The Earth orbits the Sun

Ok, thank you for clearing that up about Darwin. And also thank you for providing an excellent argument. I will enjoy this last round greatly. So, first things first. The theory proposed by Dr. Robert Sungenis. I did not watch the entire video because, as you said, it is very long. However, from what I did watch it raised some very important questions that need to be answered. 1) Ok, so according to the geocentric model the entire universe, not just the solar system, revolves around the earth. Now if we accept this is true then we cannot accept the fact that the universe is any bigger then the solar system. This does line up with the geocentric model, which says that the stars are basically on a big sort of screen that encompasses the solar system. Now whether or not you agree with this, it is the only option. Why? Well if the universe is as large as the heliocentric model proposes then stars and planets thousands of lightyears away would be moving faster then the speed of light in order to keep up with what we see when we look up at the stars. This is obviously not possible, as Einstein proved. Nothing can travel faster then the speed of light. The theory that the stars are really just a big picture on a massive screen surrounding the solar system does not work. Why? Because we have sent the satellite voyager 1 outside of our solar system, taking photos the whole way. At no point during that trip have we come across any data that would indicate that the solar system is geocentric. We have two theories, the massive universe or the inclosed solar system. Neither of them work with the geocentric model. Therefore I must conclude that the geocentric model is wrong in regards to the rest of the universe. Of coarse you could say that the information provided by the voyager 1 is really just being hidden and replaced with false information to keep the public from panicking, but thats another debate for another time. 2) In my last point I said that the geocentric model is wrong when it comes to the rest of the universe, however this still leaves our solar system. In your last argument you said that the gravity of earth was due to the fact that the atmosphere blocks the superdense space. I'm going to ignore that theory for now and focus on the fact that we experience gravity because of an atmosphere. Going off of this we should not experience gravity when there is no atmosphere as space prevents us from feeling it. However this is not the case. When mankind first landed on the moon we experienced gravity. The moon does have a atmosphere, however it is less then a trillionth of the density of the earths. So because of this we should experience a lot less then the 1/6 of earths gravity then we do when walking on the moon. We should feel almost no gravity on the moon if this where true. 3) You also said, "Although I do not believe that scientists really have the ability to calculate the distance of the stars as they are just too far away.". When calculating the distance between us and other planets in our solar system it is quite simple. Take a photo of the planet from a telescope on one side of the world, and take another from a telescope on the other side of the world. We can then use trigonometry to find the distance. As you said this cannot be used to find the distance to stars as they are simply to far away. So, in order to find the distance we supersize this process. Basically we take a photo from one side of the solar system, wait six months and take another photo of the star from the other side of the solar system. Unfortunately we can only use this for stars closer then 500 lightyears, give or take. The second method is much more complicated (http://earthguide.ucsd.edu...) and basically involves using the relative brightness of the stars to find the distance. This is the currently our most accurate way of finding the distance to stars. However, like you said it is not incredibly accurate but it can be done. 4) Once again, the moon and the earth. Lets pretend we have a tether ball, but its a very special tether ball. The rope never wraps around the pole and the ball never slows down. If you where to take the ball and spin it around the poll. The ball would move at a constant speed never accelerating and never decelerating. Now pretend that we moved the poll to the bed of a moving truck. Repeating the experiment you throw the ball around the poll. The ball moves at a constant velocity and never accelerates and never decelerates. The moon does not change speed. The sum of its total velocity (speed and direction) changes, the earths velocity plus the moons velocity, as the moons velocity is occasionally negative even though its speed is constant. But the actual speed of the moon remains constant. Simply put, the moon moves at a constant speed relative to the earth, not to the sun. 5) Polaris. After much research I have come to a shocking conclusion. I know this will sound strange and at first I did not believe it, but feel free to check it out for yourself (http://science.howstuffworks.com...). You are right. The North Star does not remain still. It changes it position slightly as the earths axis wobbles slightly. The reason that the Polaris remains in almost the same place over the north pole is because its so far away, about 430 lightyears. Even the 300 million Km wide orbit of the earth only changes the angle by billionths of a degree. We cannot perceive this small of a change with our own eyes and so it appears to remain in the same spot over the north pole. 6) Finally is a fact that also debunks the geocentric model. The planet Mars. Not the fact that the planet exists, but the fact that we have landed several probes on it. Why does this debunk the geocentric model. Well we where able to land the probes on Mars because we where able to predict where the planet would be by the time our ship got there, we did this using heliocentric equations and calculations. The orbit of the planet Mars is totally different between the geocentric and heliocentric models. simply because of the fact that we have landed on Mars we must conclude that it orbits in the way the heliocentric model describes. During the coarse of the debate you have made several points that seem to prove the geocentric model. Unfortunately all of these arguments can be disproved by the fact that we have explored our solar system and beyond, albeit not very far outside of our solar system. If the only evidence for either side of the debate was observations made from earth, then it would be very hard to conclude if either side was correct. However, as I said we have explored our solar system. We know what our solar system looks like because we have seen it studied it from more then our limited perspective of earth. Based off of the evidence provided I must conclude that the heliocentric model is correct. I hope I have convinced you as well. Either way thank you for this debate.
