Of course the Earth is at/near the center of the Universe. God’s glorious Design is for our sake, and it’s fitting that we would have a place at center-stage, so to speak. Evo-Atheists have tried to belittle our position in order to make us some cosmic accident scattered at the fringes of an impersonal Cosmos.

The Solar System, which contains the planet Earth,is located about mid-way along the Orion arm, a minor spur of a spiral galaxy we call the Milky way. The Milky Way is one in a cluster of galaxies which we call the Local Group; itself a member of an even larger group of galaxies called the Virgo Supercluster. In 1977 a great warrior/philosopher formulated the theory: "if there's a bright center to the Universe, then you're on the planet that its farthest from". Look it up, (I dare ya).
The universe has a center? Last I checked space was curved, sort of like a ball. So where is the center of the ball on any of its surface?
Answer: Anywhere you want the center to be. In fact, every point on its surface can be a center.

Of course I am at the center of the Universe. God’s glorious Design is for my sake, and it’s fitting that I would have a place at center-stage, so to speak. People who don't agree with me on everything have tried to belittle my position in order to make me some cosmic accident scattered at the fringes of an impersonal Cosmos.
@ Siberia: Done!

ust remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
Of course the Earth is at/near the center of the Universe
And you arrived at this conclusion how? Asserting that something is true doesn't make it so.

So your "god" created this vast and complex universe solely for our benefit, yet his supposed chosen followers do everything in their power to discredit and belittle the people who seek to further they're knowledge of it.

That's what it's all about, isn't it? You want to feel like you are special, you are either unwilling or unable to accept your own insignificance. You want to be the center of attention, and like any spoiled child you'll lash out at anyone who points out to you that it is simply not the case.
technically, one could CLAIM that any point is the center of the universe, as you stand at one point, and measure how far away various stars are, they are all receding equally. thus it looks like you are at the point where expansion started (or the center). but since space itself is expanding, that effect would be observed anywhere. so still fail.
How very Egocentric of you.
I often think the god they are talking about is actually a reflection of some part of their personality. Their positions and views speak a lot about themselves.
This person has no clue about the scale of the Earth compared to the rest of the universe. We are very very very small and even that doesnt cover it. I dont think we are insignificant, in the sense of I find many things in the universe amazing (whether small or not). But we are not the center of the universe, we are not special in the sense of "chosen ones" special.
Your evident derangement would make sense but for the fact that there is no God. So you're deranged for no reason at all.
There's nothing wrong with a fantasy as long as it doesn't impair your mind. But when fantasy takes over and reality takes a back-seat, then beware. That seems to have happened to you.
And then we find some aliens who are vastly more powerful than us, and could destroy us at any moment.
Of course if they are humanoid... hmmm... would that make me a xenophile?
Evolution and cosmology are totally different studies, and the Hubble Telescope, and other astronomy tools prove without a shadow of a doubt that the Earth is most definitely NOT the center of the universe.
How can you stay so ignorant and still survive?
How many more posts before someone went, "Yeah, I totally agree, those atheists think they're so important
If I ever become the leader of some country, I'll make Douglas Adams mandatory reading for everyone, at elementary school.
Of course, that's why I'll never hold any kind of public office.
Part of me just wants to agree with this moron, just to say, "Yup, and that's why the universe is expanding so quickly: everyone and everything wants to get away from you as quickly as possible..."
I love this guy, he's easily recognised by the silly new word he's trying to invent: "evo-atheists". Science teaches a little humility in this regard by informing you that YOU are not the center of this universe and that you must grow up and get over that.
I am embarrassed for our species that anyone is this arrogant.

Y'know, it's times like this that I want to point out to these people the Rule of Thirds. The most aesthetically pleasing universe would have its focus point a third of the way from the edge, not in the center.
*ahem*
Yakko's Universe Song
Everybody lives on a street in a city
It's a great big universe
And we're part of a vast interplanetary system
And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars
It's a great big universe
Any questions?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
