Galileo Was Wrong is a detailed and comprehensive treatise that demonstrates from the scientific evidence that heliocentrism (the concept that the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun) is an unproven scientific theory; and that geocentrism (the view that the Earth is in the center of the universe and does not move by either rotation or revolution) is not only supported by the scientific evidence but is admitted to be a logical and viable cosmology by many of the world's top scientists, including Albert Einstein, Ernst Mach, Edwin Hubble, Fred Hoyle and many more.

I am more afraid now for the future of humanity than I have ever been
September 13, 2010
By Jimmy Page
Format:CD-ROM
Honestly... the future of humanity is now officially looking more and more like "Idiocracy" than I ever thought possible.
Geocentricism? In 2010? Are you kidding me?!?
The fact that this has any reviews higher than 1 star only adds to my worry. This is pathetic. The fact that anyone could be so retarded (yes, I said it) to STILL think that the earth is the center of the Universe and the sun revolves around it is just... well, there are no words.
We prove the heliocentric model every time a satellite completes an orbit of our planet, every time we send a rocket into space, every time one of our space telescopes or earth-based telescopes takes a picture of space, and so on. Relativity proves it, physics proves it, astronomy proves...
I looked up the organization, too... unfortunately, I can't write this off as a Poe, as badly as I want to. This is pathetic... somehow, it's worse than Young-Earth Creationism. Don't ask me how, but it is. These people are seriously a danger to the education of future generations. I hope the movement eventually dies off because the future generations get smarter and leave it behind for the incredible level of stupid it is.

The book does nothing to support geocentrism. It's a shell game and a long winded trick of semantics, nothing more. The "Model" ultimately described is one that largely conforms to a heliocentric model. All the book really does is ask the reader to pretend the Earth is stationary and that everything else moves pretty much the way science says it does. The book doesn't support anything. It just asks people to squint their eyes and pretend things are different than they really are.

As a physicist and one who for a time worked on spacecraft navigation this book strikes me as something out of a Gilbert & Sullivan operatic panspiel. NASA and JPL just recently put a robot on the surface of Mars, and the navigation was computed using Newtonian mechanics of a heliocentric solar system. Regardless of how one tries to wordsmith a geocentric theory, this would not be possible if Ptolemy were indeed right.
I am not sure how Sungenis interprets the most distant universe, but presumably this can only be interpreted as some sort of image from a spherical TV-like screen. If God set that up he did a good job of confusing us.
Robert Sungenis is president of Catholic Apologetics International where theists of this sort who make these ridiculous conclusions are in the end working hard to convert their religion into a dead myth.
This is a symptom of a regrettable social trend in the United States and the rest of the world as well. There is a continuing retrograde social movement, which includes pseudo-science such as creationism and here geocentrism. This also includes retro-politics, such as Scalia's textual ideology about the Constitution, ideas about going back to gold standards and repeals of a growing array of civil rights. Outside the US we are seeing Islamic ideology that pines for the 10th century and a range of nations which have retreated from the world into totalism or theocracy, such as Iran. The Catholic Church is similarly retreating, it is moving away from Vatican II. Now according to Sungenis it needs to reject Galileo again.
Geocentrism is anthrocentrism. We have learned that the universe is vast in both space and time. It is a far grander affair than the little concentric orb idea Ptolemy came up with. Many people are reacting against this for a number of reasons, clearly that it strikes against some theological ideas and further that it seems to put us in a position as just one tiny set of threads in a grand tapestry of threads. We are no longer the center of things, and this makes people insecure. However, the universe as we know it is far more fascinating.
This stuff bears watching. Surveys have found that a quarter of Americans are confused about the issue of whether the Earth orbits the sun or the sun orbits the Earth. There are plenty of people who might buy into this. Then at some point there will be demands for equal time in classrooms.
It should be worth mentioning that I have read Ptolemy Algemest. It is a very difficult book, for it makes extensive use of Euclid's elements in ways that are very rococo. I have also read Copernicus, and his is tough as well, but curiously easier.
