Allen, thats the first time I have read completely one of your posts, and not 
in blue ink either. Not only that, but the sentence construction was 
acceptable. See how short and meaningfull gets you further than long winded 
deliveries . dont get me wrong, I have always defended spelling errors and 
gramatical typo's in these sorts of dialogues..  But I always re-read and 
reconstruct, sometimes 3 times before posting. Except tonight  as i consume my 
5th pint, and I know how desperate you are for my reply.. LOL . ...  Now here 
is my analytical response in your blue.

  For sure when you are shown "correct thought" two things happen 
    1.. You understand it but you cant & don't know how to argue meaningfully 
against it 
  But you are being subjective. You assume "correct thought" to yourself, 
claiming infallibility. I did not ask you to tell me how I react to what you 
declare as correct. I asked you what is correct thought, and why you infallibly 
believe it to be correct. (No Holy Ghost authority here please)  Correct = 
infallibly true.

      2.    It has one of two effects ....... You see it, swallow your pride, 
accept it and progress OR you just get mad/ scoff at it and make excuses for 
why you don't have to accept it and you digress.

  This is emotional, has nothing to do with the question. If it is what you 
believe, then is this  what you do? If you do the former or the latter, either 
or both could still be incorrect.
   
  If you do not know what an electron is, then you cannot have correct thinking 
about why it is. And even if you do know what it is, you still cannot know why 
it is what it is, with certainty. Meaning correctly. 
   
  ..no one Philip will have to tell you when you experience that.and if you 
stay here long enough you will experience it too.J 

  I'm learning every day Allen, here and elsewhere. Outside of supernatural 
faith, and restricted to pure science which denies philosophy, I have long 
realised that , other than simple mathmatical equations, excluding the math 
add-ons of quantum and relativity physics, 
  NOTHING IS CERTAINLY CORRECT.

      Phil,
      You state "you are arguing this point outside of the rules of this 
debate" ..

      First: Regner asked for my 5 reasons that "support geocentrism" I did 
that, I gave him mine not yours, and certainly not his.......They are valid & 
"relevant" reasons/ facts that support geocentristic view point/ theory. I 
challenge you to demonstrate not merely assert otherwise. I will let him 
concede or dispute this issue further if he likes. However, i will make some 
further points on this issue, very painfully obvious to everyone here if this  
"sillyness" persits.

      Second:. You obviously missed my last post #1& 2 are facts and reasons 
and the are relevant for the "reasons' I gave. They are my reasons not yours! 
logic is intrinsic to correct thought not "how you see it". It is not based on 
ethnicity or race or region or socioeconomic background..what in the world are 
you protesting?.... The fact and as long as you address this issue this way is 
the very reason you will never be abel to prove or disprove anything.

        Allen what might appear as logic or logical to you, does not appear to

        In a game of musical chairs, it is logical to me that the chairs do not 
move and that it is the people who move around the circle.   

        Modernists in an attempt to explain holes flowing in a semiconductor, 
twist logic, (my logic)  to infer that in the game of musical chairs, it is the 
empty chair that moves around the circle.  

        So your argument  to be based upon logic or observation, is as useless 
as Bernies, when in desperation concerning the ship flowing in a current he 
came back with I would know the ship was moving by the wind blowing in my

        Goodness Gracious me......

        Philip. 
        Allen you are argueing this point outside of the rules of this 
debate...  Let Regner take those points proffered, and when he finalises them, 
we can begin the debate on all points..  When you ramble on with so many words, 
none will read it..  surely you know the value of concise short reasoning, just 
one point at a time.. But who am I to talk...  but I do try..  

        Please.    plm

          Regner,

          Good, I think we might be able to begin to get somewhere now...
          You stated: You also know that I have written so many times before, 
that I will collate
          all the sets of 5 points that you guys submit, and then I'll address 
the 5
          top-scorers, one by one. I repeat, I have not begun to address the 
title
          of this thread "Is geocentrism supported by facts?" - I'll do that 
when you
          have submitted your points, which seems to be more complicated than I 
had
          thought.

