Galileo Was Wrong is a detailed and comprehensive treatment of the scientific evidence supporting Geocentrism, the academic belief that the Earth is immobile in the center of the universe. Garnering scientific information from physics, astrophysics, astronomy and other sciences, Galileo Was Wrong shows that the debate between Galileo and the Catholic Church was much more than a difference of opinion about the interpretation of Scripture.
Scientific evidence available to us within the last 100 years that was not available during Galileo's confrontation shows that the Church's position on the immobility of the Earth is not only scientifically supportable, but it is the most stable model of the universe and the one which best answers all the evidence we see in the cosmos.

You fail science forever.
It is fucked up twatwaffles like you that stand in the way of real progress. You scream mindlessly about your holy book and grab any straw, pervert any fact you can to try and support that which is rationally unsupportable and demonstrably impossible. You are the cancer that is trying to kill humanity by endlessly retarding any intillectual growth and promoting the destruction of anything that doesn't agree with your self centered idiocy. You are the embodiment of egocentrism.
Please, do the entire world a favor and die.
It's people like you that prevent our society from progressing. It's people like you who stand in the way of science in the name of your stupid holy book because you can't comprehend anything else. It's people like you that kept humanity in the Dark Ages for so long and are trying to bring us back to it. After all of the struggles people like Galileo went through to get their ideas recognized instead of persecuted, you have a lot of balls to try to refute it with false religious pseudo-science.
I agree with DZG - people like you are like cancerous. Please don't reproduce.

Anyone spot the oxymoron?
"Galileo Was Wrong shows that the debate between Galileo and the Catholic Church was much more than a difference of opinion about the interpretation of Scripture. "
It was more complicated than that. Not in the insane way you're thinking though.
Ignoring facts by daylight
He is the one named Robert Sungenis...
He is the one named Robert Sungenis!
Fail.
Fucking hardcore fail.
How much of a moron do you have to be to deny the fact of a heliocentric solar system? We can observe other solar systems in our galaxy with the same configuration, ferfucksakes!
Indeed, the most telling truth revealed by the debate between Galileo and the Catholic Church is not the fact that Galileo was wrong, although that's important, but the fact that the Catholic Church was right.
The Catholic Church is always right. And when the Catholic Church says that it is more important to protect itself and the priests who bugger young boys rather than make a full and revealing investigation in to centuries of child abuse, then it must be right.
It is a little known fact, but when wizards, shamans, witchdoctors, priests and nuns are evil and commit criminal acts, they are not to be judged as ordinary people but are to be considered divine and are to be treated as Gods. After all, they are only doing what it says in their religious texts.
Well, you know, Galileo was wrong, what with not knowing about elliptical orbits and gravity and all ...
He wasn't as wrong as these clowns, though. Geocentrism, the idea that the entire universe revolves around ME, cos I'm special and Jesus wuvs me.
In the spirit of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I would like to suggest that ye are as thick as a mizenmast. Go to hell, hull or Halifax, ye gumpus!
"Geocentrism, the academic belief that the Earth is immobile in the center of the universe."
And, last but not least, Robert Sungenis wins the Oxymoron of the Week award for using Geocentrism and academic in the same sentence. Extra points were award as Robert is an actual moron.
I was going to ask if this scientific evidence from the last hundred years also proved that diseases were caused by demons, but then I realized that geocentricism is so ridiculous that it makes demonic possession look downright reasonable. The only way they could be any more ridiculous is if they claimed that recent scientific evidence shows that Erastophanes was wrong and that the earth is actually flat.
Heh. Darkfire win.
Interestingly, Prof. Bill Hill, back in the twelfth century when gay men in Europe started being persecuted the official church rules for a while were that a proven gay cleric would be relieved of any high position and sent off to a monastery to repent, and a layman proven gay would be executed.
One university badgered by nutcases has come up with the solution of introducing their 'original thinkers' to each other, noting the areas of similarity, and suggesting they produce a combined paper, working out the areas in which they are in agreement. The nuts are never heard from again.
Could someone please go to South Bend, In, to cover this conflab of nitwits? I wouldn't expect anyone to actually pay to attend, just hang around the lobby and take not of what sort of specimens actually attend.
Who do you consider "The Church"?
Because the Vatican removed Galileo's book from the Index of Forbidden Books in 1758, and formally accepted that the Earth rotates around the Sun in 1820 (and that was very overdue, since every Catholic astronomer since the end of the 17th century recognized that it was the case).
