However, for both moral and theological reasons, we should always bear in mind that the Earth does not move. If it moved, we would feel it moving.

In fact, let&#8217;s take a look at several of those facts.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>2) The earth moves only thru abstract, abstruse, and esoteric mathematics invented to make it move.<\/p>\n<p>4) Relativity is pure claptrap and there isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a person reading this who can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know that fact.<\/p>\n<p>5) Foucault\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Pendulum, the Coriolis Effect, and geostationary satellites do not prove a moving earth.<\/p>\n<p>6) Anyone can see that the results of the Michelson-Morley experiments\u00e2\u20ac\u201cespecially the light fringe results\u00e2\u20ac\u201cprove a stationary earth; and other facts about eclipses, satellite re-positionings, alleged blinding earth speeds, gravitational hooey, etc., add to the proof&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Why is this such a concern? Because the evils of heliocentrism must be opposed because it led to evolution which leads to Godlessness.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready for the punchline? This post is on a blog supporting Sam Brownback for president.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Look, people, even your Heliocentric hero Galileo recanted his idiotic notions about the Earth revolving around the Sun. If he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your so-called reliable source on this, I think it does wonders to shatter the idea\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s credibility that one of its main proponents backed away from it so abruptly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can&#8217;t stop quoting from this article!
