Heliocentric Theology teaches that the earth orbits nothing before the sun was created.
The only problem is gravity.
No sun = No Earth orbit.
You have to accept creation & reject Heliocentrism. Or accept Heliocentrism and reject Creation.
You can't have both. https://t.co/m31o3lpcd9

Well, I mean, IF the Heliocentric theory taught that, you would be right to dismiss it. But like other idiots who argue against positions no one holds, you would be incorrect.
The sun predates the earth by a large number of years, the planets and other things orbiting the sun cam from an accretion disc of material around the young star that eventually coalesced into the various celestial bodies. Sometimes they would collide with each other. Sometimes other objects hurtling through space would.
But that's more or less irrelevant because no one who is educated on the science (I hate saying believe like this idiot does, all religious nuts try to force beliefs into it, not knowledge based on evidence) thinks that the Earth was just sitting there before the sun proofed into existence and started dragging the planet along for a ride.
That’s a very common issue not just with fundies but with far-right conservatives and bigots in general (I know, I know, the Venn diagram between all 3 is almost a circle) - they don’t meaningfully distinguish knowledge and belief, and instead of bothering to learn what anyone not like them knows or believes, they extrapolate it from their own ignorance.

Heliocentrism means the sun is the center of the universe. I hope that’s not what you meant.
Relativity means there’s no such thing as a center of anywhere, aside from the center of gravity between any two objects.
Yes, if you strawman it as “just like my dogma, but with this one thing replaced by how it’s in reality”.
OH BRO-THER! THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS! It’s… what Bastethotep said!
Also; THE… BIBLICAL… CREATION… STORY… IS… NOT…. MEANT… TO… BE… TAKEN… LITERALLY!
The Church since its earliest days has known this!
“Heliocentric Theology teaches that the earth orbits nothing before the sun was created.
The only problem is gravity.”
“You have to accept creation & reject Heliocentrism. Or accept Heliocentrism and reject Creation.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
