Wrong. There were mountains of scientific evidence to back up Copernicus.

Like what? There was increasing evidence to weaken Ptolemy. Mountains on the moon, Jupiter with moons, and phases of Venus. But to SHOW a moving earth, you gotta have parallax, I think.

Copernicus PROVED the planets move with regular circular motion? Nope.

Not really. All you need to do is follow the sun.
