oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Header -- I've tried to send this to geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx four times. Now trying again. Paul D oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo From: Paul Deema <paul_deema@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: Geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, 20 December, 2007 1:22:01 PM Subject: Re: Integrity in science Allen D I was wondering if you were well but this post indicates that you are. Can I then expect a response soon on the pre and post loss_of_primary sidereal period of the Moon in another thread? I can always tell when you see yourself as not standing on firm ground.There is the urgent outpouring of words showing elevated lack of organisation of course, but more telling is the phraseology -- circular fallacies; without assuming it is true first; neither does even logic support; was made in the first place; I don’t have to show -- etc. And of course you laugh a lot more -- LOL = 7 in this post. I'll bet you don't play poker seriously. I've inserted a few comments in this <colour> Paul D PS Would you, as a favour to us all, discipline your editor into retaining apostrophies and not substituting "’"? ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo "It's interesting how the proponents of all the odd ball theories seem to think it is just them against orthodoxy." Paul, you talk as is HC was a proven fact <Oh? Where have I said that?> or that you had any facts external of just your faith <Now here I have commented. Once I became aware of the narrow value that you et al place on 'faith', I have been careful to avoid use of this word and I have explained several times why I follow this course.> in others interpretations of them that HC were true!?....LOL...... You can’t prove HC theory neither can Regner! If he could he would be more famous the Einstein or Hawking himself. ..In fact for every HC piece of evidence, that same "evidence" shows GC at face value. <I can't help wondering then, why you didn't list just five of them when asked a long time ago.> And as of yet you nor anyone else has given us a reason to interpret it other then "what you see is what you get", except that it could and it is more "modest".....LOL...That is objective criteria!!!?? LOL...your & Regner’s "modesty" <Oh? Where have I said that?> is a feeling not a scientific observation, certainly not objective data!..Give me break!.. Regner may not like it but at the end of the day "modesty" is the criteria that the most knowledgeable proponents of HC admit to for the only "proof" (correct interpretation of data) of HC.!?...and my theory (GC) it is NOT A THEORY just takes the facts as is...but you call a odd ball by interpreting facts with nothing more then just your imaginations and "modesty"!?.....LOL...You need to take a hard look at your self. <I do that each day while shaving. It is an efficient use of time.> You dont make any sense and neither do any of your arguments. <I understand your bias.> HC does not have the stamp of observation anywhere on it without reinterpreting observations <It is not necessary to reinterpret observations in order to determine the Moon's sidereal period -- WYSIWYG!> with imaginations and "modesty"? .....There is less actual evidence for HC then for GC. <Oh? One wonders why then that the list of five arguments in support of geocentrism from each supporter is even now unfilled.> There is no Evidence for HC whatsoever without first evoking a circular fallacies about how you think the kinematics of the universe work. <F = ma and all that follows convince me.> I find Regner’s comments about "humbleness" totaly humorous. "* Calling humbleness apologetic is pretty weird.> > * On the other hand, it is probably a good idea for them to discredit> > humbleness, since insisting that we humans are the whole reason for> > this Universe, is decidedly not humble." How does he define modesty and what objective criterial does he and Hawking use to make that opinion? Regner is right about one thing though, modesty is not apologetic but immodesty is, HC is not based on modesty it is based on getting rid of God...How does a non centered universe more modest!? Regner gos on to say "But that is philosophy - let's get back to science, shall we?" I say great! Regner you and Paul and everyone else in the HC camp stop supporting the use of your philosophical humbleness <see above> as an objective justification for why and how your interpretations of the facts are more objective then just taking them all at face value. but you cant do that if you did you would have no observation or experience to support your case. On the other hand if you do not stop doing that then it is you not GC folk who are using Philosophy and religion! This is particularly true when the only consistency in all of the is observations and experiments at face value all show the earth at the center motionless .....! This cannot be said of all the excuse for why the earth is not the center!?. ..except ......"it is more modest"....LOL In fact it is not modest at all! The whole purpose was and is not science or based on objective data in observation or experience at all, but rather to explain everything naturally absent of God..