Ok, i've tried searching for a topic about this, but after a few pages, i got lazy.
I keep seeing others, even believers (or at least so-called) stating, "The Bible says that, the earth is the center of the universe." I'm pretty sure the Bible does not speak of such a thing, and i also have some confidence that it might speak against such a thing. But my memory is failing me here. I would like to know if anyone could state these verses that say it is, and any arguments against this statement.

Some interpreted some scripture earlier in Chrisitian history to support the earth at the center. Their interpretation of Scripture was wrong then and the very few who attempt to do so now are wrong as well.

Dogmatism is the comfortable intellectual framework of self-righteousness. Self-righteousness is more decadent than the worst sexual sin. ~ Dan Allender

Bart you and wikipedia are both wrong! The centre (and note the correct British English ), is the person you love the most. And just who do you think that is going to be on this forum! Where would men be without us females to set them right.
