There are no fixed points in reality.
The Earth rotates, which in turn orbits the sun, which in turn orbits the galaxy center, ect....
Due to our movement that "holy spot" moved away from us at the rate of a light year every 1500 years or so.
Any supreme being who creates holy spots shouldn't have to follow us about readjusting his spot to account for our movement.....
Im not sure where u got that definition of a holy place but as far as i understand it has nothing to do with being in the center of the universe...
He means that Mecca (for example) is constantly changing its location. Thus, the idea of a 'fixed' place would require either that everything moves except us or that nothing in the universe ever moves.
But, as had been said, a 'holy' place has much more to do with culture and history than it does with geography and topology.
