It's not really weird; it's simply the Tychian geo-heliocentric view under a
confusing name.

Mathematically, this model is equivalent to the heliocentric - it amounts only
to a redefinition of the coordinate system. But as I expect Christophe to
chime in pretty soon, the _physics_ gets a whole lot more messed up than in a
Copernican scheme.

If this critique is even vaguely fair, the book should be, as the critic says,
an embarassment to all geocentrists.

Interesting read ...

No time to look in depth at this ATM, but I consider anyone who makes a point
of that Biblical quotes are from KJV to be a priori suspect.
