Here is the answer to your reply on Joels ...Hi Ed.<br /><br />Here is the answer to your reply on Joels blog (http://unsettledchristianity.com/2010/09/geocentrism-seriously-yup/#comment-438596)<br /><br />....that he chose not to publish:<br /><br />ED: "What drew you to defend geocentrism?"<br /><br />Hi Ed!<br /><br />Common sense!<br /><br />ED: "If you’ve studied the Bible you must know about the passages that assume a flat earth, a multi-tier flat cosmos"<br /><br />Neddless to say I disagree but I'm happy to just discuss the science of it if you like.<br /><br />ED: "Also, if our earth-sun system is so special why do other stars have matter and planets circling them?"<br /><br />Our star has matter and planets circling it too. Never denied it. It's just that the Earth doesnt, becuase its uniquely placed at the centre of the universe.<br /><br />ED: "When we look at other galaxies (there’s over 200 billion per latest estimates) we see them rotating around black holes in their center, not rotating around a planet inside them. And our earth-sun system is nowhere near the black hole in the center of our galaxy, we’re nearer the edges of one spiral arm. Logically speaking, based on the vast amount of data from galaxies that we can see, galaxies do not rotate around a single star or planet inside them, especially not around planets in their spiral arms."<br /><br />I've never seen a black hole, or anything rotating around them.<br /><br />If this is your best line of argument, that our little system has to be the same as others that we observe...then it is a very weak argument.<br /><br />ED: "Geocentrism also implies that every object lying further from the earth than Saturn’s or Jupiter’s moon is travelling faster than the speed of light, countless times faster in the case of the most distant galaxies, because the entire cosmos must circle the earth each 24 hour period. What kind of special properties and equations must one devise to accommodate those kinds of speeds with the actual fine line data of the speed of light from distant objects? Also, it makes mincemeat of the idea of the speed of light since everything, every particle, every wave, is already travelling faster than light simply by virtue of the fact that it lies a little further out in space than Saturn or Jupiter."<br /><br />Speed of light is not an issue. The aether is doing the moving and carrying the objects embedded in it, around the Earth.<br /><br />How fast are galaxies moving away from eachother in your system?<br /><br />ED "Astronomers can measure the angular movement of the Earth relative to distant quasars to an accuracy of about 20 milliarcseconds, IIRC. There is a continuous program that monitors the Earth’s minute changes to its rotation rate"<br /><br />They are measuring something but how do they know its the rotation of the Earth rather than the rotation of the aether?<br /><br />Presupposition?<br /><br />More on our geocentric universe here:<br /><br />http://christian-wilderness.forumvi.com/t39-stationary-earthStrangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836014673952717431noreply@blogger.com