          1. Ok good, we can wait for that. However, you are still missing the 
most fundamental reason that I support geocnetrism. The most fundamental reason 
is that there is only one logical path of deduction that can be demonstrated. 
#5 is about the logic itslef used to reach the conclusion. That is what point 
#5 states. That is the most fundamental reason individual data sets 
(observations and experience) may led us to one direction or the other but in 
and of themselves they are meaningless without some logical path to incorporate 
them in. You see, I argue LOGIC OBSERVATION & EXPERIENCE (LO&E) not just 
Observation and Experience alone. The most fundamental reason for geocentrism 
is that Geocentrisim is a logical deduction where A-centrism is not a logical 
deduction...point #5 makes that point, drives it home and leaves no 
ambiguity..... If you don't like # 5 that is your problem, but to state "Your 
point 5 is a summary if the consequences if 2-4 are true, which meansit is not 
a point in itself. Your point 1 is irrelevant here, since it is not in support 
of a geocentric Universe." On the contrary, you can't validate any conclusion 
based on facts by ignoring the logic employed to evaluate those facts...!? I 
don't accept geocentricity because of 1,2,3or 4 as individual facts alone, I 
accept geocentric it because of what #5 demonstrates (LOGIC properly applied to 
a set of facts) based on those individual facts analyzed together in logic. It 
is not just a summary, it is the logical path that brings us to geocentricity 
and eliminates A-centricity. I laid out in a simplistic outline of a logical 
proof for geocenticity. Again you miss it...You asked for " 5 most fundamental 
reasons that your theory is correct. "....A logical conclusion based on data 
(individual facts/ evidence; points 1,2,3&4) is the single best reason in the 
world to support any given position.? ( not just O&E but LO&E) It is that proof 
that I base and argue Geocentricity on. Those 5 points point to and demonstrate 
only one logical path (the Geocentric conclusion)....# 5 is not irrelevant, it 
is part of the logical path of deduction that brings us to whatever conclusion 
we arrive at, in terms of earths motion or not. It is this path the A-centric v 
Geocentric logical path that is in question and in fact the heart of this very 
discussion... If you wish to ignore point #5 that is your problem. I say your 
problem because to ignore the logical path where by one reaches their 
conclusion(s), based on a set of data, is not a very "scientific" way of 
evaluating anything?( not just O&E but LO&E!) If you wish to ignore the logic 
of the paths of how we all reached our various conclusions, not just the 
individual facts that those paths and conclusions are built upon, then there is 
absolutely no point to this discussion in the first place. You can just make 
any list of 1,2,3,4,5 claim you are right,( the reasons don't even have to have 
any relevance to any conclusion or logical path, because we have decided to 
ignore that little tid-bit) I can do the same and claim i am right, and then we 
can all go home..? 

          2.You stated here.........." You cite me as saying ``"I can't figure 
out" [sic]thoes 5 points...''
          which is disingenuous as I actually wrote: "I can't figure out which 
words
          make up a sentence"..You still miss the point..if you cant figure out 
which words make up a sentence then how in the world did you "deduce" my 
conclusions & or my mind set? Your either mistaken in your conclusion about me 
when you said that "You have a closed mind" or you were exaggerating you 
"inability" to make out my sentences.

          In my second post to you, I did not write anything different in those 
5 points, I only quoted excepts of myself ? If you could make out "the essance 
"of what I said,( you did, otherwise, you could not have "deduced" my mind set 
based on my how i view motion. How were you ever able to deduce anything about 
my comments on motion if you did not figure out the the sentences even as poor 
as  the sentence strutcure may have been)  then what was the relevance of your 
point#1 to begin with? That I display poor penmanship at times?.....ok...?  
......as for ."I could still do with a lot less of your unsubstantiated 
non-sense about me.". .............." unsubstantiated"???....... I was quoting 
your own comments, not mine?.... I was not disingenuous, I'm suggesting you 
were.

            Allen Daves,

            Thank you for your reply.
            This was a lot more coherent, e.g., I could recognize sentence 
structure.
            I'll accept your points
            2. No attempts to measure a motion of the Earth has succeeded
            3. Observed distributions and redial velocities (red-shifts) of 
astronomical
            objects are centered on the Earth
            4. No observed yearly motion of stars around ecliptic N/S-poles.
            Please correct any misinterpretation I might have made.
            Your point 5 is a summary if the consequences if 2-4 are true, 
which means
            it is not a point in itself. Your point 1 is irrelevant here, since 
it
            is not in support of a geocentric Universe.
            You still don't read what I actually write. The two points that 
didn't
            do your case any good, were MY two points: 1) your rambling, 2) 
your closed
            mind. You cite me as saying ``"I can't figure out" [sic]thoes 5 
points...''
            which is disingenuous as I actually wrote: "I can't figure out
