Geocentrists Convene To Discuss How Galileo Was Wrong
rollcall writes "'Galileo Was Wrong' is an inaugural conference to discuss the 'detailed and comprehensive treatment of the scientific evidence supporting Geocentrism, the academic belief that the Earth is immobile in the center of the universe.' The geocentrists argue that 'Scientific evidence available to us within the last 100 years that was not available during Galileo's confrontation shows that the [Catholic] 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.' I, like many of you, am scratching my head wondering how people still think this way. Unfortunately, there is still a significant minority of Western people who believe that the Earth is the center of the universe: 18% of Americans, 16% of Germans, and 19% of Britons."
I hope there is live blogging from the conference.

My mom says I'm the center of the universe.... or is that just the basement?
...even they know the earth goes round the sun.

In other news, 17% of Americans were found to exhibit a sense of humor when called by pollsters while most of the rest just get upset.
Moderating "-1, Disagree" is simple censorship. Have the guts to post your opinion.
I thought Galileo Darwin had conclusively proved that the Earth evolves around the sun?
Pick a lagrange point between the sun and the earth as the center of the universe so that neither one moves.

Look, these guys know what they're talking about. They have a book published by Catholic Apologetics International Publishing, a non-profit corporation. Since it's a non-profit you know they're not out to make a quick buck.
And the authors both have a Ph.D. The primary author, Robert A. Sungenis, Ph.D. holds advanced degrees in Theology and Religious Studies. He has authored ten books including a five volume compendium on the bible. How can you argue with that? If this man says the Earth is the center of the universe, I for one will take him seriously!
In his book Galileo Was Wrong The Church Was Right he authored the entire book except chapter 10. Chapter 10 was written by Robert J. Bennet, Ph.D. Dr. Bennet has a doctorate in General Relativity from Stevens Institute of Technology. He provides a detailed, technical and mathematical explanation of the various arguments for Geocentrism.
With these credentials I am shocked you could so boldly proclaim they have made an error.
The Earth is pretty much at the center of the observable universe...
...Which is one of the flaws in democracy rather than true self-government and is why democracies need to transition to self-government with a tiny government to protect people from force and fraud.
You're right! Galileo is attempting to subject us all to the gravitational force, and as an American I am against that. My feet stay on the ground because I am bound to this country by patriotism, not because some namby-pamby Eurotrash fraud is trying to force me to. Don't tread on me!
Surely you jest - this site shows the beauty that is out there ;)

Hmm
I'd say that 90% of the world are _convinced_ they believe in some god because they where brainwashed with it from early age. It's simply culturally accepted child molestation of the mind which is harder to prove than physical harm. If there was a law that prohibited people from influencing children with these outrageous ideas, religions would see a rapid decline in membership. It would be hard to convert someone who thought for themselves for 21 years, then to be presented with the idea that there is a man in the sky that designed this world. Religion needs an age of consent.

But that's still evidence, right???

Next up on Slashdot 18% of Americans, 16% of Germans, and 19% of Britons hate being asked stupid questions in surveys.
