> Movement through space-time is all relative, as Einstein pointed out.

Einstein also pointed out that the speed of light was an absolute. So that would seem to conflict just a tad with the notion of stars lightyears away revolving around the Earth every 24 hours. Try workign out the velocity as a multiple of C for a galaxy going in a complete circle with a radius of 225 million lightyears in 24 hours.

Heck, work it out as a function of Warp Speed.

Everything else is on a transparent sphere just outside the orbit of the sun.

Geesh. Some people just have to be told everything.

"that would seem to conflict just a tad with the notion of stars lightyears away revolving around the Earth every 24 hours."

Very good point.

I suppose he claims the stars are much smaller and closer.

Or maybe just pinpricks in the shell of the turtle we are encased in, which lets in the light of heaven. (Or is that some Indian religion?)
