There are as many theories as there are scientists. They're called speculation, not facts. That just shows that scientists are as confused as anyone else whod doesn't believe in God.

The sun is stationary and the earth orbits around it. But the earth also rotates as it orbits. At least that's what scientists say. But since they change their minds every decade, then everything they say should be taken with a grain of salt.

In another post she claims the sun ALSO rotates around the earth.
Here it is, from my own personal stash...

Just when I think you've stooped as low as you can go... What color is the sky on your planet? Can you see earth from where you are now?

When I read a post from carico, I can imagine a pot of cheese boiling. I don't know why.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

[Monty Python, The Meaning of Life]

“There are as many theories as there are scientists.”
No, there really aren’t. If X is the number of theories of, say, the age of the sun among astrophysicists, adding Y biologists to the study does not mean there are X + Y theories of the age of the sun among scientists.

“They're called speculation, not facts.”
Well, no. There ARE facts, which the theories are based upon. Everyone uses the same facts so there’s not THAT much variation in the theories.
And the speculation, in science, is where we get hypotheses, not theories.

“That just shows that scientists are as confused as anyone else whod doesn't believe in God.”
You’re just being bigoted, now.

“The sun is stationary and the earth orbits around it.”
Depending on your point of reference, but yes.

“But the earth also rotates as it orbits. At least that's what scientists say.”
Do you have a non-superstitious reason to question it?

“But since they change their minds every decade, then everything they say should be taken with a grain of salt.”
Hmm. I’ve been alive for six decades and they haven’t changed their mind about Earth rotation in that time… Maybe even MORE!
