Steven -- Unless as you say the earth drags all the stars with it when it makes its orbit around the sun, the atheist/helios have no explanation for why the poles remain fixed. That is obvious even to me who avoids math because it gives me a headache. This proof is easy to understand. Obviously the poles would be all over the place, especially the south pole. The heliocentric model makes as much sense as lizards' scales turning into feathers over billions of years, of their front legs turning into wings and their back legs growing long and skinny and turning into the stick-legs of a bird, of their teeth nubbing back into their skull, and their noses turning into beaks -- and LEAVING ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE, no fossils anywhere. I would be interested to know what the atheists have to say about this, how they would explain the poles not going nuts. Are there any animated models that show what things would or could look like with a nonspinning, geocentric earth regarding the orbits of the sun, moon, earth and planets? In your opinion what kind of things, if any, would a space probe be able to document regarding this, to me, huge difference? I'm still wondering why NASA can't document the Copernican hypothesis they have embraced with timelapse pictures to prove something some of us at least down here on earth would be mighty interested in finding out. If nothing else, if they could document that the earth is turning. In your opinion is this even theoretically possible? I still don't see why they couldn't.

Instead of the sun orbiting the Earth once a year the Earth orbits the sun once a year. This is dynamical equivalence, but it is not biblical for the Bible stresses that the Earth cannot be moved, and therefore does not rotate. > > > > We then derive the conclusion that the universe is both geocentric and geostatic, a comparison is now necessary between the aforementioned models and the new geostatic and geocentric model. > > > > > The World completes one revolution on its axis once every 23 hours 56 minutes, rotating west to east, which is why the stars are seen to rise in the east and set in the west in the same time. > > > > > WRONG > > > > The World stands stationary at the centre of the universe, no motion is attributed to the world. > > > > > The sun orbits the Earth once every 365.25 days which explains the transit of the sun through the ecliptic (the background of stars). > > > > > WRONG > > The sun orbits the Earth once every twenty four hours, which explains the days. > > > > > The moon takes about 28 days to orbit the Earth travelling west to east, which is about 50.5 minutes slower than the world rotates in the same direction and therefore explains why the moon can be seen to rise in the east and set in the west. > > > > > WRONG > > The moon takes about 24 hours 50.5 minutes to orbit the Earth travelling east to west which is the opposite direction. > > > > > The stars do not move. > > > > > > WRONG > > The stars orbit the World once every 23 hours 56 minutes east to west. > > > > We can conclude that this is not dynamical equivalence. If then a geostatic and geocentric model is physically different from a heliocentric or geocentric model where the world does rotate, we should be able to predict discrepancies or differences between the two to prove once and for all which model is true. > > > > This has been done and one such example is at: > > > > www.midclyth.supanet.com/page32.htm > > I urge you all to study the celestial poles argument and tell me what you think. > > > > Yours in Christ, > > > > Steven Jones. > > > > --------------------------------- > ALL-NEW Yahoo!
