(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); We all know the scientific view on the center of the solar system, (I hope :p)
Here are the religious opinions:



Christian View on the Earth being the center of the universe:
    "Copernicus (1473-1543) enraged the Church by writing that the Earth might orbit the Sun. Christian theology holds that the great scheme of God revolves around Humankind; God's only son is a human, God created the Earth and all other animals for Mankind (Genesis 1:28 etc), and the destruction of creation centres around events occurring on planet Earth, to Humans."



Muslim View on the Earth being the center of the universe:
    Muslims believe that the Earth is the center of the universe and that Mekkah is the center of the earth and Gods throne is directly above Earth (Mekkah to be exact)
And that a rock was built into the Earths crust which has a special power (Many muslims believe in that power as gravity)



Jewish View on the Earth being the center of the universe:

    The torah does not mention much about astronomical topics, but based on Christian views, and the bible, many Jewish people believe that the sun is not the center of the universe, but they make no claims as to what is the center



So, here again, it is a battle of religion and science, what do you believe?

This is pure philosophy. It depend how you think. You can consider it as the center of the univers or not

I just see it as the center of our universe, chances are not the center of the 'full' universe though.

The earth cannot be at the center of the universe if it's in orbit around the sun?, the center of the universe can't be moving........... It would need to be in the place of the sun for it to be considered the center of anything. Science all the way.

the universe is thought to be homogeneous, the CMB is certainly isotropic to a high degree of accuracy (to within one part in 105), so the Earth could be almost anywhere within it and the view on the largest scales would be pretty much the same as from here.

The universe does not have an 'edge' nor 'centre', just as the Earth's surface does not have an edge or centre.

As for the argument that 10/11 galaxies are moving away from the Earth (we are near the centre)...

It has been said several times that the earth is at the center of the observable universe, but the observable universe is just all that we can see, not all that there is. It should be no surprise that we're at the center of a region defined by all that we can see.

The Earth cannot be the center of the Universe...

The Universe is too big, it's forever expanding.

Gosh that is bullshit.
