My goodness, thanks for that link, allmendream! What a treasure trove of esteemed scientific authorities, declining to negate geocentricity, lol: Albert Einstein, Fred Hoyle, Max Born and George Ellis.

I'm late to the party, I know, but that's an awesome set of quotes. It goes to show that even "settled" and "simple" issues like geocentrism aren't really settled or simple at all. If the simple Darwinian/Copernican model of the solar system was indeed correct, it means the Earth would be moving at many hundreds, even thousands of miles per hour, and that these speeds, somehow combined with all the other celestial objects, somehow results in what we call "gravity".

Not only can physicists not explain why we don't feel the effects of these whiplash-speeds, it appears that their heliocentric model really doesn't make things any simpler than the geocentric model. Very interested indeed, yet these scientists pass themselves as the "Ultimate Authority" on the matter. (More and more people are starting to see through the sham called 'modern science', I see...)

The Earth is moving at thousands of miles per hour (67,000 to be exact), and your comment is the most ludicrous thing I've ever read.

You do know that the moon rotates around the Earth at around 2300 miles per hour, right? Did the astronauts on the moon get "whiplash"? And even in a geocentric universe, Mars has an orbital velocity of tens of thousands of miles per hour. Do you think NASA could have landed multiple probes and rovers there if they were so off in their calculations of orbital velocity? Did the Mars landers experience "whiplash"?

Only in creationist apologetics do we find this kind of absolute silliness.

Here are a couple of websites that you might find interesting:

Geocentrism Apropos

and

Geocentricity

Gerardus Bouw's site is more Biblically-based and the collection of Biblical Astronomer publications offers both biblical and scientific argument for geocentrism as well as other astronomical arguments for Biblical events.
