Dr. Jones,
Having been indoctrinated in Heliocentrism it takes effort to see things
differently. I was not, however, defending a rotating earth, but trying
to understand past history in the geostatic model. I spent some time
this morning just trying to refresh in my mind how the geostatic model
works. I am slow, but I think that I am beginning to see. I have on my
little note pad, among other things, diagrams of the different
inclinations of the ecliptic that would result in the seasons...
