New to me but looks interesting. Any arguments for or, against?

'Geocentric Earth' means that Earth is at the centre of the Earth.  Sure that's what you're getting at?

I prefer an egocentric earth.

Geocentric Earth means that the Earth is the center of the entire universe. And that the Earth does not travel through space and does not spin. Some time ago, some men shot a beam of light into space and it returned to the same point it was shot from. Meaning, that the Earth is fixed in space and does not spin.


Geocentric means that the moon orbits the sun and not the Earth. The sun, with the moon in tow, orbits the earth and not visa versa. Geocentric means that the Earth itself, is the center of the entire universe.


I've looked at geocentric models and they make sense. But, I'm just a stupid surfer and want to hear from you.

That would sum it up.  Took scientists forever to overcome the bullshit that earth was the center of the solar system. 

The narcissism of religion is a lot like looking at my old house torn down and the yard decimated by the construction, and me, in reality still waiting for the grass to grow back, which it will. I do hesitate looking at the full green yards of my neighbors. They claim a Green Goblin God or Lucky Charms God, and I sit and look at my 19 hole sand trap land plot where my new house is, and all I can think is "why all the drama and time?"

God does not exist outside our species own imagination.

No, that isn't what 'Geocentric Earth' means.  The term you're looking for is 'geocentrism'.  If geocentrism was true, Venus would not show phases.  It does, so it isn't.  This has been settled since the 17th century.

Yeaaaaaah, I'm gonna go right ahead and ask for a source on that information matey.

Wouldn't it be better if we revolved around Uranus?

(sorry)

Yeah, so? 186,000 miles a second, remember.  But tell us, what made the beam return? A yearning for the old sod?

It was reflected directly back by The All Seeing Eye Of God, who dwelleth in Geocentric Orbit. Yeah, I've some time on my hands.
