A few random observations:

1. While a geocentric coordinate system is in theory just as good as any other, in practice it is only useful for a restricted set of problems. As far as the geocentric model representing a *physical* reality, i.e., that the Earth is literally the center of the Universe, that's quite wrong. Claiming that relativity supports that viewpoint is well, Bad Physics.

2. Curt, please don't go telling me I seek to deny God because I look at what His handiwork tells us. The various versions of the Good Book came to us through the hands of men, but the Universe is, how should we say, Factory-Direct.

3. Stellar evolution takes a very long time, according to the theory. You cannot legitimately claim the theory is flawed because it doesn't produce transitions observable in a short time. That doesn't make sense.

4. Science is a useful tool for providing natural explanations for the natural world. If you wish to believe certain supernatural explanations for the natural world due to your interpretation of the Bible, fine. I will stand up for your right to do so. But you are attempting to hammer a scientific explanation to fit a supernatural one, and brother... it ain't pretty [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

I do, however, appreciate your urge to spice up the forum. You seem to have accomplished your mission! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
