The Center of the Universe

I was reminded recently by my buddy Arthur (C Clarke) about the Creation Museum having its 100,000th visitor. After Arthur criticized me for smoking cigars and drinking scotch, he started to scrutinize the backwardness of Kentucky. I then looked through the trash to find an old brochure I received....

"THE BIBLE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AT THE CREATION MUSEUM. WE’VE JUST PAVED THE WAY TO A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE TENETS OF CREATION AND REDEMPTION. OUR EXHIBIT HALLS ARE GILDED WITH TRUTH, OUR GARDENS TEEM WITH THE VISIBLE SIGNS OF LIFE."

Then he pointed out a page with a blurb about a Planetarium. Now this did confuse us. Do these people believe in a Fixed Earth?
www.fixedearth.com is a site is run by Republican fundraiser Marshall Hall, who has circulated flyer's all over congress to promote the fact that the sun revolves around the earth. Those stars that are billions of light years away have a long way to go each 24 hours. That's pretty darn fast. Is this site a hoax? I am afraid not.
We then talk about Geosynchronous orbit, and how bizarre it would be to pay money to go to a fixed earth planetarium. The greatest comedians could not invent such an obscure idea. The concept was too much for us to comprehend. I rudely pass out after a cold Cape Cod Beer Growler. Arthur has a minor heart attack and heads back to Sri Lanka.
