For APOLLO.

Earth at the center of the universe. First of all this is sensory. We see the sun, moon and stars revolve around the Earth every day. This means we are at the centre of it.

Next we come to
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)

In the summer of 1937 Grote Reber decided to build his own radio telescope in his back yard in Wheaton and uncovered a mystery that was not explained until the 1950s.’ Reber was not a believer of the Big Bang theory; he believed that red shift [of stars] was due to repeated absorption and re-emission or interaction of light and other electromagnetic radiations by low density dark matter, over intergalactic distances, and he published an article called “Endless, Boundless, Stable Universe,” which outlined his theory.’ --- Wikipedia

Then, in 1965, two American radio astronomers, Robert Wilson and Arno Penzias, working on their project since the 1940s, listening on their microwave horn antenna built for satellite communication, heard a continual hissing sound. At first they thought the sizzling noise they heard was caused by pigeon faeces dropped on the antenna. In fact, they tell us, what the boys heard was the CMB supposedly left behind by the Big Bang theory. Wilson and Penzias received the Nobel Prize for their find. It seems Reber did not get the million dollar prize because he was not playing the game as directed by the Earthmovers. Instead they gave it to the pair above who first thought the noise they heard was pigeon excrement before allowing the Big Bangers to claim it as theirs.

Then in 1989 a spacecraft called COBE was launched with a more complicated mechanism to measure the radiation out there. It proved very successful and measured many other different wavelengths. Moreover, the instruments could actually measure the difference in temperature between two points in space, they say.
In April 1992, after more than two years of data collecting and analysis, Smoot and his team made a dramatic announcement. The COBE satellite had detected tiny temperature variations of the order of about one-hundred-thousandth of a degree in the background radiation. According to computer generated plots of the entire sky, the temperature was minutely higher in the direction of the large galactic clusters and slightly lower in the great cosmic voids. The report was greeted with an enthusiastic media response all over the world. Newspapers on every street corner on earth showered headlines like: “How the Universe Began.” “Has Man Mastered the Universe?” “Scientific Community Filled with Excitement.” “A Discovery has Scientists excited:” “Science and religion in a close encounter.

Study of the CMB continued with the United States government’s agency the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In June, 2001 a satellite WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) was launched from Cape Canaveral aboard a Delta rocket. Then there was the European Space Agency’s PLANCK mission launched in 2009 to map the CMB in greater detail. By 2013 the cosmologists reckoned the temperature variations of the cosmos were now known and from these had conjured up a history of the universe since the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. Throughout the world, in scientific institutions and universities, massive crowds turned out to hear of and see the ‘proofs’ the CMB had established for their Big Bang theory. One of these, they claim, was the first evolution of the stars from particles 200,000,000 years old. Hundreds of websites were created to show the world what their science had discovered. But the truth will out if you seek it that is:

During this time of discovery Robert Sungenis and Richard Delano also took an interest in the CMB’s findings. To them, interpretation of the data shows the Earth sits at the centre of the universe.

‘All in all, there are three basic [CMB] alignments of the Earth with the universe:
 (1) The cosmic microwave radiation’s dipole is aligned with the Earth’s equator.
 (2) The cosmic microwave radiation’s quadrupole and octupole are aligned with the EarthSun ecliptic.
 (3) The distant quasars and radio galaxies are aligned with the Earth’s equator and the North Celestial Pole. Essentially, these three alignments provide the X, Y and Z coordinates to place Earth in the very center of the known universe.’

Such were the accolades from the scientific community for the CMR/CMB and its Nobel prizes that Robert Sungenis and Rick Delano felt confident in the science involved. Accordingly they decided to make a movie and a CD out of it called The Principle. Their team first contracted a few prominent physicists like Lawrence Krauss, Michio Kaku, George Ellisto, and Julian Barbour to comment on the CMB’s findings in this docuмentary, including the fact that it clearly shows the Earth to be the centre of the universe. In their movie, the trailer of which can be found on Google, they claim that the CMB evidence does indeed seem to point to an Earth-centred universe.

By mid March, 2017, The Principle’s website announced further evidence for a geocentric Earth has been discovered:

‘Beginning with the Axis of Evil, and now including similar anti-Copernican Principle alignments with the ecliptic and equinoxes of Earth involving quasars, galaxies, distributions of supernovae and other phenomena, [the evidence surely shows us] that the Earth seems to occupy a special, even a central position with respect to the largest visible structures in the universe.’

  • I never follow these type of threads, but the earth is not the center of the world, the earth is the world.

    Within Catholicism at times, the world usually means the Earth. When past Fathers and popes condemned the heresy of 'other worlds' they meant occupied 'Earths.'

    However, the term world can also mean : the system of created things, the Universe, the world of human experience. It is this center I refer to.

    The Earth as it is spoken of in this thread should be capitalized.
