As The Galileo Review Commission reported in 1992, "the geocentric (the sun goes round the earth) representation of the world was commonly admitted in the culture of the time as fully agreeing with the teaching of the Bible … certain expressions, taken literally, seemed to affirm geocentrism."

Be *that* as it may, nowhere in Scriptures is there any definitive declaration of geocentrism, which was Aristotlean in origin. Geocentrism may have been commonly accepted, but there is/was no basis in Scripture for it, it came from Aristotle, period...
