The sun is a really bright thing, the earth is something like 10 or so light-minutes away from it. Suppose science found a new way to measure, completely overcoming that brightness, so that we could actually measure the distance of the sun to the earth in feet, or even inches? Then suppose some unfortunate scientist overcame personal biases, and proclaimed some bad news "guess what Darwinists, it's not possible that earth has gone around the sun millions, or billions of times. It would have been drawn in (or drifted away) after 30 or 40 thousand times, tops. Do you think he would continue to live? Would the scientific community gladly accept becoming a laughingstock, in the interest of truth?
Sheesh.
Eight light minutes away.
And of course we can measure the distance in feet or inches or miles or kilometers or furlongs or hands or any other system you want to consider.
And guess what? Proclamations mean nothing in science. Any scientist that made a proclamation would be a laughingstock and rightly so.
That really is the crux of your problem, you have no clue how science is done.
What is needed for your scientist to avoid becoming a laughingstock is that he must present the model explaining why the earth would have spiraled into the sun.
Of course, we know for a fact that the earth has NOT spiraled into the sun in several billions of years. That much is fact. That much is supported by overwhelming evidence.
BUT the important point is that this is just another example of you trying to palm the pea, change the subject in addition to continuing to post assertions that have been refuted, shown to be false in this very thread.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
