[To be honest, I doubt it. I know of no observations that show apes of any sort other than humans keeping track of the sky for calendrical/religious purposes, which is, if I recall, how other planets were discovered to begin with. I would suspect they may be able to use the sun to navigate, however (apes tend to be diurnal), much like many other animals.]
It's not hard to criticize you Carico. You know absolutely nothing, like that a star is thousands+ of times bigger than even a very large planet.
Carico FTT: "Sorry, but look on the web and see that there is confusion in today's society about whether the sun rotates around the earth as well. After all, motion is relative to stationary objects. But if both objects are moving, especially if we are living on a moving or rotating object, then it's difficult to determine if the sun is moving or not."
The sun is stationary RELATIVE TO US. It's like being on a teacup ride: each cup can spin or not, and a small set of them rotate on a disk around a common center. The center is like the sun, the cup is like the earth. THEN the center of those rotating disks is rotating around another center. Both the "sun" and the "earth" are moving, but it is not confusing to determine what is rotating around what else.
The confusion you cite is not mainstream. The sun-centered fact has been suspected since long before Copernicus, and there is of course evidence for it (like being able to calculate the positions of the planets accurately far in advance).
I'm not going to go through the whole thread, but this is just too much:
"Sorry but you need to read Christ's parables. The parable itself is alway true and so is the spiritual meaning behind it. If the parable itself were not true, then the meaning behind it couldn't be true either. So read Christ's parables next time before you post."
A parable does not have to be true. It doesn't even have to be plausible, though I'm sure that helps drive the message home better.
