Thank
the Triune God that the Earth is NOT moving!! |
Staticearth.net—a GREAT site exposing HELLiocentricity
When the earth does move it is called an EARTHQUAKE!!
ALL 3 divine Persons: Father, Word and Holy Spirit were involved in creating the STATIONARY EARTH.
God the Father was the prime mover in creating the universe:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1).
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:2).
In 6 days, the Word (Jesus Christ) spoke ALL creation into existence:
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:3).
St. Patrick's Breastplate says:
| I
bind unto myself the name, The strong name of the Trinity; By invocation of the same. The Three in One, and One in Three, Of whom all nature hath creation, Eternal Father, Spirit, Word: Praise to the Lord of my salvation, salvation is of Christ the Lord. |
When the stationary earth was fully created in 6 days, God created male and female as a trinity of body, soul and spirit:
And God said, Let US make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26).
The Almighty was not referring to the United States in that verse but to the fact that was later revealed by the Word made flesh (Jesus Christ) that JEHOVAH was a Holy Trinity.
False "science" denies that the earth is stationary
St. Paul warned the Christians about the deceptive theory of evilution. This false "science" is held by the majority of "scientists" in the world today.
They don't dare get on a airplane if they pilot tells them he is going to allow for the rotation of the earth in navigating the plane.
St. Paul said:
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of SCIENCE FALSELY so called. (I Timothy 6:20).

The Holy Bible is a GEOCENTRIC Bible because it states that the Triune God created the stationary world on the 1st day and it was not until the 4th day that the sun and moon were created.
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. (Job 26:7).
The LORD (JESUS) reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished (stabilized), that it CANNOT BE MOVED. (Psalm 93:1).
Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. (I Chronicles16:30).
WYSIWYG — What you see is what you get!!
The Biblical geocentric model of the universe is called WYSIWYG—what you see is what you get...True science is supposed to be based on observation. We see the array of stars wheeling around the earth approximately daily, and we motorize our telescopes to follow their steady motion. We see the sun rising and setting daily. We see the planets doing roughly the same thing, and we see the moon following them on a somewhat different schedule, all revolving around the earth as our eyes testify.
There is no justification at all from what we observe to arbitrarily assume the stars to be fixed and the earth rotating. The beauty of geocentricity is that what you see is what you get! It is a simple and readily understandable scenario for those who are willing to believe what their eyes tell them, and make the mental transition back to the instinctive reference frame of a stationary earth.
Encyclopedia Britannica offers NO PROOF for a rotating earth!!
Many people consider the Encyclopedia Britannica the FINAL AUTHORITY on all scientific matters. No publication is as anxious to see the earth moving as the Rockefeller owned Britannica. So we won't be amiss if we consult this final authority on heliocentricity and see their PROOFS for the moving earth. Here is a quote from the New Encyclopedia Britannica:
Basic planetary data. The mean distance of Earth from the Sun is about 149,600,000 km (92,960,000 miles). The planet orbits the Sun at a speed of 29.8 km (18.5 miles) per second, making one complete revolution in 365.256 days. As it revolves around the Sun, Earth spins on its axis and rotates completely once every 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds. (New Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 4, p. 320).
You can search all 29 volumes of this final authority but you will look in vain for any PROOF for this revolution of the earth around the sun and its spinning on its axis every 24 hours. It is simply stated as DOGMA and to doubt is to be damned to a spinning hell forever by the "scientific" community.
The one proof they do offer is that the earth has a BULGE at the equator which they claim is caused by the earth spinning around for BILLIONS of years. Here is another quote from the final authority:
The centrifugal force of Earth's rotation makes the planet bulge at the Equator. Because of this, Earth has the shape of an oblate spheroid, being flatter near the poles than near the Equator. Correspondingly, one degree of latitude is longer in high latitudes than it is in low ones. (Britannica vol. 4, p. 320).
Ordinary mortals cannot see this bulge however as it is visible only to the editors of the Britannica articles.
The sun orbits the earth every 24 hours
|
The sun orbits the earth every 24 hours. |
According to the Book of Genesis, the sun was not created until the 4th day. The earth was created FIRST and is the center of the universe. Hundreds of verses refer to the sun as RISING and SETTING every day while not ONE verse ever refers to the earth as MOVING: "The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. (Ecclesiastes 1:5). "The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof (Psalm 50:1). |
Heliocentric "astronomers" greatly exaggerate the size of the solar system and the universe. They make the universe so big that it cannot possibly orbit the earth in 24 hours.
Take the sun for example, the ancient Greeks said that the sun was only about 3,000,000 miles (4,828.032 km) from the earth. This was the number given by Ptolemy and the great Arab astronomer al-Battani. Even Copernicus in his book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. gives the number at about 3,000,000 miles. The rotating earth people stuck a 9 in front of the 3 and with this mathematical sleight of hand we have a sun whose distance from the earth is exaggerated 30 times!!
