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"?

Your argument is a strawman, as are most evo arguments. The whole point is that no one feels the whiplash such high speeds would suggest! This shows evidence that there is more involved in the "simple" laws of motion and relativity than simplistic secular science can explain.

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

We're talking good, hard, common-sense science, here, not apologetics. If the evo can't stand the heat from the controversy, he should get out of the kitchen. There's plenty of failing evo journals and sites out there for the amusement of the libs, where posters don't have the courage to reexamine the "sacred" principles of "science"; where posters are glad to consider the "case closed", and continue in the vain of building on errors.

FreeRepublic has higher standards than that, and the liberal "science" of tenured socialist professors doesn't get a free pass here!

You're in error if you think that physics does not explain why feelings of acceleration don't occur on planets and moving bodies like they do in automobiles.

The astronauts are traveling right now at mach 25. They are not getting whiplash.

Do you seriously think the engineers at NASA don't know why?

Its obvious you've never even looked into the explanation.

Geocentrism is not good, hard, common-sense science. It hasn't been for several hundred years.

Geocentrism has nothing to do with evolution; further proof that you have no idea what you're talking about.

I've been here a long time, and I know for a fact that most Freepers are aware that the Earth revolves around the sun.

Uhhhh.....you do know that you don't "feel" "speed" don't you? This is rather simple physics...er.....secular science. You "feel" "acceleration"....once you're at "speed", you feel nothing. "Whiplash" comes from sudden CHANGE in speed, not constant speed.
