Agreed. It took thousands of years of scientific endeavor to dump it.
However, it is presently decisively refuted. Period. You only need one good
counter-example to refute a theory. Light gyroscopes provide such a
counter-example. Unfortunately, the lines of reasoning are a bit technical -
so I'll skip the details here. However, if anyone wants details, I will
gladly provide them (privately).
I hope Christians can get off this issue. Unfortunately, the geocentrist
fringe in the science realm reaches a bit into the Christian rank and file.
We, who live in university and professional communities probably only rarely
see it, but it is there.
