The view point of geo-centrism has been a position of ridicule if not persecution for decades in the science community. Even though some of the top physicist have admitted to it's possibility The media and academic society have made it a no-no. In fact they have been even more successful at framing geo-centricity as the same as flat-earth, This is in hopes giving non-Christians the idea that Christians were anti-science, liars etc.
These forms of psychological manipulation can be very powerful and overwhelming in a world where society has placed Bible believing Christianity at a lower-status and thus whatever reputation is gained. It takes courage for Dr. Faulkner to make this statement. Not because he is siding with Geo-centricity, but because he is risking ridicule to be fair to it's proponents and I commend that.
"There are some very highly educated people who are geo-centrists today, including physicists and at least one person with a PHD in astronomy. Geocentrists use Physical arguments, but there main motivation seams to be their belief that the bible teaches that the earth does not move. And this movement appears to have any flat-earthers in their midst.
"It should be obvious that flat-earthers must be geo-centrists. However, one ought not to confuse the "traditional" or Tychonic, geocentrists described above with the flat-earth movement.
It is ironic, however that after the Tychonic geo-centrists had labored for decades, the sudden rise in the flat earth movement has resulted in their probably being more flat-earth geocentrist today than there are geo-centrists who believe the earth is a sphere. To add insult to injury, that flat earthers use many of the arguments, both physical and biblical, that they borrowed from the Tychonic geo-centrists. However it is doubtful that any flat-earthers understand the physical arguments as well as most Tychonic geo-centrists do."

Guess we've gotta give Bro. Faulkner props for trying to be fair to geocentrists.
I think this is a good link for future encounters. Much like Duane Guish's endorsement of Malcolm Bowden.
