Have I missed something important about geocentrism?
I was assuming that it claimed the sun revolved around the earth once a day
(as John Calvin believed - see his commentary on Ps. 19). I argued that
light gyroscopes prove the earth rotates about its axis once a day instead.
No appeal to relativity can change this fact.
Do modern day geocentrists claim the sun goes around the earth only once a
year? (thus acknowledging that the earth rotates on its axis). If so, my
post yesterday is irrelevant to the question. I would agree with Glenn that
stellar parallax is a good argument against this geocentrism.
