Mr. Lundahl is a Geocentricist

After reading comments like the following from Lundahl (2022i), I wondered if Mr. Lundahl was a geocentricist:

“One evidence for them is what they do every day and night (unless you take the Heliocentric cop-out without any visible evidence that it's just Earth turning around itself), and another one is the historical evidence for what they did.”

So I asked Mr. Lundahl in an email on July 2, 2022 at 9:43 am, Eastern US Time, if he was a geocentricist:

“By the way, are you a geocentricist?

A: Yes

B: No

C: Undecided”

In an email response on July 3, 2022 at 11:18 AM US Eastern Time, Mr. Lundahl admitted that he was a geocentricist:

“A - Definite yes.

Hans Georg Lundahl”

He later asked that I prominently display his geocentric beliefs on my website. I gladly did so.

Of course, I totally reject geocentricism. The laws of physics demand heliocentrism. Heliocentrism and the rotation of the Earth are also consistent with our evidence on how the Solar System formed. We could debate this topic further, but after numerous exchanges over several months, Mr. Lundahl has failed to provide any reasonable evidence for the Talking Snake of Genesis 3. Thus, I doubt that any discussions on geocentrism would go anywhere. At this point, I’m not willing to go off on another tangent. The following website uses astrophysics and other disciplines to thoroughly refute geocentricism and the reader can go there and evaluate the issue in greater detail:

Here are a few astronomy books that discuss the physics of the Solar System and its origin:

Beatty, J.K., C.C. Petersen, and A. Chaikin (eds). 1999. The New Solar System: Sky Publishing Corporation: Cambridge, MA, USA and Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, MA, USA, 421pp.

Bennett, J., M. Donahue, N. Schneider, and M. Voit. 2014. The Cosmic Perspective: Stars, Galaxies, & Cosmology: Pearson: Boston, MA, USA.

Chaisson, E. and S. McMillan. 2005. Astronomy Today, 5^th ed., Pearson-Prentice Hall: Upper Saddle River, NJ, USA.

Freedman, R.A. and W.J. Kaufmann III. 2002. Universe: 6^th ed., W.H. Freeman and Co., New York, NY, USA.

Nevertheless, I do agree with geocentricists on one issue. The Bible supports it (Reinfort 2019). For me, that’s another good reason not to believe the Bible.
