| | Geocentric model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In spiritual or religious terms, today it is often considered that Earth and/or humanity are the spiritual centre(s) of the universe, and that Scripture may be interpreted as such. | | | The geocentric model (in Greek: geo = earth and centron = centre) of the universe is a paradigm which places the Earth at its center. | | | At this time, geocentrism is rejected in scientific and popular opinion; and it is believed that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system, but not the universe (see Heliocentrism), so a better term for the modern view is geokineticism (i.e. |

| | The Scriptural Basis for a Geocentric Cosmology |
| | Surely, no true believer in the Scriptures -- the divine and unerring word of God -- would accept the scientific notion that we live in place that is not special in the eyes of our Creator. | | | The most important biblical quote supporting a geocentric universe can be found in the Book of Joshua. | | | An essay that explores a few of the many scientific misconceptions of the Bible from its flat-earth geocentricity to its strange descriptions of human physiology. |

| | SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OF GEOCENTRICITY |
| | Bowden also notes that to hold a geocentric position is to open oneself up to abuse even from creationists who will think that you are discrediting the whole argument. | | | I know that you did not learn this in public school, but this is what the Bible teaches. | | | [Note: When I sent out an e-mail concerning geocentricity (see end of this page), I received a pretty hostile response from professing Bible believers though a handful were already aware of geocentrism. |

| | Both are based on the same kind of scientific evidence and on a more or less literal interpretation of the Bible. | | | Astronomer James N. Hanson once wound up a geocentric lecture by saying, “Geocentricity is correct, because that’s what the Bible teaches.” An unidentified lady responded, “I am overwhelmed. | | | But I believe everything you say, because I believe in the inerrancy of the Bible.” |

| | Science and the Bible |
| | Among the Semitic ancients, the notion of a geocentric universe was common. | | | Certainly, the ancient Semites had no use for such theories, and consequently the Bible reflects a geocentric universe and a flat earth. | | | Unfortunately, these ideas were not widely disseminated outside of the Mediterranean, and they soon fell into disuse, being replaced by the Ptolemaic geocentric theory. |

| | The finding of his that sparked the great controversy with the Catholic Church was, however, Galileo's defense of Copernicus's rejection of the Ptolemaic geocentric universe. | | | Without the principle of a singular moved mover, it was also conceivable that God could have "started" the world, then left it to move on its own. | | | Galileo used a telescope he had designed to confirm the hypothesis of the heliocentric system. |

| | In the realm of faith, Protestant reformers like Martin Luther (1483-1546) and Jean Calvin (1509-1564) were undermining Catholic tradition and authority, and arguing for a much more literal interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. | | | And in the realm of science, astronomers were wrestling with the difficult question of whether to retain Claudius Ptolemy's (c.100-c.170 AD) ancient "geocentric" universe, which had all the planets circling the Earth, or adopt the new "heliocentric" system of Nicolaus Copernicus(1473- 1543), where planets and Earth circled the Sun. | | | Surprising as it may seem to the modern reader, in the 16th century there was no observational test or proof available for either of the two theories. |

| | Geocentric (Ptolemaic) Perspective - Retrograde Epicyclic Motion - Scientific Revolution - Professor Robert A. Hatch |
| | Because the earth is assumed to be fixed and stable in the center of the cosmos (geocentric and geostatic), and further, all heavenly bodies are assumed to move around the central earth, some device was needed to describe the apparent retrograde loop that planets make when in opposition to the sun. | | | Here the earth is depicted in the center of a planetary orbit, for example Mars. | | | In sum, from a geocentric perspective, retrograde motion was one of the major astronomical problems requiring attention in order to 'save the appearances.' To this end, Ptolemy's model was unsurpassed for simplicity, accuracy, and elegance until Copernicus some 1400 years later. |
