Ah, so I take it that you believe that the earth does not orbit the sun.

Totally depends on your frame of reference. from a frame of reference with the earth at the center, yes the sun does orbit the earth. This is equally valid to any other frame of reference (although admittedly it is not the easiest frame to work within)

Ummm. No. My God, the depth of ignorance of basic astronomy in the Creationist crowd is astounding. Sorry, but even though the center may not revolve on a daily basis, its entirety does eventually complete an orbit around the sun. It's called a 'year', in human terms.
