Is it true that Christians believe that earth is center of universe and it spines around the sun?

What? Who told you that??? The only thing we believe that's even close to that is that if God wanted the universe to be like that, he could make it happen just like that. Just bcuz we believe something different than you doesn't mean we're ignorant, wierd, or stupid....

I believe in the Bible.\nThe Bible says that the world was created in six literal 24 hour days, is around 6000 years old, that man and dinosaurs lived together (being created in the same week), and that there was a flood that totally covered the entire planet, killing off the vast majority of human, plant and animal life on the planet.\nThe amount of scintific evidence that supports this theory is simply staggering, but rarely given a chance to be heard or seen due to the wide-spread acceptance of the evolution theory.\n\nDid you know that the earth's rotation is slowing down? So if you back up in time a few million years, you have to speed the earth's rotation up proportionatly - you can't even go back a few million before the earths rotation becomes so fast that life on this planet is not possible anymore. - Much less 4.6 billion years.\n\nThe orbit of the moon is growing a little bit farther away from the earth every year, so if you back that one up a few million years, the moon would have been so close to the earth that the tide would have come so high it would wipe out all life on the  planet twice a day. - 4.6 billion years ago, it would have to have been touching the earth,  not oribiting the earth.\n\nI could go on for many pages like this, but follow the link below to find out more about that the Bible says about creation, and what scientific examination of these claims have shown.

No, I think it's relatively easy to believe.  As a sentient species our past has been riddled with assumptions of the cosmos.  In reality, what we usually find is that the nature of the cosmos is far from what we assume and often counter intuitive.  Take the world is flat perception:  from the ground looking out into the ocean, it would be easy to assume that the Earth was flat, as the horizon looks like it ends and you would fall off the planet.  Also looking at how the sun is at different points in the sky during the day, it would also be easy to assume that the sun orbits the Earth.  Grand assumptions on behalf of humanity are not new.  If the Universe continues to expand, it could just be the limited intelligence of our species which fails to comprehend that our Universe can expand as far as we are concerned, there is literally nothing beyond the edge.

The earth's shape is not define.But , Aryabhatta tells that the earth is round.

Yes, earth is moving closer to sun every year, and eventually it will get destroyed one day. But still thousands of years are left for this to happen.

Why don't we teach animism/shamanism in Medical school and germ theory in Bible class?  That the Sun orbits the earth in Astronomy class?\n\nAbout as relevant don't you think?

No, I'm Not. but, here's an interesting theory as to their Guidance System to Find Earth; The Pyramids of the Eastern [Egypt] Hemisphere, and of the Western [Mexico , Central America] Hemisphere are Aligned in Such a Way, and Constructed of the Proper Materials that the Energy of the Earth's Magnetic Poles are Naturally Focused Upon the Pyramid Structures. The Claim is that the Earth Resonates at an Inaudible Frequency of 8 Hz. That, combined with the Polar Magnetic Energy Focused onto all of the Earth's Pyramids Generates a Beam of Energy which can be Detected Far Out into Space, well Beyond Our Solar System. NASA Supposedly has Proof of this from Voyager I and II , which are both beyond our Solar System. Supposedly there is also Proof that if the Pyramids had been only a Few Miles Apart from where they were Built, and not Made of the Same Materials of which they were Built, they would not be able to Emit an Energy Field that can be Detected, Perhaps Light Years beyond Earth! If that's all a Coincidence, along with the Prehistoric Drawings of Space Vehicles found on the Walls of Caves in France, then so be it. Also, Read the Bible, "Ezekiel saw the Wheel, way in the middle of the Air"

I think most people who believe in Christianity also understand that science has a part in the process as well. Thus, while God may have created the Earth and all, there is still a process of evolution that occurs.

Prooving that the earth is not the center of the universe and that it rotates around the sun. Thoe simple as it seems today, this fact sparked the fire for future generations of wonderers to explore and ask question that were forebidin a few centuries ago.

