Can you successfully paraphrase what you’ve cited?

What I was saying was that it is our 'perception' through history books (altered to fit perception) that before the Sun centered astronomy, we only had Earth centered astronomy, and before that men lived in caves and were quite stupid.

Much of this has to do with the influence of religion.

None of it is true.

So says you, and then we have the preeminent physicist of the past century disagreeing with you, and several fairly preeminent ones in the present century as well.

Tell me something - what is your objective experience of life on this Earth, as far as motion? What do you sense, what do you see? You see the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. You see the moon rise and set as well.

You are engaging in the very point of view that you claim is untrue, when you do so.

So, it’s obviously not untrue. But, it’s not “right,” nor is it “wrong.” What does your purporting, that the origin of this frame of reference is religion, have to do with anything, in light of this?
