god only appears in your mind and in books, but not in real life.

Take a look up the sky. Note where the sun is. Look back same spot same direction an hour later or two.

Wait until night. Note where the Moon is. Look back same direction an hour later or two.

Also at night, look for a constellation you can recognise. Look back same direction an hour later or two.

If all these things turn around us, at around the same rate, who is moving them?

Hans-Georg Lundahl gravity and the continuous expansion of the universe. That question was answered by science in the 1500’s when gravity was first conceived of.

I'm sorry, but those factors do not answer the exact question I put:

If all these things turn around us, at around the same rate, who is moving them?

Instead, it requires to assume that they are NOT turning around us each day, and that it's Earth that's turning.

Those are extra assumptions, clearly not necessary if God is moving the universe.

Why say who? Why not say what is moving them? You question is silly 😜

GH The movement of the universe around us every day involves a displacement of planetary movements so intricate (heliocentric orbits around a Sun with a double geocentric one, daily and yearly) that they would be swept away by the daily motion if there was no delicacy to the sheer force of turning the universe around us.

Besides, each heavenly body that's luminous to us, whether a reflector or a self-luminous one, seems to have an independent movement, so they are not just all one single inside of a ball that the luminaries are glued to. So, the taking of all these bodies together around us requires some intelligence.

Your answers that involve a "what" also typically involve reinterpreting the observed geocentric movement each day into a spin of the earth itself.
