I dont see Genesis as giving any credence to your belief that the earth is the center of the universe...you believe differently...we just believe differently on many issues...thats all that needs to be said...
You chose to believe, that according to the way you read Genesis, it is logical to believe that the earth is the center of the universe...I would say, that your views are in the minority everywhere, here on FR, in the real world, and anywhere else...not that it matters of course, your personal beliefs are your own...I just dont subscribe to your beliefs about the earth being the center of the universe, and dont see Genesis supporting your belief...

Yep, that was a Greek (and apparently independently) Chinese idea. Aristarchus had proposed a sun centric model but in Greece, Aristotle's idea of a earth centric model replaced it.
Modern Geocentrists cite various old testament passages about the sun rising (or stopping) in the sky. From that they extrapolate that the earth is the center of universe. That never has seemed to me like a literal reading of the bible so I don't understand why Fundamentalists take that position.
I know for sure that my views are in the huge majority among serious Bible scholars.
I find it sad that you are unable to support your view that earth would be anywhere other than the center. A verse? A chapter? Even just a sentence that you found somewhere?
