Hard, scientific proof that the Earth is the center of the universe. [Here is one example…](http://www.fixedearth.com/Size_and_Structure%20Part%20IV.htm) photographic evidence of the stars proves the universe is revolving around the Earth! I heard about this because apparently, a [Georgia legislator](http://www.jacksonville.com/apnews/stories/021507/D8NAEELG0.shtml) has a memo about how evolution is a Jewish conspiracy, with a link to this website. :eek: Happy Friday! ---

> [@](#): > > Well (…that failed attempt at levity aside), this universally accepted explanation for this phenomena that we can watch with our own eyes and record on our own film is always the same. That is to say, we are assured that what we see and record with our cameras is an illusion caused by the Earth rotating on an axis in an East to West direction at an equatorial speed of c. 1040 MPH. Okay, so far so good. > [@](#): > > This universally accepted “explanation” is pure assumption! It is an “explanation” without the first piece of indisputable evidence to support it…and it is in denial of the plentiful evidence that rejects it! > > The untouched photos themselves plainly and precisely “explain” what happens to the stars every 23 hours and 56 minutes, namely: They go around a stationary Earth! What we’ve all been taught is an “explanation” is–in fact–just one of seven interdependent assumptions which all interact to uphold the moving Earth mythology! Uh huh. Hard to explain those pesky planets, though, isn’t it? They seem to just wander all over the damn place, almost as if they’re revolving around something…but what? _But what??_ ---

Why, the Earth of course! Just look at the evidence!! :smack: I am always entertained by the beauty of the internet. To paraphrase Q, it offers sensations to satisfy desires both sublime and gross. Hee hee hee. ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > Have we made fun of this website yet? [Yes](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=408500), actually. But hey, there can never be too much ridicule of morons like that, if you ask me, so carry on. 🙂 ---

Voted best website of the 16th century. Who am I to disagree? It was a hot button topic at the time. I understand Gallileo hacked the site and for about three hours it simply displayed the repeated message, “Marshall Hall is teh Ghey.” Good times. ---

:smack: OK I’ve read through some of it. I gotta say, I’m not convinced. I loved the explanation that electromagnitism is infinitely stronger than gravity. > [@](#): > > Electromagnetic forces are infinitely more powerful than gravity…” (HERE, p. 4). As we know, a child can test this statement with a plain magnet or an electromagnet and a coin on the ground. Gravity holds the coin on the ground, but pass the magnet over it at some appropriate height and…. Oh, and those are their ellipses - not mine. They don’t finish the statement. It should read"some appropriate height and NOTHING HAPPENS". Maybe in the 1600’s, when this kind of crap was accepted, they had Fe coins. Maybe in their fantasy land, they use Fe currency. Maybe I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about… ---

Depends on which coins he’s referring to. Our (Canadian) dimes, quarters and two dollar pieces all contain ferrous metals. ---

What the hell is it with these nutballs and the eye bludgeoning, mind assaulting colors and wonky fonts? Is this what their thoughts look like? Are they just projecting the chaos in their heads onto the net?
