ABSTRACT
From the time the earth was discovered to be a sphere, most Western thinkers have positioned it at the center of the universe. When the heliocentric view triumphed in the centuries following Copernicus, some conservative Christians still held to geocentricity, insisting that the Bible required it. During the last third of the twentieth century, the geocentric view has even made a comeback among a few ultraconservative Christians as an adjunct to creation science.
