A small number of people interpret the [[Bible]] as favoring the geocentric theory. In the vast majority, and probably the entirety, of these case, are based upon an extremely poor [[exegesis]] of the Bible. Biblical skeptics also "interpret" the Bible as favoring geocentricism, but only so they can claim that the Bible is in error on the issue.

Biblical skeptics also "interpret" the Bible as favoring geocentricism, but only so they can claim that the Bible is in error on the issue. In both cases, many verses are taken completely out of context, ignoring their obvious poetic and/or observer-centric language (the latter being still in use today in terms like "sunrise" and "sunset").
