Are you a Creationist?

ya, i'm familiar with this; quite interesting to me that in this day and age, it cannot be disproven! weird, huh? I'm not sure what the point would be though; do you suspect some spiritual conspiracy involved with heliocentrism?

It is a 'force' that seems to operate cross infinite distance instantaneously, something that no branch of physics has properly and satisfactorily explained.



Not sure what you are saying? There was evening and morning for several days prior to the creation of the sun. That's Bible. Now, that certainly contradicts modern secular scientists' understanding of cosmology. To them, such a thing is absurd. But, 'the fool hath said in his heart there is no God' so what does that tell ya?

#1 Objects in orbit do not fall to earth unless some outside force acts upon them.
#2 You never answered my question about the space station and whether the earth orbits it or it the earth?
#3 You cant have evening and morning without light. We don't have that kind of light without the sun. Unless there are a lot more undocumented miracles in the creation story that happened then it's account is literally wrong.

1. Agreed. And we call that force gravity. Thus endeth the lesson.

2. The earth doesn't orbit anything. The existence of something orbiting the earth doesn't prove the earth is orbiting something else. That's a non sequitur.

3. If you believe Genesis postulates a lie, then you have a bigger problem than geocentricism. By the way, tell number three to underground marijuana "gardeners" and they will laugh at you. And it won't be because they are high, either.

You don't even comprehend what it means to orbit...

Orbit is falling. Yet the earths curvature along with an objects perpendicular motion sets the stage for objects to orbit forever because of gravity and never to fall to the earths surface

Further, I want you to prove that the space station orbits earth and not the other way around. Can u do that

The reason I ask is because your belief that it cannot be proven that the earth orbits the sun would seem to force one to conclude that it cannot be proven that the space station orbits earth. After all there should be no difference between the space station orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun if that's the case.

If you believe the space station orbits earth then you believe it can be proven that one objects orbits the other. If that's the case all we need to do is examine your methodology and apply it to the earth and sun question.

Going back to the case of if you believe it cannot be proven that the space station orbits the earth then I believe your position is already defeated because it's apparent for a number of reasons that the space station does in fact orbit earth.
