this website doesn't relate to islam, it does support jewish ideas, thus the fake of the translation from arabic to english states this. | |||
Some may confuse geocentricism with the the idea that the [[Flat Earth and the Quran|Earth is flat]]. This is not the case. These are two different ideas. Geocentrism simply is the notion that the earth is the (immovable) centre of our universe, thus all celestial bodies move around it. The ancient Greeks and the Europeans of the middle ages thought that the celestial bodies (the sun, the moon and the 5 known planets) all moved in celestial spheres around a spherical earth. It should be noted that even though not all geocentrists are flat-earthers invariably all flat-earthers seem to be geocentrists. | Some may confuse geocentricism with the the idea that the [[Flat Earth and the Quran|Earth is flat]].
