Star distance and parallax

Came across website and I am intrigued as to how you explain the parallax of stars if they are all 3100 miles away.

The fact that the parallax exists at all surely suggests that the sun is the center of the solar system and that the stars are much much MUCH further away.

I asked this exact same question a few days ago and haven't got a reply yet...

I'm convinced that no one on these boards actually believes any of this, and claims to purely for the fun of egging people on.  Hence, any argument that can positively debunk FET doesn't get responded to so it will fall of the page and new people will come to further attempt to debunk FET.

There's a similar forum out there that's a spoof of Westboro Baptist Church's beliefs.  I don't recall the name of it, but wiki them, and you'll see their entire purpose is to poke fun at extremist Christian views while trolling the people that come to their forums.  Apparently, they've won a lawsuit against a Christian group who claims that their satire is a hate crime.  It's pretty laughable when you think about it.

Anyways, I'm sure there's a few people out there that actually believe in FET, and a few of them might actually frequent this board. But they definitely make up the minority.

Would that be the Landover Baptist Church?

I believe that parallax of distance stellar objects is rather far down the "logic" trail. If you don't believe RE is the better model, then you don't believe The Heliocentric Model is better the Geocentric. If you don't believe in The Heliocentric Model, then you don't accept the baselines used. There's a lot of ground to cover there.

Instead I suggest we force the question... Which Model, RE or FE, better predicts the apparent motion of some stars over the course of the year? With the results of stellar parallax experiments in hand, we tip our scientific hats to... RE.