The seasons are caused by the annual motion of the sun around the earth!!
As well as orbiting the stationary earth every 24 hours, the sun also follows a spiral orbit from north to south each year. That is what gives us the 4 seasons.
|
The annual north-south motion of the sun gives us the 4 seasons. |
Equinoxes, solstices, and tropics are the result of the north-south motion of the sun, starting with the vernal or spring equinox on March 21, the official beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere. On that day, the sun lies on the celestial equator. The word equinox refers to the fact that, on this day, the night is equal to the day: each is twelve hours long. The sun is directly above the equator, so its rays fall vertically down. Through March, April, and May, the sun moves north. On June 22, it reaches its most northerly point, 23 1/2° above the equator. In the northern hemisphere that day is called the summer solstice. It is the longest day of the year and the official beginning of summer. The sun lies on the circle of the earth called the Tropic of Cancer. |
On September 23, the sun, moving south, reaches the equator again. The day is again 12 hours long. That day is called the autumnal equinox and is the official beginning of autumn.
On December 22, the sun reaches its most southerly point. That day is called the winter solstice and is the official beginning of winter. The sun shines up from beneath the equator. At noon the sun is straight overhead at points on the earth's Tropic of Capricorn, 23 1/2° south of the equator. At that time, it is the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. The cycle again repeats itself and gives us our 4 seasons and the solar year.
The winter solstice occurs on June 22 in the southern hemisphere. 3 days later it is June 25 or "Christmas" day in the southern hemisphere. So merry Christmas to all down under!!!!
The moon orbits the earth every 24 hours and 50 minutes
The moon orbits the earth in about 24 hours and 50 minutes. This is called a lunar day. The resultant orbital lag between the sun and the moon causes the phases of the moon—and the TIDES.... It is the moon’s close proximity to us and the relatively strong gravitational effect it has on the earth that causes the OCEAN TIDES to follow the moon’s lunar schedule of 24 hours and 50 minutes per cycle.
In about one month, the sun and moon are again synchronized, and as a result, we have the new moon and the cycle repeats all over again.
|
The moon orbits the earth every 24 hours and 50 minutes. Like the sun, the moon follows a north-south spiral, but unlike the sun, this movement takes ONE MONTH. |
In a stationary earth, the moon HAS to orbit the earth about every 24 hours. Every night at full moon, everybody on earth can see the moon rise in the east and set in the west in a 12 hour period but they are told to attribute this motion to the moving of the earth. Here is a quote about the moon from the final authority, the Encyclopedia Britannica: "The Moon rotates about its own axis in 27.322 days, which is also the time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. As a result, the Moon always presents nearly the same face to the Earth. Whereas the actual rate of rotation is uniform, the distance through which the Moon moves in its orbit from day to day varies somewhat. Accordingly, the face that the Moon turns to Earth is subject to a corresponding cyclical variation, the lunar globe oscillating slightly (as seen over time by a terrestrial observer) with a period nearly equal to that of revolution. The amount of this apparent oscillation, which is called libration, is commonly between 6 and 7 degrees." (New Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 17, p. 299). |
The moon is composed of some highly reflective material that acts like a mirror. The best guess is frozen water or ice. Like the sun, the moon follows a north-south spiral, but unlike the sun, this movement takes ONE MONTH.
Solar and lunar "declinations"
The earth is NOT TILTED 23.45°degrees....It is UPRIGHT as God created man to walk UPRIGHT. The tilted earth probably came from Galileo as he looked through the telescope and saw that some of the planets were tilted in their orbits around the sun. A tilted EARTH could be an explanation for the seasons, he reasoned, as people were still apt to ask difficult questions about the reason for the seasons!!
Yearly spiral pathway of the sun as it rotates around the earth daily. |
Monthly spiral pathway of the moon as it rotates around the earth daily. |
The moon follows the sun's spiral orbit but instead of taking 1 YEAR it takes 1 MONTH to complete its north-south spiral. The moon and sun are not perfectly synchronized in their respective daily and north-south motion so that is why we do not get solar eclipses at every new moon and lunar eclipses at every full moon.
