I doubt the church still believes in an earth centered galaxy anymore. At first, they accepted the sun centered theory, but were trying to say that earth was the only planet that didn't revolve around the sun.

i personally do not believe in a God. I believe in science, and the search for all that it entails.

I'm sick of everyone trying to prove themselves right on a subject such as faith which by its very nature cannot be proven through any sort of fact-based logic. When people believe things because they have faith it is next to impossible to convince them that they are wrong, and when people have a more secular outlook it is impossible for them to understand the people who make faith-based arguments.
Agree to disagree and leave it at that because all you're doing is blowing steam up each other's asses.
