		Modern Flat Earthers, who follow a highly literal belief in the Bible, and deny that the Earth is spherical.
		Modern Geocentrism, which accepts the spherical earth, but denies heliocentrism (that the sun is the centre of the solar system rather than the Earth).
		A general response to the modern creationism controversy has been articulated by creationist Phillip E. Johnson, Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, who argues that the entire issue of biological origins has been framed in terms of naturalism, and that natural science per se is not identical with naturalism.

	Geocentrism
		This view is a metaphor, not to be confused with historic geocentrism, the pre-16th century view of the solar system/universe in which everything was thought to literally revolve around the earth at the center, or modern geocentrism, the religion-based continuation of that belief into modern times.
		Sustainable geocentrism is a perspective in which the health of the earth and all of its inhabitants is viewed as central in our lives, and all decisions and actions in life are made in a manner that ensures the earth’s healthy persistence.
		Sustainable geocentrism is the philosophy (spiritual or secular, depending on the individual) celebrating life to ensure the persistence of mankind and all life on earth.

	Modern geocentrism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term modern geocentrism refers to a belief currently held by certain groups that the Earth is the center of the universe and does not move.
		The Ptolemaic model of the solar system held sway into the early modern age; from the late 16th century onward it was gradually replaced as the consensus description by the the heliocentric model.
		Modern geocentrists often quote these works which seem to admonish that scriptural references about geocentrism not be interpreted as allegorical or phenomenological since such an interpretation could lead to the appearance that the Holy Spirit (the inspirer of the Scriptures) to be lying.

		In modern usage, the term creationism has come to be specifically associated with the brand of conservative Christian fundamentalism which rejects various aspects of evolution, geology, cosmology, and other natural sciences that address the origins of the natural world.
		This view accepts most of modern physical science including the age of the earth, but rejects much of modern evolutionary biology or looks to it for evidence that evolution by natural selection alone is incorrect.
		Evolutionary modern synthesis is the theory that fits all known biological and genetic evidence while being backed up by overwhelming evidence in the fossil record.

	Geocentrism - EvoWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Geocentrism has existed since time immemorial as part of the ubiquitous pre-scientific flat-earth view, but even after the discovery of the Earth's approximate sphericity, geocentrism was still almost universally accepted.
		Modern geocentrism is not very significant in the antievolution movement, but some geocentrists, such as Paul Ellwanger and Tom Willis, have been behind the equal time bills.
		Modern geocentrists include Dr G D Bouw, Marshall Hall, Malcolm Bowden (author of "The Rise of the Evolution Fraud"), James Hanson, Tom Willis, Paul Ellwanger, R G Elmendorf, Paula Haigh, and Robert Sungenis (the last four being Catholics).

	Geocentrism and Creation
		Ironically, the dominant geocentric theory of history, the Ptolemaic system, was devised primarily as a tool to calculate planetary positions in the past and future as an aid for astrological prognostications.
		Therefore, modern geocentrists teach that the heliocentric model is wrong because ungodly men originated it, but fail to apply the same standard to their favored geocentric theory.
		Geocentric arguments are predicated upon a rejection of modern relativity theory, based on ignorance of what it teaches.

	Informat.io on Creation According To Genesis
		Note that the chapter divisions in modern Bibles were added in the 13th century C.E. and are not in the original text.
		Modern textual critics posit that the first two chapters of Genesis are a composite of two different literary strands: the "Jehovist" (10th century BC), and the "Priestly" (7th century BC); and that the strands were compiled by an unknown redactor (but often suspected to be Ezra).
		Prior to the modern era, factors that would have made correction difficult included mass illiteracy, hand copying of manuscripts prior to the printing press, early rules preventing translations of the scriptures into common languages, church discouragement and punishment of critical analysis of scripture, and the church's canonization of texts as they were.

		Today, geocentric cosmology survives in the work of some creationist fundamentalist Protestant elements of Christianity, as well as literary treatments within alternate history science fiction.
		The geocentric model entered astronomy and philosophy at an early point; it can be found in Pre-socratic philosophy.
		But not only religions are in favour of geocentrism: one of the greatest modern philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche, also believed in geocentrism (see paragraph 12 of his book Beyond good and evil).

	Geocentrism: Robert Sungenis and Flogging a Pink Unicorn
		Against my better judgement, I agreed to post a summary of the arguments that demonstrate that geocentrism (the doctrine that the earth is the unmoving centre of the universe) is not a tenable hypothesis for a reasonable person with a moderate knowledge of modern physics.
		In Newtonian mechanics, geocentrism cannot be true for many physical reasons; in General Relativity the centre of the universe has no meaning, so to claim that the earth is the centre of the universe is meaningless; in neither system can the earth be said to be the unmoving centre of the universe.
		I’ll also argue that the promotion of geocentrism is unnecessary for salvation, is contrary to reason, and represents a major source of scandal, calling ridicule down on the Church and the Faithful.

	THE "PARABLE" OF GEOCENTRISM
		For to be at the center meant in effect to be at the lowest rung in the ladder of influences that begin in the divinity which lies outside the spheres.
		But taken with the idea of the microcosm, geocentrism reminds man that objective reality contains many kinds of influences that can act upon us, that there is a scale of being to which man is born would he but search for it as diligently as he pursues the satisfaction of external life.
		It is we who imagine that geocentrism was merely a balm for the ego and a primitive astronomical theory.

	Geocentric model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some Jewish, and Muslim religious fundamentalists still interpret their scripture as stating that the Earth is the physical center of the universe—known as modern geocentrism.
		Astrologers, while they may not believe in geocentrism as a principle, still employ the geocentric model in their calculations.
		Richard Garfinkle's Celestial Matters (1996) is set in a more elaborated geocentric cosmos, where Earth is divided by two contending factions, the Classical Greece-dominated Delian League and the (Chinese) Middle Kingdom, both of which are capable of flight within an alternate universe based on Ptolemaic astronomy, Aristotle's physics and Taoist thought.

	Modern geocentrism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern geocentrists subscribe to the view that a literal reading of the Bible contains an accurate account of the manner in which the universe was created and requires a geocentric worldview.
		For this reason, modern geocentrists are also creationist and creation scientists however, they also argue against modern views of celestial mechanics.

		Old-Earth creationism is less radical and more widespread in the United States, accepting parts of modern scientific analysis while maintaining that Genesis is a literal account of the beginning of the world.
		Some tenets of creationism are not at all compatible with the findings of modern science, while others allow for a reinterpretation of the Bible in view of what some perceive as scientific proof.

	Henry Morris Denies Geocentrism
		They demonstrate no knowledge of the fact that the earth is merely one of nine planets (not even the largest planet), all spinning like tops and circling round the sun.
		ATTEMPT #2: Morris' second attempt at denying the Bible's geocentrism is based on Luke 17:34-36, which he says implies "the rotation of the earth." He admits that this verse only implies rather than states outright that the earth moves.
		He's stuck between a rock and a hard place, because he won't abandon his belief that the Bible is "the basis for modern science," and at the same time he accepts all the scientific evidence in favor of heliocentrism.