You have put up a brilliant question. Yes... the core of Sun is the place where all souls reside. All souls that have not yet manifested reside in the core of the Sun. There is no denying this fact.\n\nThe prime reason why any human being from Mother Earth would not be able to establish contact in person with aliens ever! We are not permitted to do so. God has destined mankind in a fashion that none from the gravity of the Sun ever escapes bodily.\n\nWe need to remember that every soul is free to roam the whole of Cosmos. But once it has manifested a body it can only move around the centre of gravity of that star which in our case is the son... a small yellow dwarf star.\n\nDoes this mean that heaven and hell, both are located in the centre of the Sun...? No, it is not like that. The core of the Sun only consists of souls that have not yet manifested.\n\nThe centre of the Sun is the communication link between God and all souls manifesting on Mother Earth. If I need to contact Jesus Christ in my present manifestation then my prayers would first be broadcast to the centre of the Sun and henceforth to God Almighty.\n\nThe centre of the Sun is like the principal broadcasting and receiving station. Trying to communicate with any soul... the broadcast is initially transferred to the central station... the centre of the Sun and finally to another soul atman (aka atman in Hinduism).\n\nThis universal system of communication built by God is unique in itself. Everyone knows that bodily none can reach the centre of the Sun but all souls are free to travel to the centre of the Sun and back.\n\nEvery word coming out of my mouth is a means of communication by one soul to another. No human body or any other living being has the capacity to produce a sound. It is only when a soul manifests a body... words start coming out of our mouth.\n\nThe words in fact are the communicating link between one soul and the other. Any wrong word spoken from our mouth can never be retrieved back for the simple reason that God does not permit it so. This confirms that we are supposed to weigh our words before we speak. Otherwise we have no other option than to eat our words.\n\nIn the whole of Cosmos every star is the pivotal communicating (broadcasting and receiving) station so that every soul can communicate with the other or the mighty God.\n\nGod is not an entity as a human being. It is a source of power... such colossal power that Bhagavad Gita, the sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna gives the Definition God as, "the sum total of all the purified souls atmans in the Cosmos at any given point of time" and this reduces to a paltry half the size of a thumb. Yes, the size of God is half the size of a thumb at the beginning of every Cosmos.\n\nMeaning that when the dissolution of the Cosmos finally occurs... the whole Cosmos reduces to the size of half a thumb and this is what we know as God, the Almighty creator! This massive colossal power in its pristine glorious form unable to retain itself for long explodes with a Big Bang giving rise to the birth of a new Cosmos... a new journey!\n\n\nRight from the first journey as an amoeba by our soul atman within... and to the last 8.4 millionth manifestation... the journey of the soul exists for God Almighty is there. The existence of the soul atman itself confirms the existence of God Almighty.\n\nOur soul atman being a miniscule form of God Almighty... one can continue living as an atheist (a non believer of God) but inherently every atheist believes in the existence of a mighty power that one considers above all. This mighty power can be the shape of a colossal energy source but atheists never considers it to be God Almighty... one who created the creation!\n\nWhatever be our belief... the existence of God Almighty can never be negated. As per Bhagavad Gita... the sum total of all purified atmans souls in the Cosmos is what we know as God Almighty. When every soul atman is connected to the might

Sun-centered theory developed by Copernicus in which he was convinced that the sun was the center of the universe and the Earth was in fact a planet.

The Bible does not talk about the Earth being spherical, but it is described as a circle--a circle is flat.  Read some books about the cultures that existed during that period, and you will understand what they believed regarding the cosmos. To them, the sky was a big dome overhead, with all the heavenly bodies embedded in it. This is why there is a story about the moon and sun standing still in the sky--the ancients believed that God could simply move them around at will, for they had no concept at all of the solar system and how it worked. \n\n In Genesis, the earth is created first and then the rest of the sky forms around it. Why? Because, to the ancients, the universe was Earth-centered, not sun-centered. Everything they could see appeared to revolve around the earth, so this is what they believed.  They knew nothing of the age of the earth, or the vastness of the universe, or the idea that the sun was simply one of billions of stars in a galaxy, which in turn was merely one of trillions of other galaxies. The Bible is NOT scientific, it is simply the collected myths, fables, folklore, and hero stories of a primitive people who believed primitive things.

One is incorrect and the other is correct.  The heliocentric model (or Copernican model) places the sun as the center of the solar system, with the planets revolving around it, which is correct.  \n\nThe geocentric model place the earth as the center of the solar system, with the planets and the sun rotating around it.  This is incorrect.  \n\nIn the 17th Century, the astronomer Galileo was branded a heretic and excommunicated from the Church for "daring" to challenge the Vatican's misguided belief (derived from a literal reading of the Bible) that the geocentric model was correct.  Science ultimately vindicated Galileo as correct, and the Church only issued a formal retraction of the excommunication of Galileo in this century.

The Church insisted that the World is FLAT too, and that the Sun plus other planets revolve around it : And publicly humiliated and excommunicated Galileo for questioning their false premise !\n...Any and every organised religious order is basically a bunch of self-opinionated opportunists and politicians - masquerading as pious folk, to con all those who believe in their empty words !

The sun does attract the earth quite a bit. That's what keeps the earth orbiting it instead of flying off into space.

It wouldnt, no discovieres have changed them in there ways. Case in point. The solar system is not geocentric, the earth is round, and evolution GET OVER IT ITS NOT A FING THEORY. sorry had to get my two sense in, just has some LDS folks come to teh door.

All religion is 'belief'. The Universe is a fact. Many if not all 'religions' believe that their God created the Universe. Christians generally do not subscribe to the idea that there MAY be 'life' as we know it outside the Earth.  But then very few Christians (or Jews for that matter) have considered the 6th Chapter of Genesis, verses 1-4. \n\nIf they did they would be less arrogant about how 'right' they are. \n\nThere may well be space travellers as that text suggests
