Desperately Fleeing God in Cosmology

"We’re just going around in circles now, and its pretty clear you’re too ashamed to even talk directly about your belief that the universe is only a few thousand years old."

You're the one going around in circles and it's pretty clear you're too ashamed to admit that you cannot find statements by Einstein, Hoyle, Born and Ellis that refute the quotes I provided.

"Since you are under the impression that parroting a previous post is the height of cleverness, I’m not sure if you’re up to continuing."

Since you're under the impression that your arguments have more meaning when you make them than when they are repeated back to you, I'm not sure if you're up to continuing.

"The year is 2008 and you believe that the sun and the universe revolve around the earth, and the universe is only a few thousand years old. Wow."

I provided statements to you by informed, modern scientists showing the equivalence of the two models and the inability to physically distinguish between them. You simply reject them because you choose to believe in one particular model for philosophical reasons, as Ellis made clear.

When you were seven, and you parroted the older kids who were were picking on you for believing in the tooth fairy, did it win you a lot of friends on the playground or did you eat a lot of your lunches alone?

I didn’t see anything in your post that indicated what it was that made you believe the universe was only a few thousand years old.

When you were seven, and you ridiculed the older kids who tried to tell you that Santa didn't exist in spite of what your parents told you, did it win you a lot of friends on the playground or did you eat a lot of your lunches alone?

"I didn’t see anything in your post that indicated what it was that made you believe the universe was only a few thousand years old."

I didn't see anything in your post that indicated that you had found anything to support your claim that the quotes of Einstein, Hoyle, Born and Ellis were taken out of context.

The year is 2008, and you believe the sun and the universe revolve around the earth, that the universe is only a few thousand years old, and that parroting the last post when you’re backed into a corner is a clever rhetorical device.

Grow up.

"The year is 2008, and you believe the sun and the universe revolve around the earth, that the universe is only a few thousand years old, and that parroting the last post when you’re backed into a corner is a clever rhetorical device. Grow up.

I have provided you with quotes from knowledgeable scientists showing the equivalence of the geokinetic and geocentric models from both mathematical CS and physical POVs. You claimed quote mining but utterly failed to provide any evidence to support your claim. You cannot distinguish between what science has demonstrated and what you have been told to believe.

That you think your responses are quite clever when you make them but parroting when I turn them back on you merely shows that you have no clue. If you think you have 'backed me into a corner', you are having delusions of grandeur.

Grow up.
