I step into a discussion between Glenn and Stephen:

Ron Numbers mentions a fringe group of YECs who have held to geocentrism.
The Institute for Creation Research a result of the union of the Creation
Research Society (a group ofscientists led by Henry Morris) and the
Bible-Science Association that published the Bible-Science Newsletter which
"occaisionally provided a platform for individuals on the fringes of the
creationist movement, such as those who questioned the heliocentric theory
and who believed that Einstein's theory of relativity 'was invented in order
to circumvent the evidence that the earth is at rest'".
R. Numbers, Science 218:538-44, 1982.
