If god is holding everything in place, what is even the point of gravity?
FYI, the solar system orbits around a common centre of gravity. Although the sun is the dominate source of gravity in the solar system, there is no celestial body that could be considered the central object in the solar system, and if there was, it certainly wouldn't be puny little earth. Of the eight planets, we're in the bottom half for mass, and that's not even including the sun. What you're trying to suggest violates ALL known laws of physics -- the very laws which you claim God created.
Would it not be counterproductive from him to create these laws that would have the earth, for all intents and purposes, traveling in a orbit around the sun, only to defy those laws by having the exact opposite occur?
Of course, I'm probably wasting my time here. Logic rarely sways fundamentalists.
@Illuminatalie: 15 is setting the bar a bit too high. Most people know that the earth orbits around the sun by the time they're 7, if not younger, and have an okay understanding of gravity by the time they reach Junior High. Hell, even in elementary school, I understood that bigger (later refined to 'more massive') meant stronger gravity, as did most of my classmates -- and these were ordinary kids, not child prodigies. I can't count the number of times I saw some fat kid getting bullied by children who claimed he was large enough to produce orbit...
I refuse to believe that the American education system is so bad that 15-year-old Americans aren't aware of facts that people in my country learn when they're in grade school.
