"We have to allow the heliocentrists
their massive distances..."
We should not unnecessarily concede a single point to
heliocentrists
because it could backfire later on.
I think they have the edge of the universe at 16 BILLION light
years away
now which is probably far enough to have people wondering how
those stars could get around nightly. And if people don't have
a problem with that
then the next calculation we will see is 160 TRILLION light
years.
We don't "HAVE TO" allow any exaggerations or falsehoods, and
shouldn't.
And since at the core this is a religious battle, pushing God
out 16 BILLION
light years, the further the better, effectively gets rid of
him in people's minds.
Not many people know or understand this: You cannot have
true/correct knowledge
without true/correct morality and you cannot have true/correct
morality
without true/correct religion. But they will not teach people
that in universities ( UNI = one way of thinking ).
