Intelligent Design For Dummies – Part 4. Geocentricity

Geocentricity is the time-tested theory, formulated by renowned scientists like Aristotle, Ptolemy and, ofcourse, The Holy Bible, that all objects in the Universe revolve around a central point at the Earth's core. The diagram below explains the order of all celestial bodies. Earth, the largest object in the universe is perfectly stationary, while the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun and Mars each rotate on their own respective axes as they revolve around the earth.

Geocentricity

The scientific notion that the Earth is motionless, and that the sun orbits around the Earth, stood unchallenged since prehistoric times. Until a Polish douchebag, named Nicolaus Copernicus, got so stoned that everything started to go round and round.

“Whoaaaaaa!! The earth is spinnin’ and spinnin’ and….”, exulted a completely stoned Copernicus.

Confused Copernicus

But the only thing that is true is Geocentricity.. Why??

Because, ofcourse, the Bible says so (and, ofcourse, Bible is the oldest physics textbook of the world)…

God created the stationary world on the 1st day and it was not until the 4th day that the sun and moon were created…

"He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).

"The Lord (Jesus) reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished (stabilized), that it cannot be moved" (Psalm 93:1).

"Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved" (I Chronicles16:30)

“The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.” (Ecclesiastes 1:5)

Modern scientists, however, prefer the absurd Copernican theory that the Earth rotates around the Sun (Heliocentricity). Though this theory is funny to think about, it has a lot of obvious flaws….

1) The planet Earth is supposed to be a large, spherical shaped ball of rock flying through space at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. But how could the Earth continue to move at the same speed for as long a time as the "round Earthers" say that it has existed for; namely, several billion years. If outer space were a vacuum, then there would be no problem. But space is not a vacuum, it is instead filled with ether (according to Biblical physics!!). The earth would have to have been pushing its way through the ether for all those billions of years. Shouldn't it have slowed somewhere along the line??

2) The earth is orbiting the sun at a radius of around five-hundred million kilometers. Were this the case, the Earth would be an accelerated object in circular motion around its sun. And the Earth accelerating in circular motion would behave no differently than would a car taking a corner: loose objects (humans and animals would act like loose change or a cup of coffee on the dashboard) would slide around, or be thrown off completely. There would be an apparent centrifugal force on everything. During the day, when things would be facing the sun and therefore on the inside of the "orbit", buildings would be crushed and humans beings squashed like grasshoppers in a centrifuge. And at night, when everything would be at the outside, trees and buildings would be ripped from the ground and flung into outer space, and humans wouldn't stand a chance.

3) The equatorial speed of the Earth is about 465 m/s; which is faster than the speed of sound (340 m/s). So someone standing east of you would never be able to hear you!!

4) A merry-go-round moves at about 10 mph and you get dizzy; the Earth supposedly moves at more than 1000 mph and you don't even notice this??

5) If the Earth were spinning, all the continents would move toward the equator.

6) The Earth doesn't have centrifugal force. Gravity is the same all over the Earth because the Earth doesn’t move. If it did go around the sun, the centrifugal force would make objects weigh TWICE less on Equator than in E.g. Vancouver, Canada.

7) On time-delayed pictures of stars, the Polaris star almost doesn’t move. The only way it can work is if both the Earth and Polaris don’t move. The Earth is therefore the centre of the universe and Polaris is its end. And everything except the Polaris goes around the earth.

8) What about satellites? Satellites go around the Earth because the space around revolves, thus pulling the satellites along with it. You can even put coca cola can and make it a satellite!!

9) Earth is spinning around thousands of miles a second, so when we jump, even if it is for a half a second, shouldn't we land miles away? (though we would probably crash into a building or something.)

Confused??

Me too!! These days you just don’t know what to believe and what not to..

We live in really confusing times. Things used to make perfect sense in the good old days when the earth was flat, the sun revolved around the earth and God spoke from the top of a mountain and death alone was certain. Then in the last couple of thousand years, we changed our tack. Suddenly, we were all sinful, flawed and fallen beings. A single male sacrifice on a cross solved that problem for a while, but then came Galileo, Copernicus, Newton and ... Darwin!!
