Since the earth orbits the sun, it does not seem possible that earth would be the center. It would be better to look for a planet that all others rotate around.
Either way it's in the safe hands of our creator!

Well, for three days the earth did not orbit the sun!

In other words when I'm taking a bath and I pull the plug 3 hours later and all my rubber duckies start gravitating towards the whirlpool, it does not mean the plug was in the centre of my bath! :LOL:

The more we explore and look out into the vastness of the universe the less science seems to understand. Despite all attempts to discover life on other planets and moons none has been found. Astronomers speculate that Goldilocks planets or planets that could support life are in other solar Systems.
Let’s assume that that is true. The nearest star is something like 4 light years away from us. At any achievable speed it would take 15 to 20 thousand years for a space craft to get there or to here. It will never happen despite what we see in si-fi movies.
For any real meaningful metric, life, all that matters is on this one grain of sand called earth in the vastness of the universe. We are the center of the universe! All that was created as far as can be seen or known was created so that we exist!

You are absolutely correct and this is also a scientific fact. 95% of the universe is receding away from us faster than the speed of light.
It's impossible to know all the details of God's Creation and we will never know, but it sure is inspiring for me as a Christian for the things i am able to see and measure.
