Re: I haven't read this thread BUT...
Posts like I quoted above should come with an appropriate government health warning - and what is more - reminds me of why I shouldn't get on the internet.
Does ptolemy not realise the other observed consequences of his absurd model of ejections from the galactic bulge???
I have read most of this thread, brain reeling,I like your posts but nderstand the fustration.
According to ptolemy the only obseved model is recorded in the bible.

original language
My claim is that the simple evidence from astronmy fits what the BIble actaually says in the original language.
Do you have a text of the bible in the original language?

Re: original language
I bet that even if he does, he would not understand it.
Genesis is a wonderful story. It has puns, political satire, digs at surrounding religions that you have to understand in the political context of the day. It uses all the names of the of the gods in the Ugartic religion as the name of a single diety, in a rather successful effort in the long run to assimulate that religion.
What it is NOT is a science text. People who try to read science into it lose all it's subtle meanings that were actually written in there.
Yes it's all of those things, taking it as a description of reality-priceless.
There is no orginal language copy of the bible.

Re: Interesting
I'm guessing that your belief that Newton's Laws of Motion even apply outside of our solar system is somehow rooted in your blind acceptance of Aristotle's first principle.
So you don't think that the rules of physics exist outside the solar system?

Re: Interesting
I definitely do, that was just the kind of response Eta might expect to get.
Well just for clarification, do you think that gravity could be different outside the solar system.
