In 1965, Arno Pezias and Robert Wilson discovered that the microwave radiation we recieve from the universe is basically the same no matter in which direction we look. This discovery can lead to only three possible conclusions. First, the universe is infinite. Second, the universe looks the same regardless of which planet, solar system, or galaxy it was viewed from. And third, the earth is at the center of the universe.
The first two possibilities are easily disproven. The former is voided by the physical expansion of the universe and is seldom now considered a viable theory. The latter is nullified mathematically, since it requires the existence of a three-dimensional plane.
However, even if these two possibilities were valid they both lead to the conclusion that every point within the universe is the center, thus allowing for a geocentric perception.
The third conclusion currently stands unrefuted by science and is in complete agreement with the claims of Scripture
What a pity to base such an elegant argument on wrong information. Science has moved on since 1965. The cosmic background radiation has been found to have small variations, it is is not the same in every direction. That's the bugger about science, it keeps progressing. A good argument one day has to be reviewed in the light of new data the next day.
Back to the drawing board, or rather back to reinterpreting the scriptures to discover how they are in complete agreement with the latest scientific data?
