my faith is in God, not science. I lean toward geocentric as God's Word does attest to that, God does not lie and the Scriptures are inerrant (they contain no error).

Explain then, why the sun is constant, but the planets shift in and out of visibility. If the planets orbited us too, they'd be visible all the time, no?

Translation: my faith is in a 4,000 year old book by a bunch of anonymous bronze age Arab goat-herders; not reality.
However, you have a lot of faith in computers, anti-biotics, the guys who permit you to travel around the world thanks to their heliocentric paradigm....................

Tyco Brahe addressed this issue. He speculated that the planets (other than the Earth) orbit the sun, but the sun in turn orbits the Earth. This would be completely consistent with all observations we could make about our Solar system, and doesn't contradict any statements made anywhere in the Bible.
Of course, then you have to answer why we have stellar parallax....
1. The Bible is inerrant.
2. The Bible said the Earth is the center of the universe.
3. Scientists have observed that the Earth is not in the center of the universe.
4. My faith is in God, not science.
5. Therefore, the Earth is the center of the universe.
Christian logic at its finest!
And that's fine. Grand. You live in a free country, you can believe any fucked up shit you want. Just, for Christ's sake, don't ever work for NASA.
Oooh, so close.
God's Word does attest to that,
Yes it does...
God does not lie
according to your proof of God.
the Scriptures are inerrant
according to your proof of God.

Therefore. You have two choices. The sun is a little ball of light made by God on day 4, or your omnipotent, omniescient, omnibenevolent (ROFL) answer to life the universe and everything is a load of shit a 2yr old could see through.
Bats aren't birds.
Rabbits don't chew their cud.
Insects don't have four legs.
Conflicting accounts of creation in Genesis.
Conflicting accounts of Judas' death.
You can't see all the kingdoms of the world from a mountain.
And that's off the top of my head.
Also, how can you say what you said and then correctly define "inerrant"?
historyb, it is hard to believe how incredibly stupid you are. Stupid as a stone that the other stones make fun of. So stupid that you have traveled far beyond stupid as we know it and into a new dimension of stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid cubed. Trans-stupid stupid. Stupid collapsed to a singularity where even the stupons have collapsed into stuponium. Stupid so dense that no intelligence can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot summer day on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one minute than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. It cannot be possible that anything in our universe can really be this stupid. This is a primordial fragment from the original big stupid bang. A pure extract of stupid with absolute stupid purity. Stupid beyond the laws of nature.
