New from Christian Science: Geocentrism

What’s even worse than the debate raging in American schools about the teaching of the soulless doctrine of evolution, is the non-debate over an issue that rational Americans have foolishly conceded to the secular among us: the issue of Heliocentrism, or the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun.

...It seems clear that it may occasionally be convenient to assume that the calculations of Copernicus and Kepler were mathematically sound. 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. That’s called empiricism, the experience of the senses. Don’t take my word for it, or the evidence of your own senses, Copernicans. There’s also the Word of the Lord:

“He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.” (1 Chronicles 16:30)

“Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm …” (Psalm 93:1)

The reason we don't feel the Earth move is the same reason we don't feel a car move at 60 mph on the freeway after we've spent six hours looking for the right turn off: we don't feel anything unless speed is being gained. I can easily assume that Earth has been rotating at it's approximate speed of 18,000 mph for quite some time now, so I think I'll stick with my basic high school physics instead of "scriptural wisdom".

It's also interesting to note how information is just thrown this way and that without much correlation to anything other than the words sound similar. If you can't discern the difference, you might wanna check out Bread is Dangerous

Hello: - the religion of Christian Science, discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy, and written up in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, does not espouse the doctrine of Geocentrism, has no connection whatsoever with such a notion.

if you use "science" without capitalizing it, you will eliminate the confusion.
