    This thread just gets more and more ridiculous! I love it.

    I think there may be some confusion here as to who the troll is according to Musicology's perspective.

    I have a question to add to my clicker of ignored questions....

    Why are you ignoring my questions?

    That will make 7 when you don't answer it.

    Why would we want it to die? It's quite harmless and endlessly entertaining.

    Though, just to be sure, which side of it do you think is ludicrous? I only ask because I seem to remember that you think the concept of Earth being many millions of years old is also ludicrous.

    I think my question got lost somewhere:

    As you can see it, do you agree that the moon has a cycle of 28 days round the earth as the earth does not turn round its own aksis?

    Well, duh!

    Since it rises & sets just over every 24 hours, it's obviously orbiting daily, along with the rest of the universe. It proves the FIXED earth theory, because it orbits at a slightly slower rate than everything else.

    PWND!

    It orbits slightly more slowly than more distant bodies because it's closer to the earth's static atmosphere, and therefore the moon itself - and not just the light reflected from it - is susceptible to the treacle effect.

    What would have happened to him? It's becoming very silent at the other end. Would 'medieval dogma' have scared him off?

    Er, no offense or anything, but do you believe in anything that's not got a wacko explanation? When you sit down to eat a cheese sandwich do you examine it very closely?

    I'm sure he responded excellently to what would once again appear to be a quite "ridiculous" thread - but I didn't read far enough until I gave it a big no, no.

    SIMPLE EXAMPLES OF THE SUPERIORITY OF A GEOCENTRIC UNIVERSE IN RESPECT OF THE ALLEGED 'ROTATION OF EARTH'

    1. If the Earth is really rotating on its axis at a speed of around 1,000 mph at its equator, travelling from 'west to east' and its rotation completes 1 cycle per terrestrial day the effects of that rotation would be seen by everyone on the landmass of the Earth and on the sea. They would be the most dominant and observable effects on the Earth next to those of gravity. But no such effects are actually known and there is no hard evidence of them even existing. They exist on pieces of paper, in the heads of mediaeval professors and nowhere else.

    2. If Earth is truly rotating at around a speed of 1,000 mph at its equator such a rotation would have the obvious effect of removing from the Earth surface all bodies not fixed to its surface. These now displaced bodies would continually be bounced around the surface of the Earth and into the lower atmosphere at a speed of 1,000 mph from the ground or sea and would eventually be distintegrated into dust. No such hazardous process is seen continuously occurring on Earth. Again, it exists on paper and in the heads of mediaeval dogmatists and nowhere else.

    3. The 'Coriolis Effect' and numerous other 'proofs' of Earth rotation are far more compatible with a fixed and stable Earth whose surface and whose atmosphere is affected by forces associated with the other moving bodies of the universe that are in constant motion around the Earth.

    CONCLUSION

    The Earth is fixed and stable. It is neither rotating on its axis at high speed nor is it revolving around the Sun. All other bodies of the universe are in constant motion around the Earth.

    In verifiable terms a geocentric universe proves to be far superior to that of the heliocentric universe theory and there is no known experiment or demonstration in which the latter has ever been proved superior to the former. Countless demonstrations and experiments could be devised to show the superiority of the former and none for the latter. This fact is ignored by dogmatists.

    (If lightweight seeds which float in the air over a meadow or field on a gentle breeze are also said to be floating in an Earth's atmosphere 'rotating at around 1,000 mph' that atmospheric rotation at high speed can only be as fictional as that of the 'rotating Earth' itself).

    The absurdities and contradictions taught as 'science' become clear when their teachers repeatedly fail to provide verifiable proof of their dogmas under observation and when they resist continual criticism of the assumptions on which they are based.

    Pics, or it didn't happen.

    (I'M SORRY, I COULDN'T RESIST...)
    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    While we CAN witness the rotation of the earth, no one IS a witness to the so-called ancient age of the earth. There are major contradiction to the evidence of an old earth. But that is not part of this thread and should not be argued here.

    This is a thread truly suited to the serious discussion forum. I can only anticipate more of the kind. Some suggestions:

    The oceans are really comprised entirely of CAT PISS!

    Dinosaurs were skilled MATHEMATICIANS!

    The core of the Earth is nothing more than TACO SALAD without SALSA!
