Geocentrists

I posted a question on the South African Philip Stott on the ASA list
last week, and received several responses. Let me open it up to those of
you not on the other line.

A local church and Christian school are having Philip Stott speak on
"the place of the earth in the universe" and "problems in astronomy."
After some phone calls I learned that he is a geocentrist and maintains
that the heliocentric model is so thoroughly based in Greek ideas that no
Christian should accept it. The medieval scholastics had it right the
first time - the earth IS the center (of the whole universe) and it
doesn't move.

Can anyone add anything about Mr. Stott, and modern geocentrists. Feel
free to pass on this question.
