184. WTF???????
Remember, the Sun rotates around the Earth just as readily as the Earth rotates around the Sun. It's just a matter of frames of reference, and being willing to put up with a much more difficult set of mathematics...

My god, next I will read the earth is flat and the UNIVERSE goes around the Earth

Here is the MAJOR critical difference between Religious thought and science

IN order to be a good catholic (using it since it is well known) you need to believe that wine can transubstantiate into blood. No questions allowed

For thousands of years humans did believe the sun did indeed go around the Earth... but it was a theory, that once disproven it allowed people to move on to the theory that perhaps the earth rotates around the sun. That also helped explain some crazy things like mars seeming to go backwards every so often.

My god, no pun, but you need to re-read on how science is done and chiefly on the difference between theory and dogma... science uses theories, while religions use dogma
