Dear Cheryl,
I wrote my other posting to you before I saw this one. It just goes to show
that there are many ways of finding out about God. Presumably you belong to
some kind of Christian church? How do they respond to your interest in
things of creationism and geocentrism?

Hall's website.  I read it and said, yep, he's probably right.  I went to
NASA's websites looking for pics of the earth turning, figuring logically
that they would be the only ones with any proof one way or the other.  I saw
no pics of the earth turning except for one short little "earth rotation
movie" supposedly taken from Galileo.  It did not even claim to be a
timelapse.  In fact, there was no information about how this movie was
created at all.  My 16-year old who is into graphic arts said it looked like
a simulation to her.  Furthermore, I know that Galileo was supposed to have
looped around the earth.

But I have a woman's genius brain when it comes to knowing human nature and
logic.  And I just KNOW that if NASA had proof of the Copernican theory that
it would be PLASTERED all over everywhere -- starting in the preschool texts
and going on up through the graduate texts.  They would be using actual
photos to demonstrate the rotation of the earth (not to mention the
so-called orbit of the earth around the sun).  These movies and photos would
be labeled as such.  There would be quotes from the astronauts, things like,
"I saw the earth in its half-phase, saw the continents slowly disappearing
behind the shadow," things like that.  Many of them have written books, and
one of them, Cernan, spent 72 hous supposedly on the moon.  Who could resist
the temptation to be able to say, "You guys have only imagined the earth
turning.  I h

> Well, there are no such quotes from the astaronauts.  There are also no
pictures, except the hokey ones made by Calvin Harrison, the Mormon space
junkie that NASA lets do all their pics on their website.  Calvin is not a
scientist, his hobby (admitted) is graphic and computer arts, and as a
Mormon his religion already teaches him that there are countless planets
"out there" populated with live, most of it more intelligent than ours.  As
a Mormon, he expects to have his own planet to populate someday when he
reaches godhood as he supposes.  My sister is a Mormon, and believe me she
watches Star Trek as though these programs were documentaries, not fairy
tales.
