For personal referrence I'm the center of my universe. From there it goes out to my town, earth, etc. This doesn't jive with science though and if some people have trouble differentiating between the two, I may as well argue with a rock. I'ts hopeless if they can't tell the difference between allegorical stories, meant to give a lesson, with scientific fact. In a way these literal interpreters of the bible or any such book are the lost people because they've closed their minds to other possibilities.
edited to add that followers of science can fall into the same trap by ignoring the personal experience.
