Dear Neville, >> You STILL haven't responded to my last post regarding your "proof" >> of the incorrectness of heliocentrism regarding the celestial >> poles. > note that this is because I have no intention of responding to > someone who is simultaneously posting ridicule on BadAstronomy about > this, or any related, subject. Since I rejoined this forum and apologized for my rather harsh judgement of you previously I have only posted, verbatim, an argument I posted on this forum and this: > He is quite polite and willing to discuss his ideas in sceintific > terms with his critics, and he is capable of understanding them too > which is a plus. > > What keeps drawing people's attention to him is that he keeps > publishing "scientific proofs" that the heliocentric model is wrong > and it can be quite good fun trying to find the misdirections. > > More importantly though, left unchallenged, other creationists cite > him as part of the scientific evidence against heliocentrism.

I don't think these comments are any harsher than some of yours. If something is mathematically flawed then opinion doesn't come in to it. I believe I have demonstrated that your proof that the heliocentric model is inconsistent is indead flawed. I find it rather too coincidental to be credible that you have made this decision based on what I have posted on BA at this point in the discussion. I simply do not believe that if you could refute my last post on that topic that you would hold back in doing so. Sincerely, Mike.
