Ah, the old reliable 'appeal to ridicule' fallacy. How appropriate that it comes from you.

No, it's coming from anyone with common sense. Do you really think you are some guru who has the ultimate answers to questions about the universe, but the entire industrialized world is oppressing your divine wisdom? And I mean a modern industrialized world that routinely uses the modern physics that you reject on semantic grounds. Why should you be taken seriously by professionals who successfully exploit what works in reality? I don't see you using your geocentric model to any extent except to get attention on these threads.

I see that you continually fail to provide any arguments (other than appeal to ridicule) that uniquely support heliocentricity. That's because there are none. As I have demonstrated, both CS are equivalent.

My purpose in generating these threads is to show people that things they think are 'facts' are not really facts, but are beliefs. The lack of definitive evidence in favor of heliocentrism demonstrates that it is a belief, not a fact, and that can be a significant enlightenment for some people.

You are certainly free to make the philosophical decision that you prefer heliocentrism. Just don't pretend that it is 'scientific' or somehow more appropriate.

Your only appeal is the appeal to popularity.
