"Yes, and last time you explained your “model” you threw planetary gravity in there, which is ludicrous considering the minuscule effect of Jupiter's gravity (something like one sixty millionth as much force as the Sun)."

All gravity is considered and that is not ludicrous. What is ludicrous is ignoring everything but the solar system.

"SO the entire universe conspires to pull the sun around the earth? What makes it go in 24 hour and 365 day cycles?"

Again, I don't think you are capable of understanding the concept. (esp since you already anthropomorphize the universe.)

"Einstein wasn't a geocentrist. You must be oh so much smarter than him to “correctly” interpret his theory to put the earth in the center where human ego demands that it be."

I never said he was a geocentrist. He interpreted his own theory for us, in the quote.

"All glory to God and the Heavens. Not man and earth."

"You have said it yourself." Matthew 26:64 NASB

What is ludicrous is discounting the gravitational effect of the Sun to propose that the Milky Way galaxy is in any way arranged around the Earth/Sun system or close enough to pull the Sun around the earth without having any pull at all on the supposedly motionless Earth.

Gravity is predictable and measurable according the a handy dandy equation. I am quite CAPABLE of doing math and seeing that all your planetary gravity amounts to not even one hundredth of one percent of the gravitational effect of the Sun on the Earth. But I am not capable, apparently, of living in a fantasy world where gravity pulls the Sun around the Earth while mysteriously leaving the Earth motionless.

I have always contended that if you scratch a Creationist you will find that they have equally invalid and preposterous beliefs. You are walking proof.

Geocentricism!!!!! What a laugh riot!!!!
