Wading through the glorious textual sewer lovingly tended by the dunnikin divers of Crank Dot Net, I found this particularly cranky site, The Official Geocentricity Website.

At that time Nicolaus Copernicus (picture below), a Polish canon who dabbled in astrology, claimed that the sun and not the earth was at the center of the universe. His idea is known as heliocentrism. It took a hundred years for heliocentrism to become the dominant opinion, and it did so with a complete lack of evidence in its favor.

It's amusing stuff, but what's really telling is how similar these arguments and explanations are to the people who rave on about the impossibility of human-caused global warming. All the same smears, smarms and outright lies that we see in the Crankiest biblical websites are regurgitated, cut and pasted, by the people who want us to think that global warming is just a conspiracy in which hundreds of thousands of scientists of widely differing origins have all gotten together to create a grand coordinated lie without leaving any meeting minutes or incriminating emails behind as evidence.
