Just when virtually everybody had accepted the
Sun being the centre of our solar system (and the notion that the Earth must be
millions of years old), we’re watching the German Nazis rid the world of those ‘embarrassing’
Jews - the writers of the Bible that contradicts those ideas!
Meanwhile,
a German Jew of all people – the genius Albert Einstein (1879–1955) - comes up
with his profound theories of Relativity showing that all position and movement
in the universe is RELATIVE - so it is not actually wrong to say our solar system
is ‘geocentric’, after all!
(He also said: “Time is an illusion”…try that one
on a parking officer!)
Fortunately for scientists and educators with an atheistic agenda, us lesser mortals can’t get our heads around Albert Einstein’s astrophysics, so don’t hold your breath waiting for the textbooks to be changed any time soon.
Oh and by the way, guess who still use both heliocentric
AND geocentric phenomena?
Astronomers of course!
Astronomers of course!
- geocentric positioning is
used for observation, teaching, navigation, radio-telescopes and planetariums
- there is no observational
difference between the heliocentric and geocentric models – they both predict
identical planetary movements
- the sun is not actually centred
on the geometric ‘barycentre’ of any planet’s orbit and is not centred on the
centre of gravity of the solar system
…you still don’t get it??
We live in a vast
environment where position and movement is RELATIVE. Here on Earth, anytime we talk about
sunrise, time of day or night, sunset, planets rising and setting….we are using
the Earth as our reference - not the Sun. We are talking ‘geocentric’!
When the astronauts stood on the Moon, that was their reference – not the Earth or the Sun, which both seemed to rise and set while orbiting the Moon. Why not check with an Apollo astronaut who’s been there? For them the Moon was the centre of the solar system (even the universe) – they were ‘lunarcentric’ - until they decided Earth was a more attractive option and headed for home.
What about that Bible that is supposed to
contradict Science?.....not so stupid after all??

Is this a hot topic!
ReplyDeleteI simply suggested to some students that they think about whether the Earth could still be centre-stage only to be quickly interrupted by the atheist class teacher gloating over Copernicus having proved centuries ago that 'the Bible is wrong'.
(Psst - even my wife thinks I've lost the plot!)
