    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    I understand what you are saying more accurately now. I used your last diagram as a basis and added the parts that I was hung up about so that I could see both perspectives at once. But in the end we’re still talking about the same angle p. This cartoon wasn’t intended to prove anything, I...

    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    OK — I am now admitting I don’t understand your diagram at all. In my cartoon, I was trying to show how parallax is the change in the angle between a near star and a far star after two different readings. If there were no changes in their relative position — no parallax. if any changes at all...

    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    Now we're talking my language -- cartoons! Your model geocentric model enough said regarding original challenge. I've had enough on the topic of parallax. I'm fascinated with what I'm learning about quasars though. Again, thanks for the lead.

    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    Observing negative parallax doesn’t remove major criticism of Copernicus’ theory. sjastro said: Here’s Popov’s (my preferred model) conclusion when asked if his model can be used to reproduce the observation of the stellar parallax. sjastro said: Here’s Shack’s take on Bradley’s...

    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    I’m failing to understand your passionate point. “Let it be understood at the outset that it makes no difference, from the point of view of describing planetary motion, whether we take the Earth or the Sun as the center of the solar system. Since the issue is one of relative motion only, there...

    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    Your definition uses the term "planets revolving around the" Earth. So the Tychosium simulator and its model still fulfills the requirements of being geocentric. However, your definition is in error because it added the word “debunked” From what I can tell, based on your explanations and my...

    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    You say toe-mai-toe; I say toe-mah-toe How do planets that orbit the sun -- and the sun orbits the earth -- not orbit the earth too? You better give me the source for your definition of geocentric. I found the source for what both you and Simon Shack were referring to. To quote the...

    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    Shack’s model is still a geocentric model. In his model, the earth is only moving at less than 1 km per hour around a fixed point and not 30 km per second around the sun. I thought hearing an alternative argument from someone other than a Bible believing Christian might carry more weight in...

    Cosmologists intrigued by signs the universe might stop expanding; influence of dark energy may be weakening

    I was already aware of the motion of the Earth in Simon Shack’s The Tychos simulation. His simulation model actually started me thinking several years ago about how the geocentric model has to be equivalent to the heliocentric model. My preferred model though is the neo-Tycho model of Luka...

    Do you mean the observed negative stellar parallax too? No problem! https://book.tychos.space/chapters/25-negative-parallax

    Anticline geological structures

    I understand ripples. I don’t understand how you can look at bended rocks and not see evidence for a global flood. As for “WE HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU”; you must be wrong. You’re wrong because Walt Brown’s theory not only provides explanations for almost everything we see, it doesn’t conflict...

    Anticline geological structures

    Thanks for the pics and the wiki link. I learn a lot of new stuff in this forum. I agree with your comment on the giant current ripples. But that doesn’t change the compelling evidence: the folding rock strata shown in your first pic was caused by the cataclysmic global flood. As the text...

    What is the accepted order in which Paul is said to have written his epistles?

    For what it's worth: I read William Ramsey's writings on Paul and Luke, and remembered he had Galatians as Paul's first letter. I didn't try to find it again, but I did ask chatGPT and it helped me with the details. =============================== my question: which year did William Ramsey...

    Scientists speak out about evidence of Intelligent Design in nature..

    here's an alternative based on science and Bible: … biblical chronology falls into place, give or take 100 years: the flood began in 3290 B.C. The creation was in 5532 B.C, 6 and the Earth is 7,500 ± 100 years old. reference: In the Beginning Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood...
