Science is not an entity therefore it's not teaching anyone anything. Clarify what it is that you're asking because it doesn't make sense. Are you asking whether it is accepted fact that the Earth revolves around the sun?
Ugh! I hate these tangents, but you say some crazy sh!t that I can't let go sometimes... I'm splitting it off from this thread. Go reply over there and resume talking about homosexuality here.

I'm saying someone with 20/21st century science education would never, ever claim the Earth revolves around the Sun. The Sun and the Earth orbit each other. It's just that the Earth's gravitational pull compared to the Sun is so small that it has virtually no effect on the motion of the Sun. The Sun might be at the centre of the solar system but it isn't the centre. The gravitational forces of each planet affect each other so at any given time, the centre of the solar system is changing.

Does science actually teach that the Earth revolves around the sun? I don't know where you and Siggie get your science knowledge from but it's not from text books.

But they did lock you up or torture you if you said something stupid like the earth goes around the sun I mean even to this day the church loves to insist on Creationism! People actually want it taught in schools!!!!

History reveals the Church never taught a flat Earth and the bible doesn't teach a flat Earth.

Have you been eating those special brownies again?

Attempting humor at the expense of the poster rather than making a substantive comment again?

Re: I am an Azeri and GAY. Not sure if feminine or masculine.

So, you don't disagree with the point I was making, but just one of the examples I used to try to illustrate that point. Not because it doesn't support the point, but rather because it "makes it sound" a certain way. If that's your issue, then go start another thread and rant about how widespread the belief in a flat Earth was at various points in history or what the church did or didn't teach regarding the shape of the Earth.

I see you are a great scientist and you indirectly claim the opposite. And you are talking only on scientific terms. But I don’t want to listen/consider you sci-entific findings/propaganda on that.

So you have nothing to offer when I point out the illogical argument you made and so you want to take issue with me being a scientist. Got it, thanks!

If a tree falls down in the forest and nobody is around to see or hear it, is it still a fact? I'm disagreeing because the argument you're using makes it sound like prior to the American Empire and its minions taking over the world, majority of people believed the Earth was flat. History reveals the Church never taught a flat Earth and the bible doesn't teach a flat Earth.

Do you believe facts are determined by the number of people who think it fact? If the answer to this question is 'no' then stop it with the contrarian disagreement for the sake of disagreeing with something and distracting from the point.

Re: I am an Azeri and GAY. Not sure if feminine or masculine.

Sure it does, you have no basis in stating that most people believed the Earth was flat when they were taught and knew it was round. Like I said, the idea of people believing that the Earth was ever flat was a 20th century myth.



Most educated people in Turkey (those that have worldly education) know very well that there was a genocide. It's the state and the government teaching that teaches a different history so anyone that hasn't developed past a high school education probably won't advance their views any further.
