  • As we look out at the sky from our immobile Earth, we see that all celestial bodies have proper daily, monthly, annual and multi-yearly movement, that is, a daily rotation around the Earth, a monthly orbit for the moon, an annual orbit for the sun, and a multi-year cycle for planets, comets and the precession of the stars. The Earth’s motionless centrality was considered by Aristotle to be its gravitational ‘natural place.’ St Ambrose of Milan (†397), however, and other Fathers of the Church, like St Gregory Naxianzus (†390) and St Basil the Great (†379), attributed the geocentricity of the Earth to divine Providence alone.
    .
    Not true. Some of the celestial bodies (planets) appear to have a non-proper daily motion, called retrograde motion.  This can only be explained
    by Heliocentrism in a simple way.  It can be explained by a Geocentrism that is so complex that it is insane.

    I don't give a damn what Aristotle thought or what St Ambrose believed about Astronomy.  I don't care what the Fathers of the Church believed
    about Astronomy. 

    Like I said, you need to get out of the dark ages.

  • We know that a rocket needs to attain a speed of 25,000 MPH to leave the gravity of the Earth and never come back,
    for going to Mars or Jupiter.  We have been able to calculate that speed (25,000 MPH) by using the formula used in
    Celestial Mechanics.  If we had tried to send a rocket to Mars with a maximum speed of 20,000 MPH, it would never
    have escaped the gravity of the Earth and would be orbiting the Earth in some kind of elliptical orbit.

    So, to say the we don't understand gravity is not very smart.  We understand all we need to know about gravity for
    rockets, satellites and the planets of the solar system (which are orbiting around the Sun, like the Earth does).  

    I know .... don't tell me ... BUT THE CHURCH FATHERS, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH ...
    Give me some more negative votes.  That will prove me wrong.

    It is one of Galileo's greatest astronomical mistakes to presume that S is fixed in center of U...

    Yes, mathematics can tell us which Catholic dogmas are right and which are wrong :laugh2: :P :o :( ;D ;) :-\

    Say what?!  A Catholic dogma is a defined Catholic doctrine.  All well educated Catholics should know that all Catholic dogmas are absolutely true and not subject to change.  So.....please be so kind as to state one, just one, Catholic dogma that is not true/right and then explain how it can not be true/right and still be a Catholic dogma.

  • Fr. Alphonsus Maria, C.SS.R., currently working with the SSPX, claims that St. Alphonsus de Liguori was a heliocentrist.

    You were not supposed to take that seriously.  I was trying to show how ridiculous someone's comment was.
    Don't forget to give me a negative vote.

    Except the center of mass of the entire universe.

    Neil Obstat already said that a long time ago. Actually that is a name someone used to call me many years ago.

  • QUESTION. What is the force that keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth?   The Moon has a velocity, right?  It has been calculated
    to be 2,300 MPH.  Why does it not go in a straight line and go off into space?  (I have my own theory/fact, but I want to hear what
    other people think).

  • I just watched a video, a talk by Dr. Robert Sungenis given in Dallas, TX, published in Dec. 2015.
    I now realize that I have been narrowly focused on the Newtonian (gravitational) aspect of the
    Solar System.  Robert Sungenis focuses on a much larger aspect, using the whole universe.  
    He has shown me why so many Catholics like the idea of Geocentrism.

    HOWEVER, he admits that if one focuses only on the Solar System, the Newtonian (gravitational)
    theories show that the Earth orbits around the Sun, no question about it.  

    Nevertheless, he claims that there are forces outside our Solar System that change the Newtonian
    Solar System model into a different model where the Earth may very well be at the center of the
    Universe.  

    Finally, I disagree with his concept of forces outside of our Solar System, but I don't want to go
    into that in this reply.  I want to see if there is sufficient interest in this advanced part of the debate.  
    I also disagree with his main arguments about why the Earth must be at the center and I disagree
    with his claim that the Bible says the Earth is at the center and not rotating and not orbiting the
    Sun.

    BTW, I'm sorry for my lack of patience with people, but I do think it's not fair for people to keep
    shouting the same thing over and over again, when I've already given my argument against it.

    Here is the Video:

    Your lack of respect for the great thinkers of the past limits your understanding of the present.  You need to learn some humility and some history.

    Humility? OK.  
    Great thinkers of the past? What this usually means is that I cannot disagree with the Fathers of the Church,
    whose business was religion and Catholic dogma, but not Astronomy.

    They may be out of date, since we have better telescopes than they had.  So we may know more than they
    knew.  There have been mathematical discoveries since they lived on the Earth.  Respect for them?  OK.   But
    if their theories are now known to be incorrect, we can say so, especially on non-religious subjects, such as 
    Astronomy.

    While it is possible for Fathers of the Church to be wrong about astronomy, it is still worthwhile to understand what they said and why they said it.  These are wise and holy men, not people to dismiss as "out of date".

    Theories about astronomy are always subject to change because that is the nature of science.  In fact, several different theories have been accepted and then discarded since the classical period. There is no good reason to assume that the latest theory is actually correct nor to treat is an an absolute fact.  At most, it is the best understanding at this time.

    You seem to have this idea that everyone is smart and correct now and were stupid and wrong in the past.  That is not how it works.  The term "dark ages" is misleading, inaccurate, and pejorative.  Scholars of history do not use it.  Your posts display a shallow and ignorant grasp of the subject.

    Please provide actual photos of your heliocentric solar system that are not CG'd.
