"Am I mistaken or has Fester just claimed to be a geocentrist?"
Why, I do believe he has. I have posted a brief explanation for his benefit, although it remains to be seen whether it will have any effect. Nothing else seems to.
He may not have meant what he said as a literal claim, but he wouldn't be the first geocentrist I've met during 'net discussions.
Of course, soon after someone posted a number of "debunking geocentricity" she removed all of the references to geocentricity from her blog and the links to
The Association for Biblical Astronomy vanished as well.