<What is/are your source(s) for this statement? Not the observations which give rise to your presumption but knowledge of this purpose.>...Well if there is a God, I don’t see how he would see it as Modest at all...LOL..:-D. Since we have not been able to prove God does not exist to claim modesty as the champion of your cause is not only foolish, but quite arrogant. ( the exact opposite of Humbleness)..LOL..who you trying to kidd..yourself?...I dont buy it, and neither does even logic support your assertion!? That is why the politics is not just important but everyt;hing when it comes to data that can have multiple interpritations. To say that is it not is a fairytale dreamland. To understand how a conclusion was reached that could have multiple possibilities/ interpretations you must understand what the criteria for the decision was made in the first place particularly when you took a conclusion that demands a model that is other then what you see or can prove!?. All is not just facts, if it were then you would have to accept a GC universe, it is the only conclusion you can draw from any and all available facts period. I don’t have to show any other facts then the ones HC purports to be HC proof, because they don’t even remotely show HC without assuming it is true first. ....................

It seems to be the first shot fired by those who can't get their views accepted by honest workers in the fields in question. But worse, there is the flood of words which seem designed to attempt to smother the discoveries of the past 500(?) years. These discoveries are open to disproof by any who can demonstrate falsity. No one does, which leads to the possibility that no one can -- not because of ineptitude but because the disproof does not exist. If, instead of the flood of words, we were to be treated to a series of simple, testable geocentric hypotheses equivalent to F = ma and those which flow from it, which lead to the inescapable conclusion that the Sun with all its mass circles the tiny Earth then you'd have a prayer. It would also help your case if you could explain how the enormous body of interlocking and mutually supporting knowledge of the physical functioning of the Solar System can be repeatedly demonstrated and yet be false. However, I think the thing which bothers me most is resorting to Maxwell and quasars and alleged false proofs of relativity. This is taking a steam hammer to crack an egg. If the Sun circles the Earth you should be able to show it within the sphere encompassing the Solar System. My guess is that if the universe ended at the Oort Cloud, eff would still equal em-ae and the Earth would still circle the Sun. I have two beautiful examples of how science triumphs. The first concerns Gregor J Mendel who first worked out the principles of inheritance (not money but genes). He was an Augustinian priest (a cloistered order I think - in any event he worked in isolation) who when he died, had his papers burned by his abbot because the abbot feared that this "knowledge", if widely available, would be a threat to the church. Today his work is recognised and respected because it has utility, ie -- it works. The other is the disastrous effect of doctrinal domination of science, in this case the Soviet Union and its "Soviet theory of Genetics" (as though ideology could influence truth, ie -- what is). The man the Soviets chose to back was named Lysenko. After 50 years(?) of failure to demonstrate the truth of his claims, with the Soviet Union falling further and further behind in this matter and the matters upon which this false view of genetics bore, they had to reverse their position. His theory did not have utility, it didn't work. The point I'm making is that science is about discovery -- it is not about invention. If you seek to disseminate the theory that in a gravity field the pan with 900g in it will sink and the pan with 1000 g in it will rise, you will forever be shown to be wrong. Paul D PS Almost missed this one. From your post below - '...then the science establishment has no right to teach that heliocentrism is correct, much less been scientifically proven. Hence we should have a voice in academia today.' Would you also give an equal voice to a flat Earth on four elephant's backs on a turtle's back in a really big puddle? The concave Earth? A flat circular Earth in the middle of a Tychonian system with the South Pole a really high wall of ice at the edge? And all the other alternatives? I'm sure the proponents of these alternative systems have explanations which they regard as at least as valid as geocentrism and that if you get representation then so should they. It's interesting how the proponents of all the odd ball theories seem to think it is just them against orthodoxy. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
