A Saudi cleric is garnering headlines for declaring that the sun revolves around the Earth, a clear rejection of all scientific evidence.

There you have it - we have been wrong all these years!

Kind of funny - these people can't figure out running water, yet they tell us the way things are and want to rule the world and if we disagree, regardless of the facts, we're liable to be beheaded.

And to think according to The Messiah, The Great Zero, we need to welcome muslime contributions to space exploration and the sciences. . .and towards that end NASA has a muslime out-reach effort.

Yup. . .they've added much. . .

All motion is relative. To state that the sun is the stationary point in your frame of reference around which the earth revolves, or that the earth is the stationary point around which the sun revolves are entirely equivalent.

Neither is true, and neither is false.

The only thing that is true is that the math that describes the motion of the earth, when you make the sun the stationary point of your frame of reference, is simpler than the math that describes the motion of the sun, when you make the earth the stationary point of your frame of reference.

Get out the popcorn! When the “settled science” people chime in on this, it could get interesting!

Another great scientific breakthrough by the developers of the Bomb Belt and the Blazing Inferno Cage.

There is no fixed points in space. The sun is the best frame of reference for Earth though.

Now if we can just convince the entire Islsmic world that everything is made of fire, water, air and earth and any belief or experimentation on "atoms" or "protons" is merely a Jewish trick and they must stop it immediately.

Clearly an error of judgment. The sun revolves around Obama’s butt.

In Ambassador Dore Gold’s book, “Hatred’s Kingdom,” about the Saudi Kingdom as dominated by fanatical Wahhabism, he tells of a professor at a Saudi “University” who taught his students that the Earth revolves around the sun is a western-Zionist plot.

He could just "MarieHarf" on his critics and just say he's too nuanced for them...

So this is the "religion" that we are constantly told they have known/taught "advanced" knowledge of math, science, et al for centuries...
