I don't know about the geocentric theory originating in the Bible,

It doesn't, never did, and the brouhaha with Galileo was *not* the Inquisition defending Scripture, but defending Aristotle, whom, if I recall correctly isn't even mentioned in Scripture. That's just another of the egregrious untruths told about Christianity today, in a non-stop, full court press...

Thanks, pardner. I didn't think that it was in there, either. I managed to get a thread up on it from long ago. How little things change!

I am very much amused with the left's newfound obsession with the scriptures, though. It will only make matters worse for them.

As The Galileo Review Commission reported in 1992, "the geocentric (the sun goes round the earth) representation of the world was commonly admitted in the culture of the time as fully agreeing with the teaching of the Bible … certain expressions, taken literally, seemed to affirm geocentrism."
