Erm, so you mean we are back to the "Earth is the centre of the Universe and everything moves around it" argument again! A non Heliocentric solar system eh, god even the Vatican gave up on that turkey years ago. Hmmmn, thats interesting, so how come when we send space craft up to mars, jupiter, to observe the sun etc, they are in the places you would expect them to be if the sun is the centre of the solar system and the solar system is another random system in the saggitariius arm of the milky way galaxy. Wow, wasn't expecting that this morning, and this is why I get really annoyed when people use the bible to try and explain scientific things to suit their relgious agendas, but anyway, its good when they get into trying on the really ridicoulous ones like this as they just embaress themselves.

So when are we getting the proof about the flat earth, and the sun being dragged across the sky by a fiery chariot, and the seven spheres of ptolemy, and all that??? Wow, the mind truly boggles.

Umm...I hope I haven't upset you, Galbally. I'm not sure if you're unhappy with me or with the website..? I personally ignored the religious stuff in that article and concentrated on the pictures which I thought were kind of neat. Hopefully you know me well enough to know I would not try to smear any religion onto people..? Not to mention I didn't completely understand what they were going on about anyway.

Oh good, thanks Galbally! I was worried that I'd upset you. I'm sorry you're feeling grumpy. I hope things get better soon. :-6