If you don't believe me, go ask the Vatican Observatory.
You can spew incoherent bullshit as much as you want, but don't lie about what the Roman Catholic Church teaches.
No, the most stable model of the universe is my Hardware-and-Beer-centric model, in which the Earth, Sun and other celestial bodies are firmly nailed onto a gigantic piece of plywood. Any apparent motion of such bodies is clearly the product of excessive drink, thereby disqualifying any observers who claim to see the Sun and Moon 'rise' or 'set'.
Now then, Mr. Sungenis, prove your model is more logically cogent than mine...
"Galileo Was Wrong is a detailed and comprehensive treatment of the scientific evidence supporting Geocentrism, the academic belief that the Earth is immobile in the center of the universe."
There is no such evidence, scientific or otherwise. It's also not an academic belief unless you happen to be living in the Middle Ages.
"Garnering scientific information from physics, astrophysics, astronomy and other sciences, Galileo Was Wrong shows that the debate between Galileo and the Catholic Church was much more than a difference of opinion about the interpretation of Scripture."
Well, yes, I suppose. Unfortunately for the Church, Galileo kicked their ass which is typically what happens when you pit superstition against empirical evidence.
"Scientific evidence available to us within the last 100 years that was not available during Galileo's confrontation shows that the Church's position on the immobility of the Earth is not only scientifically supportable, but it is the most stable model of the universe and the one which best answers all the evidence we see in the cosmos."
You're joking. Right?
You know, in an age when we've explored outer space (albeit to a relatively small degree), you'd think anything about trying to prove Galileo wrong is kind of moot.
@ London Jew --
Well, you know, Galileo was wrong, what with not knowing about elliptical orbits and gravity and all ...
Science: the constant struggle to become slightly less wrong than you used to be. (...and it works quite well when done right.)
Don't be an idiot. No academic (other than your pseudo fundie version) would believe that the earth is immobile in the centre of the universe for the very good reason that it patently isn't.
Indeed, there is so much evidence to prove your version wrong that I doubt that even the Church (unless it is the Church of the Terminally Moronic) would take your view of the universe.
Really, for sheer bloody stupidity this post wins the day's Golden Idiot Prize.
whatever
"Geocentrism, the academic belief that the Earth is immobile in the center of the universe."
Anyone spot the oxymoron?
I know it was meant to be a rhetorical question but seeing as so many failed at answering it correctly (much to my surprise)...
The oxymoron is "academic belief", dingae.
Very often, young men will seek advice from Gordon Godsboy's Advisory Clinic and Prayer Club. Occasionally a young man will ask, "Dear Gordon and advisors, I am a confused young man with strange desires, would you be able to recommend a suitable job for me or at least point me in the right direction?" I immediately recognize the signs of a sexual deviant in need of counseling. My advice to the young man would be to become a Catholic priest. There are many opportunities in the Roman Catholic Church for the up and coming sexual deviant and the training and support services are superb, particularly if your main deviation is the buggery of young lads. This is a very secure job, a job for life usually, with many opportunities for promotion and travel. Immunity from paying for your crimes is first class and just one of the many perks of the job. And if you progress to become a top wizard or a major sorcerer in the Catholic Church, you get to wear top class wizardry apparel. So, in summation, all you strange young fellows with, shall we say, interesting interests, why not apply to the Roman Catholic Church, I believe they are having some kind of recruitment drive at the moment.
Um, yeah. The earth doesn't move and is the center of the universe because of a book written several thousand years ago by guys who thought the earth was flat, the sky rested on pillars, the sun, moon, & stars moved through the atmosphere, and rain came from floodgates in a ceiling of the sky. I can either believe them, or scientists who change theories based on new evidence. Hmmm...
Scientific evidence available to us within the last 100 years that was not available during Galileo's confrontation shows that the Church's position on the immobility of the Earth is not only scientifically supportable, but it is the most stable model of the universe and the one which best answers all the evidence we see in the cosmos.
You mean like the data from Hubble and Voyager which shows the Earth following similar orbital paths to every other planet in the solar system?
@1210100
Better late than never, I suppose. They're still behind the good people of Pisa, though, who named their city's airport after Galileo. I doubt that Robert A.Sungenis would get a sewage farm named for him, on the other hand.
You...must be kidding me.
Someone's gotta fill the lower part of the IQ curve, though, I guess.
If the universe moves around the Earth every 24 hours, then most of it is travelling faster than the speed of light.
How does that work? Some sort of Star Trek technology perhaps?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
