Cosmology Poll

Just curious to see the breakdown here on CI.

I understand that there could be some permutations of this, so, for instance, you can believe that the earth is flat, but that the universe is vast, or you can be a geocentrist and still believe in a firmament, but just pick the category that's closest to what you believe.  I understand that you could be undecided as well, so just pick the model that you lean toward ... the one you'd pick if you were forced to make a choice.

The funny thing is, most indulters I know aren't phased at all by the fact that Catholics are much more likely to believe the Earth is flat. Instead of making the flat earth theory more credible, it makes traditionalists more idiotic in their mind!

Just goes to show what has deeper roots in their minds.

There's one vote for "Other".  I'm curious about what that is and would be interested in hearing about it.

I have not voted.

"Geocentrism:  earth is stationary, shaped like a globe…"

Please provide an accepted source, preferably Magisterium, defining that geocentrism demands GE.

In my geocentrism journey, I recall no such definition.
