None written in this century, that is correct, what is written in this century is this:

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (Joh 10:10)
Satan came, and stole your reason, killed your sanity, and destroyed your minds! All of the following citations comes from a pen of deluded & insane heliocentrists:
1. If any one of these conditions were slightly higher or lower, life on Earth would cease to exist. For example, the Earth is at a very specific distance from the sun. Malcolm Bowden says, "If it were 5% closer, then the water would boil up from the oceans and if it were just 1% farther away, then the oceans would freeze, and that gives you just some idea of the knife edge we are on." Dr. Duane Gish says, "If the Earth's diameter were 7,200 miles, instead of 8,000, then almost the whole Earth, due to a lessening of the atmospheric mantle, would be reduced to snow and ice waste."

If the earth were moved a few million miles closer to the sun, the surface of the earth would become warmer causing our glaciers to melt. With a decrease in the area of ice the total reflectivity of our planet's surface would thereby decrease and more of the sun's heat would be absorbed. The melting of glaciers would produce a rise of sea level, and, apart from flooding most of our modern cities, would create a larger total ocean surface area. Since seawater absorbs larger amounts of solar radiation than equal area land masses, heating of the earth would again be promoted. Furthermore, after increasing the temperature of the oceans, much of the ocean's dissolved carbon dioxide would be added to the atmosphere along with large amounts of water due to increased evaporation. The increased carbon dioxide and water vapor level of the atmosphere would again bring about a significant temperature rise. All things considered, a minor decrease in the sun's distance would have a drastic heating effect on the earth's surface.
What would happen if the earth were a few million miles farther from the sun? The reverse of the previous situation applies. We would have more of our planet covered by ice, with associated increased reflectivity of the sun's heat. The ocean would cover less of the earth's surface and the important process of absorption of heat by seawater would be decreased. Since the ocean would be colder, evaporation would be less with less heat-trapping water vapor in the atmosphere. Much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere would become dissolved in the colder ocean. Calculations show that a decrease of carbon dioxide in the air to just one-half of its present level would lower the average temperature of the earth's surface by about 7.0 degrees Fahrenheit! Thus, increasing the sun's distance would have a profound cooling effect on our planet.
3. Yes, its true if we were only slightly further away from the sun or only slightly closer that we would suffer massive climate change.
Look at the seasons. The change in the seasons is very clear to see and practically all life on Earth is tuned into them and has ways to survive them.
The seasons are a result of the Earth not being perfectly straight in its axis, it wobbles slightly "side to side" with the north being closer to the sun at one point and the south being closer at the other point in the year.
This is also why when its summer in the UK its winter in Australia for example.
So the change from summer to winter is just a simple wobble of the Earth on its axis... thats only a few thousand km difference in distance and yet it causes a large climate change.
Should the Earth move a sizable distance, say 1million km forward or backward, the effect would be catastrophic to life on Earth. Humanity could probably survive the harsher weather but the other animals would not... therefore we would have no food sources and would eventually die anyway.
