Actually, in order for one object to be “circling” another, you have to assume that one is in a fixed position. Since modern science tells us that both the earth and the sun are in motion, its just as logical to say the sun is revolving around the earth as vice versa. Just sayin...

So therefore using your critical method of logic, the earth circles the moon. Just sayin...
But my MAIN point was that Galileo went against the prevailing religious take on the matter, and wound up under house arrest.
Galileo is considered the father of modern science. He was correct about the solar system, and the religious people were wrong.
I am sorry, have to disagree with that. Even though they are both in motion the earth is in an orbit around the sun, the sun is not in orbit around the earth, if it were our seasons would be totally fubar. So, while the sum may move from x to y in a given time period the earth moves the same distance in the same direction and thus the effects are the same as if the sun and the earth were stationary.
This is not a guess or an opinion but fact.
