I have plainly said that I do believe ‘geocentrism’ as God states plainly in the Bible that ‘the Earth is the center of it all’ all meaning the universe. There is plenty of scientific evidence for anyone to see this is becoming much more apparent. You on the other hand want to constantly go back to a centuries old definition to imply ‘all’ as merely our solar system.

Yes there's just heaps of evidence for geocentrism, oodles of it! And it's all scientific, yesiree! Yup, it's so scientific that every second word ends in "-ology", and you can't get more scientific than that. Well, unless all the words ended in "-ology", but then you'd have to write "the" as "theology" and it'd get confusing and those Satanic minion heliocentrists would try to claim the whole mountain of evidence I have is all religiously biased instead of admitting its pure sciencey evidentialness.

Yup, I got so much super-scientific evidence that, like, no fact can contradict it, 'kay? Like my theories and stuff are so evidenced up they are actually laws, so you can't contradict them because you'd get arrested by the science police or something!

Sho', no-one got more evidence than me, and there's none sciencier than mine, so that's why you have to believe me, because all my mega-scientific evidence says I'm right!

What? You what to see it?

You don't think I carry all that evidence around with me do you? There's far too much!

But I got it all right, and it's scientific! Trust me!

"I have plainly said that I do believe geocentrism’ as God states plainly in the Bible that the Earth is the center of it all’ all meaning the universe."

Yes, and it also says all manner of other silly and unfounded bullshit. What of it?

"There is plenty of scientific evidence for anyone to see this is becoming much more apparent."

Then you should have no problem providing this evidence. Yet you failed to do that. What a surprise.

"You on the other hand want to constantly go back to a centuries old definition to imply all’ as merely our solar system."

Neither the solar system nor the universe have Earth at the center of it.

Under certain special conditions 'geocentrism' does indeed stand up to scrutiny. For instance, if Bible God = existing then 'geocentrism' = true.

In fact, "Bible God = existing" is a fundamental constant of nature and can be applied to many other scenarios and conditions as well. For instance:-

If Bible God = existing then children in Africa will never starve.

If Bible God = existing than short limbs are a thing of the past.

If Bible God = existing then I will be transformed into a puddle of stoat vomit.

On the other hand, there are conditions that might well be met if the reverse is true. For instance:-

If Bible God =/= existing then a vast increase in drooling will occur for some people (mainly fundamental cultists).

If Bible God =/= existing then the world will be consumed by lies and delusion.

If Bible God =/= existing then misogyny, racism and rabid authoritarianism will hold sway.

So, the question of Bible God's existence or non-existence is quite important for matters other than 'geocentrism'.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs Brown,

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
