no, bringing the Galileo stuff is childish

galileo claimed the sun was stationary. FALSE
he claimed that planets revolve around the sun
in circular orbits. FALSE

Scientists knew that if the Corperican model were correct, that they would observe a parallax effect when viewing stars, yet they did not. Why was that?

Galileo was correct that the Earth is in orbit a around the Sun, this is because the Earth (a rather tiny object in comparison) is held in the gravitational orbit of the Sun (a massive object).

Any model that has the Sun circling the Earth is ludicrous.

What force do you think could move the Sun around the Earth while leaving the Earth motionless?
