Galileo Was Wrong, The Church Was Right

{{pseudoastronomy|1=1}}{{title-italics}}
{{cquote|Galileo Was Wrong is a [[Cherry picking|detailed and comprehensive treatment]] of the scientific evidence supporting Geocentrism, the academic belief that the Earth is immobile in the center of the universe. Garnering scientific information from physics, astrophysics, astronomy and other sciences, Galileo Was Wrong shows that the debate between Galileo and the Catholic Church was much more than a difference of opinion about the interpretation of Scripture.|||Robert Sungenis<ref>[http://catholicintl.com/#!/~/product/category=1548576&id=21362710 Galileo Was Wrong: The Church Was Right, Volumes I-III]</ref>}}
'''''Galileo Was Wrong, The Church Was Right''''' ({{Isbn|0977964000}}) a 2007 book which asserts that the [[geocentrism|geocentric]] view of the [[Universe]] (i.e., the [[Earth]] is motionless at the center of the Universe and the [[Sun]] orbits around it) espoused by the [[Catholic Church]] centuries ago is correct,<ref name="Ama">[http://www.amazon.com/Galileo-Was-Wrong-Church-Right/dp/0977964000 Amazon description]</ref> while [[Galileo]] was a hack. No, really. The book was written by Catholic apologists/nutjobs [[Robert Sungenis]] and Robert Bennett, and you can buy a copy of it from their website for only $114.00, plus with your purchase, you get a complimentary luncheon at their conference!<ref group=notes>Though you may now require a [[time machine]], as the conference was in November 2010.</ref>

==Criticism==
{{cquote|This book is the work of [[Satan]], written to entice the faithful into [[Hell|perdition]] with crafty half-truths. The authors manage to get the story partially correct in their explanation of how the sun revolves around the earth, as described in {{Bible|Job|38|4}}, {{Bible|1 Samuel|2|8}}, and {{Bible|Psalm|93|1}}. Well, good for them. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to observe that the earth is stationary and the sun moves around it, from east to west. No great revelation there. Where the authors fall down on the job is their failure to explain how [[Flat Earth|the earth is flat]], another simple observation that anyone can make for themselves just by stepping outside. The authors instead promote the lie that the earth is round, in direct contradiction to {{Bible|Job|38|13}}, {{Bible|Proverbs|8|27}}, and {{Bible|Isaiah|48|22}}. Apparently, Sungenis and Bennett think they know more than [[God]]! Don't fall for this [[blasphemous]] [[Bullshit|claptrap]]. The sun goes around the flat earth, end of story.|||One reviewer, a [[Poe's law|Poe]]<ref name="Ama"/>}}

Not to mention, it isn't just the solar system involved.  If geocentrism were correct, the stars in our galaxy would be orbiting the Earth much faster than the speed of light...and of course, other galaxies would be orbiting us much faster yet.
