Do any Christians actually believe this?
This guy is claiming that heliocentrism (the radical notion that the earth orbits around the sun, instead of the other way around) is somehow heretical. The quote below is from his blog, it neglects to mention that Galileo recanted under, you know, torture.

Really, truly, do any Christians, even Creationist and ID types, actually believe this?
