A few posts ago you said "this was just too good to let pass" and yet while the point I'm making and my question to Suzianne is crystal clear and on-topic, what you are on about is not clear at all. It was Suzianne who called people in the science debate here "pinheads" not me. Thread 162652.
All right! Okay! Stop yelling at me! I'll upgrade that to "pinhead extraordinaire".
If I grant you a title any higher than that I can expect to hear from the Brotherhood of Pinheads Union... and they are no less painful to listen to than you are.

But that's my point here, Ron.
It's NOT the Bible you are "believing". What you are believing is your own, weird interpretation of the Bible. The Bible never says the earth is the physical center of the universe, just like it never says the earth is only 6,000 years old. You are "believing" your own bizarre interpretation of what the Bible does say.
What does 1 Chronicles 16:30 mean to you?

Originally posted by SuzianneI am not really into astronomy, so what you say may be true, but I don't really know. Do you have any references for this?
Heliocentrism is the only explanation of why some planets appear to have retrograde motion. If geocentrism was true, no planet would ever exhibit retrograde motion. If Mercury and Venus (the only two planets closer to the sun) were orbiting earth, their orbits would take them completely around the earth, something that is not observed.
Is that good enough for you?
Geeeeez, if only everything was that easy.

Geocentrism : Galileo was Wrong
Published on Sep 29, 2014
Galileo Was Wrong is a detailed and comprehensive treatise that demonstrates from the scientific evidence that heliocentrism (the concept that the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the su ...[text shortened]... x Tegmark, Julian Barbour, and George F. R. Ellis

He started off saying the earths axis couldn't always be pointing to Polaris. I don't know why not, because the enormous distance from earth to Polaris would make any minor change in position virtually impossible to detect. But then he went on to prove his idea of how the axis couldn't always point to Polaris by showing how distant objects (when riding in a car) appear to change position much slower than closer objects... ? I don't get it. If something as far away as Polaris can appear to remain in the same fixed position, then why demonstrate how distant objects are able to (relatively) remain in more of a fixed position compared to closer objects?
I'll have to listen to what he was saying about the 23.5 degree tilt again, because I'm still not sure what he was saying about that...

Who was trolling? You? I'm just responding to what you said. This is exactly what you said in reply to the OP on the "Is the science/theism dichotomy necessary?" thread:

Originally posted by lemon limeIt is rather long and drwan out. I can't really say much about the astronomy aspect of the controversy, but practically, I don't see why the earth has to be spinning like a top. It certainly doesn't look or feel like it is and there appears to be no solid evidence that I understand that proves it.

Originally posted by FMFI would not eliminate myself as one of her pinheads on one side nor you on the otherside of the divide. So perhaps, we should just let it go at that. 😏

Predictable as always.
