Dunash--
I ahev posted this before, and evidently I must again. Here is exactly why geocentrism is wrong as you advocate it.
Geocentrism, as advocated by creationists or
other religiously fundamental people, is certainly wrong.
How, you may ask? What is going on is that you can do a change of reference
frame to a geocentric one, and by relativity the math must still work out.
I readily admit that. I do not understand all the math involved, but I
will take it for granted that it works out, and that physically,
geocentrism is just as valid as, say, heliocentrism.
But note
the words "just as valid". Also, by relativity, it cannot
be any *more* valid; geocentrism is just another change of frame
(although to a non-inertial one).
What geocentrists are saying is
that geocentrism is the one, true frame. Creationists must say that
because that is what is says in the bible.Now pay attention here,
because this is the important bit: to say geocentrism isn't wrong, you
have to accept the premise that any frame of reference is just as valid as
any other. But to claim that geocentrism is correct, you have to
ignore that very same premise.
Geocentrism as the One True Way is
therefore self-contradictory. It doesn't work.
