It certainly seems reasonable to me to believe in the geocentric theory. Firstly, it doesn’t compromise the common (unanimous?) interpretation of Sacred Scripture for Millennia. Secondly, the geocentric model works just as well as the heliocentric model in predicting the movements of the planets and eclipse events. Thirdly, I can understand why modern science and the conspirators would want to replace the geocentric model.
I read the FE threads with interest and I’m actually looking for a reason to believe it, but I find most of the arguments for it unsatisfying. As I’ve said on other threads, it seems to me that the FE theory is likely a disinformation campaign set in place to muddy the waters of geocentrism. Frankly, I would dismiss it immediately, out of hand, were it not for Ladislaus and others on this forum giving it some credence.
If the Church taught me that the FE model was true I would believe it without batting an eye. If the Church held it in the same category as it holds the geocentric model, I would have no problem accepting it as true. Even if it was the common opinion of ancient and Christian philosophers and scientists that the Earth was flat, I would feel confident that I was on the right track accepting the FE model. But none of these things are the case.
The answers to the objections against the FE theory are not satisfying to me. For instance, the reason given to explain away the “crows nest on a ship” proof of a global Earth, is just not tenable. Another objection is the lack of a cogent explanation of the movements of planets and eclipse events. The thought that no explorer ever docuмented the supposed “ice wall” around the edges of the Earth makes me scratch my head. There are many more examples of the holes in the FE theory, but these are sufficient for me to dismiss it, at least for now, as a reasonable theory.
