You have given some fine lectures on "falsifiability", like this one in post 342:
You are simply ignorant about the scientific method. Simply provide a falsifiable hypothesis to test. In other words show how Creationism can be falsified and then it will count as a credible theory, for which evidence can be shown for and against. A theory that can't be falsified, like string theory, is worthless, at best a pleasant diversion.
But as we shall see, your notion of falsification is a special one: it only applies to the other guy you may be talking to.

The Sun is only 2.1 degrees behind strictly in relationship to an observer on the earth, in a two body model.

How would you falsify this hypothesis?

Great point! I wanna know that too!

Thanks,

It is easy, show how the earth is not one AU away from the sun or that the earths rotational speed is different. Or demonstrate that the speed of light is instantaneous or simply a different speed, etc. etc. In short, measure it : )
