The only difference is the "origin" of the motion not the relative speeds or 
directions. In geocentric mechanics all movement is by the sun and moon. In 
a-centric is due to the combination of the moons w-e orbit earth?s spin Counter 
clockwise spin and earth/ moon counter clockwise orbit around the sun. It is 
this "observational equivalence" that has allowed the A-centrist to get away 
with it. Again the only difference is the origin of the movement not the 
relative speeds or positions.

Allen, I may not entirely understand what you are saying.  The grammar in your 
third sentence above is a bit vague.  However, if you are saying that the 
acentric explanation for the eastward shadow movement involves a 2300 mph 
counterclockwise tangential speed of the moon overcoming a 1000 mph 
counterclockwise rotation speed of the earth, then you are absolutely mistaken. 
 See the link I gave you in my last post.  

The acentric explanation involves only the tangential motion of the moon versus 
the still sun.  The geocentric explanation involves...well, no one knows what 
that involves exactly, because we don't have an explanation as of yet.
