So you’re equating geocentrism with Darwinism?

No, not precisely, since 1)Geocentrism isn't so much based on the Bible as on the way things look to people on earth (Creationism, on the other hand, has no source but the Bible), and 2)I acknowledge that cosmology, the way the universe is actually structured, is within the purview of science (which cosmogony plainly is not).

However . . . I notice that there are still people who make the case for geocentrism and that a Catholic spokesman some time back (name and context not precisely recalled) refused to say that geocentrism is false when asked point blank several times.

It's mainly that I'd love to see scientism given a dose of humility. And also that Galileo, the great "martyr for the truth" (for people who reject all concept of meaning and therefore have no business honoring martyrs or truth at all) was in fact an actual heretic--not with regard to "heliocentrism," but with regard to something else (he had a philosophy of truth that logically extended would deny transubstantiation or something like that). If I find the article online I'll send you the URL.

You are right about Galileo.
