Does The Sun Revolve Around The Earth? Presenting The Inaugural Geocentrism Conference

Posted by JacobSloan on October 11, 2010

ptolemiac-systemI was confident that this had to be satire, yet somehow, it’s real: one month from now will herald Galileo Was Wrong: The First Annual Catholic Conference on Geocentrism. A panel of Christian “experts” will be convening in South Bend, Indiana to discuss and promote Geocentrism — the theory that Earth, not the sun, is the center of our solar system (and the entire universe to boot).

Get ready to hop on the Geocentrism bandwagon. Conference admission is $50, including complementary lunch.

Geocentrism [is] the academic belief that the Earth is immobile in the center of the universe…garnering scientific information from physics, astrophysics, astronomy and other sciences. Scientific evidence available to us within the last 100 years that was not available during Galileo’s confrontation shows that the Church’s position on the immobility of the Earth is not only scientifically supportable, but it is the most stable model of the universe and the one which best answers all the evidence we see in the cosmos.

    South Bend, Indiana is hosting this? Hot damn…I might gas up the truck and roll south just to watch the train wreck of bubbleheads that waddle in to mutter incoherently on this. It should be better than a trip to peopleofwalmart.com!

    Wow, and I thought the Protestants were taking us all back with their opposition to Darwin.

    Fifty bucks for a lunch which no doubt contains saltpewter? I’m so not going, thanks. Besides, if I take a wrong turn, I could drive off the giant turtles back to my own demise.

    The guy behind the Creationist Museum would be a likely candidate.

    Planets…how do they work?

    You can’t have an idea and then fit “evidence” around it. You have to look at the eveidence and then formulate an idea, which these people have clearly not done.

  • Blackoutdustin

    isn’t all motion relative anyway? i myself subscribe to DustinCentrism.

  • Simiantongue

    Geocentrism is laughable. It’s observably false. As far as I can see everything revolves around me.

    people do the former all the time… it’s called ‘hypothesizing.’ the difference between these geocentric morons and real scientists is that these “geocentrists” are formulating their hypothesis (that the earth is immobile) and then selectively gathering and presenting ONLY the evidence that fits that hypothesis, and ignoring the evidence that contradicts it, much like their cousins the creationists.

    Have any of you actually read any of their work? You sound like the guys that scoffed at the idea of a round Earth. “Oh, yeah? So how do the Chinese keep from falling off? ‘Round Earth’. What a moron!” Instead of fecklessly attacking their intelligence, why don’t you debunk one of their arguments. Maybe they’re not as stupid as you’d like to think. All hail the conventional wisdom of establishment science!

    geocentrism has been debunked for quite a while, why reinvent the wheel.
    but here is one just for fun, the existence of earth’s magnetic field is proof that earth isn’t the “immobile center of the universe”
