"You can't prove that we're not at the center of the universe..."

The point I was trying to make is that faith trumps logic and science. The fact that the Genesis was an oral tradition in an ancient Hebrew dialect that lacked the capacity to express the yet to be discovered scientific concepts to explain the creation of man in anything other than abracadabra terms is lost on bible literalists.

There is no center in an infinite universe.

I understand—I was being sarcastic. I have made similar points to yours in other threads that have, in fact, brought geocentrism adherents to the discussion!

Actually, Copernicus was a heliocentrist, in the sense that he thought that the sun was close to the center of the Universe. It certainly gives a whole new twist to the badly misnamed Copernican Principle.

Which of course automatically means that evolution is true. Love that reasoning. Is that the same one you use with "well if there are no transitional fossils to be found between these 2 species, then that is proof of a 'major adaption'"?
