparent rising and setting of the sun as seen from earth?
