Science scratches its' head

However the same is true for any point in space, so the idea of being at the center is relative.

Similar with expansion, there is no true objective center of expansion, its entirely relative. Visually its explained perfectly here: https://youtu.be/W4c-gX9MT1Q?t=9

I'm not sure I understand this, but I have not studied astronomy in any depth at all. Maybe you can help me understand a question that niggles my brain these days....

Moon orbits the earth about once a day. Earth revolves on its' axis every 24 hours. Earth and moon together orbit the sun once every 364 1/4 days. And somehow, in a miraculous way, the moon appears to follow the sun's path in the sky, rising in the east and setting in the west every night. I just can't wrap my brain around this special relationship they have. I mean, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? Anybody elses' mind boggles witnessing Gods' creation?? If you can explain that.....

My mind and heart praise Jesus! Everything I look a little deeper into His creation, He displays His awesome hand!
