That's what they always do. It is only recently that they acknowledged that Galelelio was correct, the earth does indeed orbit around the sun and not the other way around. Self important men (?) in dresses.
interesting that if you know your bible, you didn’t have to wait for Galelelio to know a bit about the nature of the planets, and what the earth rests on - keep in mind that other religions have the earth resting on the back of great turtles, or other such nonsense.
It clearly states in the bible that the earth is round (not flat), and hangs in space on nothing. This is from the old testament, written > 1500 years before Christ.
It does NOT say however, if the earth or sun revolve around each other.
This is why (when speaking from the bible), it is best to NOT extend beliefs beyond what the text actually SAYS.
There’s a lot of information in the bible that could not have been produced by human means - this is one example, there are others.