The phases of the moon
Everybody who looks up at the moon can see that it presents a different shape or face throughout the month. These different faces are called PHASES OF THE MOON. Since Galileo and Kepler, here is the way the "scientific" community explains the different phases:
|
In this typical heliocentric diagram of the phases of the moon the sunlight is coming from a stationary sun and the moon takes a MONTH to orbit the earth. |
This is a typical heliocentric explanation of the phases of the moon. Notice that the sun is STATIONARY so the earth MUST do the turning. In this scenario, the moon is moving very, very slowing around the earth taking ONE MONTH to complete a revolution. The moon is supposed to move at a speed of about 2,000 mph or about 13 degrees to an observer on earth. At new moon, the moon will be in front of the sun for about 3 days. At full moon, the earth will be between the sun and moon for about 3 days also. |
How eclipses of the moon are caused
When the moon moves between the sun and the earth it casts a shadow or umbra on the earth, blocking or partially blocking our view of the sun. This is called a solar eclipse.
|
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching the earth. |
Notice how the "scientific" community describes a solar eclipse exactly as they describe a new moon phase of the moon. Real solar eclipses are very rare and last at the most 10 minutes but with the moon traveling SLOWLY in front of the sun we should get a big solar eclipse every new moon. |
When the earth moves between the sun and the moon, it casts a shadow on the face of the moon, blocking or partially blocking our view of the moon. This is called a lunar eclipse.
|
A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth blocks the light from reaching the moon. |
According to the heliocentric theory, a lunar eclipse works exactly as the phases of the full moon. The earth is 4 times larger than the moon so with the slow moving moon we should get a lunar eclipse every full moon and it should last at least a couple of days!! |
The great celestial cover up
In the heliocentric system it is IMPOSSIBLE to have phases of the moon without having a major solar and lunar eclipse at least twice every month.
Here is a table of approximate moonrise and moonset times for the east coast of the U.S. at latitude 45 degrees and using daylight savings time. You will notice that the moon has about the same 12 hour period of earth orbit as the sun. Try looking up every night and checking it for yourself.

The Foucault Pendulum
Many "astronomers" cite the Foucault pendulum experiment that was carried out in Paris in 1851 as PROOF that the earth turns. It's a pity that the NASA space program has not provided them with more recent proof. Here is a quote from a 36-year veteran of the space program with a Ph.D., in astronomy from the University of Michigan:
"Proof of Earth's turning, or rotation, didn't come until 1851, more than two millennia after Heraclides (researchers didn't have much government funding back then, so progress was slow). The proof came from a big French swinger: a heavy metal ball suspended from the ceiling above the floor of the Pantheon (a church) in Paris on a 200-foot wire. The ball is called a Foucault pendulum, after the French physicist who came up with the plan. If you kept an eye on the pendulum as it swung back and forth all day, you could see that the direction taken by the swinging ball across the floor gradually changed, as though the floor was turning underneath it." (Maran, Astronomy for Dummies, p. 42).
Leon Foucault (1819-1868). |
By 1851, despite Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler no proof existed of the rotation of the earth. The Jesuits were getting DESPERATE because without a rotating earth the theory of evolution falls flat on its face. At that time a Jesuit named Leon Foucault "invented" a contrivance that supposedly PROVED the rotation of the earth. The Foucault pendulum was just another Jesuit hoax like the Piltdown man. |
Foucault was a failure until Napoleon III became his patron!!
Foucault was a failure at everything he did until Louis Napoleon became his patron. Louis was the nephew of the emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and became president of France in 1848. In 1851, he abolished civil liberties and declared himself dictator of France.
|

Foucault's pendulum in the church of the Pantheon in Paris. The pendulum had a specially rigged device on top to make it sway a certain way. Of course it was not visible from the floor. Notice also that the pendulum was not swinging in a VACUUM where air currents could not influence its sway. In front of this display was a big sign which read: COME SEE THE PROOF THAT THE EARTH IS TURNING!! The French scientific community were not amused by Foucault's folly and refused to make him a member of the French Academy. Pressure from the emperor finally caused them to relent and 2 years before his death, Foucault was finally made a member of that august body. |
Cardinal Richelieu was the founder of the French Academy!!
In 1631 the Paris Mint struck a medal in honor of Cardinal Richelieu; the reverse shows the Cardinal's spirit in the form of a winged genius driving the firmament of stars around an immovable earth with the motto in Latin: mens sidera volvit meaning: his intellect makes the stars revolve:
|
Medal of Cardinal Richelieu. |
Reverse of medal shows a stationary earth at the center of the universe. |
Imagine the embarrassment of the members of the French Academy when they were forced to grant credence to the heliocentric humbug by making Foucault a member of that august assembly.
All the Bonapartes were Jesuits
There is a definite conflict of interest in this Napoleon sponsored experiment to prove that the earth is turning....It might be a "coincidence" but the future emperor Napoleon was born on the island of Corsica in 1769. That was just 2 years after the Jesuits were dumped on that island when Pope Clement banned them with a perpetual decree never to be rescinded.
Emperor Napoleon was born on the island of Corsica in 1769. He restored the Jesuits in 1814. |
Napoleon III was the defender of the Pope's temporal power when it was overthrown in 1870. |
Charles Joseph Bonaparte was the founder of the FBI - Federal Bureau of Inquisition!! |
