Geocentrism

[RickShafer]

Just do this equation for me:
(2xy)+8(yz)=
y=4
z=7

(I just need to know if you are capable of 'higher' thought)

I'm sorry, I made a mistake.
- Do you think the sun revolves around the earth 365 times a year!? - (Actually 365 and 1/4 times)
- - That leap year is troublesome. it would be hard to judge the seasons if the body which gives all the energy to the other body had a leap year, I guess the days would eventually turn into nights.
- - - So a day would be 24 hours the first year, 30 the next, 36 the next, and 42 the next until eventually by the fourth year it would return to the 24 hour cycle......but then we'd gain a day.

A year is a measure of the time it takes the sun to complete it's spiral from the tropic of Capricorn to the tropic of Cancer, and back to the tropic of Capricorn again. If this period is indeed approximately 365.25 days, which we are told it is, then yes, the seasons would eventually need readjusting (hence a February 29th every 4 years). I don't see how this would cause days to turn into nights, as the sun is still completing an orbit every 24 hours.

So you claim a larger body orbits a smaller celestial body.
- Never happened, never will - (it violates at least two of Newton's Laws)

As for the sun....notice how it gets lower during winter?
Do you think the sun has a one year revolution around the earth in which it gradually lowers during fall and winter and changes to a much higher orbit in spring and summer?
C'mon!

The sun appears lower during the Winter because it is further away - remember, in Winter, it is closer to the opposite tropic. In Summer, the converse effect because it is closer to the tropic, so appears higher.

Larger bodies don't revolve around smaller ones. - That's not how gravity works.

I'm not sure gravity applies to the sun, but even if it does, I believe the sun is smaller than the Earth.

Too stupid to consider,

If you don't think you have the intelligence to consider this, I'm not forcing you to consider it.

- (Maybe you are NSA)

If I were NSA, do you think I'd be wearing the hat?

I don't necessarily care about Newton's Laws, as they may not apply to the sun. However, I believe the sun is smaller than the Earth.

Alright.
Whatever you say.
- I will say this, you are a good sport.

(2 x y)+8(yz)= 216
if y is 4
and Z is 7

I'm really not understanding what this has to do with Earth being stationary. But it's cheating to keep changing the equation. In this case, x would be equal to -1.

'x' is the symbol for multiplication.
Also, if the earth was the center of the universe, does it rotate?
- Do you claim the earth doesn't rotate?

The Earth does not rotate. Although, I see, you probably won't be able to view my reply.

The conspiracy is greater than you can imagine.

A moment of your time?

Book of Jasher, Chapter 88

And when they were smiting, the day was declining toward evening, and Joshua said in the sight of all the people, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou moon in the valley of Ajalon, until the nation shall have revenged itself upon its enemies. And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Joshua, and the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and it stood still six and thirty moments, and the moon also stood still and hastened not to go down a whole day. And there was no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened to the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.


The Real Book of Jasher?

The first step in dealing with the question of authenticity is to simply read the book with an open mind. One cannot effectively investigate the matter unless he is familiar with it. After all, according to Solomon, "He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him". (Proverbs 18:13). The reader will find that it reads very much like the Bible, except that many passages are replete with details that are not recorded in the Bible.

Re: A moment of your time?

Any thoughts on China's attempt to land a probe on the moon?

I don't think a geocentric universe necessarily rules out the possibility of a moon landing, but my own opinion is that its just as impossible as landing a probe on the sun - both are lights. I'm fairly sure any moon landing will be used to support the myth that the Earth orbits the sun.

I reckon NASA and their puppeteers are realising far too many people are onto their conspiracy, so they have to foist another hoax to keep the lie alive. Who better to perpetuate the lie than China, one of America's purported enemies?

If China tells the truth about the American moon landing hoax (i.e. no evidence on the moon), people will also believe when China claims "but we really landed a probe on it this time". And if China finds evidence to support the (lie of the) American moon landing ("we found the American flag and equipment"), then the moon landing must have happened, because why would America's enemy lie to support their hoax?

The moon is only lit when it reflects the suns energy.

The moon is only lit when it reflects the suns energy.

I prefer to believe it has its own unique light. God created two lights, not one light and one reflector.

Don't you find it inconsistent that no matter how much moonlight is concentrated, it never seems to heat? Try doing that with reflected sunlight. Some actually report concentrated moonlight has a cooling effect.

If the moon emitted its own light, how do you explain a new moon/half moon etc?

Easy, some dragon eats it up and spits it out again.

The moon revolves about its axis, but only half of it gives light, resulting in the different phases.

I'm not sure this belief (i.e. moon has its own light) is necessary for geocentrism, but I like it because I find it scripturally and observationally more consistent.

I don't think that is possible for the moon to emit light in portions.....

Paint a tennis ball on one hemisphere with luminescent paint or similar. Rotate it in a dark room, looking at it from the one angle. You will note different "phases", similar to what we observe of the moon from Earth.

so you are saying that the moon emits light from only one of its hemispheres, and the other hemisphere does not emit light at all...is that it?

That's my understanding, yeah.
