---"Thus requiring that geocentrism be taught in the schools, as the heliocentric model of the solar system is only a theory."--

Actually, we can measure gravity and calculate rotations, among other things. We can even come up with pretty exact numbers for how long a year is on a given planet. We don't even need to estimate that a rotation of Neptune may take anywhere from 300 days to 450,000 days; we can observe and calculate with pretty remarkable accuracy.

Perhaps the idea that some Archaeologist in the distant future could discover my skeleton and narrow my existence down to anywhere from 5000 B.C. to 150,000 A.D. should be viewed as something that needs a little bit of ironing out before we simply stop ever QUESTIONING it ever again.

If there comes a point where Evolution can prove to the same standard Heliocentrism did (and does), Creationists arguments will be forced to die out.

You tell that to the good Dr. Neville T. Jones, Ph.D., who continues to maintain, and he is a Ph.D., mind you, that there is insufficient evidence to establish that the earth revolves around the sun.

I am sure he would insist that stickers be placed on science books that say, "Heliocentrism is only a theory."
