In fact, most of it is worse, since at least it's possible to derive meaningful equations to describe local planetary motions even *with* the erroneous assumption of an earth-centered universe. Deriving equations to "prove" the sorts of religious drivel taught to youngsters at most religious "educational" institutions would be another matter entirely, to say the least. Please send all flames to net.religion, to which I do not subscribe... How did this discussion ever get onto net.misc, anyway? Cheers. --Lauren--
