Nowhere. There is nowhere in the Bible that says the Earth is the center of the solar system
Galileo was condemned by the church for teaching that the sun was the center of the solar system. Church leaders in Galileo’s day refused to even look through a telescope, because they believed the Bible said that the sun rotated around the earth. What they failed to realize was that the Bible describes things according to how they appear to the naked eye. We do the same thing today. Weather forecasters talk about when the sun "rises" and "sets." That does not happen, of course, yet we don't accuse our weather forecasters of being unscientific.

The Sun is in the center and planets revolve around the Sun.
The Milky Way is a cannibul that eats other stars.

Was doctrine of the (Roman Catholic) Church until about 350 years ago. Galileo was (reportedly) ex-communicated for his support of Copernicus' helio-centric model of the solar system.

Not only does the bible hint that the earth was flat, that it was also the center of the universe.

Science won out on that one. But if evangelists have there way well go right back into the dark ages.

Aristotle- who was sitting down outside once and declaired the Sun was the size of his foot, because thats what he measured it with.
Obviously he was very very wrong
