	"What's  amusing  is  that  scientific doctrine  has  changed
	and  no one seems to have noticed.  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.
