‘Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou
set down the reason thereof on the earth? Who can
declare the order of the heavens or who can make
the harmony of heaven to sleep?’ — (Job. 38:33-37).
‘Give me but one firm point on which to stand, and I will move the earth’ wrote Archimedes (287-212BC); unwittingly coining for posterity the problem asked of Job (man) above. Let me explain. In the Bible, God occasionally makes important statements by way of questions. In the Book of Job, the Creator tells pride-prone man that we are intellectual inferiors when compared to the great mystery that is Him and His creation. Here above we find Job being asked if he knows the order of the cosmos, by what means it is so ordered and reminding him that it is He alone who created it, fully understands it, and maintains it.
No doubt most believe modern science has, or will, figured out the full nature of the universe, its origins and laws and that its movements are caused by ‘gravity’. The truth of course is that the above challenge is as valid today as it was in Job’s time and will remain so if man thinks he can reason it all out by himself. One of the problems for man’s science is the phenomenon of space. The simple fact is that in space there is no ‘empirical’ way of knowing the true order of the universe and therefore its laws, for the simple reason that unless we know for certain of a body in it that is fixed, ‘a firm point’ against which all celestial movements can be identified, then it is impossible to prove if it is geocentric or heliocentric. This insurmountable problem is called relative movement in space, and this simple relativity was once, and has become again, an accepted fact by all of sane and sound reason. Only if we could position ourselves outside the universe and look back at it would it be possible for us to see the true order and harmony of its many movements. But because we are confined within our place and are never likely to reach beyond the stars for the purpose of observation and communication, our view of the order for universe will always be little more than guesswork. ( This concept can be recognised by modern academics through Kurt Gödel’s second incompleteness theorem, that full validity of a system, including a scientific one, cannot be demonstrated within that system itself.)
Warp. Little do you know but you are barking up a false tree. Who told you that from inside a system you can determine the order of it. It would be like a man inside a watch trying to figure out its mechanism. The pictures you are showing everyone do not show a heliocentric system. If the universe is moving around the earth you will get the very same pictures.
And there lies the big problem with Copernican thought. So biased are you in youir thinking you cannot comprehend the two sides of relativity. If you could be neutral for an hour, and try to be objective for once, remember that there are two ways to describe the one phenomenon, a H way and a G way. So producing the H way and calling it a proof shows a lack of understanding.
