I think he did. Did any serious scientist, after the publication of Galileo's Dialogue, defend the geocentric idea on scientific grounds?

Tycho Brhae. His model, in which the sun orbits the earth, but the rest of the planets orbit the sun, was just as consistent with Galileo's observations as was the Copernican model. It took the discovery of Newton's laws of motion and graviation to thoroughly disprove geocentrism.
