According to relativity theory, which is not wholly accepted, but is the current most widely recognized model of physics, there is no prefered frame of reference." Here we have a classic example of a religionist misquoting science in order to ridicule it. Anyone who bothers to actually *read* relativity theory will notice that, in fact, inertial frames of reference are preferred to non-inertial frames. There is no inertial frame of reference in which the Earth is at the center of the universe. -- Andrew Klossner (decvax!teklabs!tekecs!andrew) [UUCP] (andrew.tektronix@rand-relay) [ARPA]
