Why do some people have such a problem accepting modern science. Is the world flat? Is the earth the center of the universe?

Straw Man fallacy. Most creationists revere the scientific method.

In a universe of infinite size, where is the center? Where is the Earth?

Can anyone bring in a single scientific fact that demonstrates, irrefutably, that the Earth is not at the center of the Universe?

No they don't. They've just picked up the mistaken idea that they can bash evolution for not following it, so they like to trot it out. If they didn't think they could use it for this purpose they would have nothing to do with this bit of godless science.

Except that they turn Ockham's razor into Ockham's plate of spaghetti.
