No, but it does take an astronomer with the stature of Sir Fred Hoyle to admit that geocentrism and heliocentrism are dynamically equivalent according to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity.

Sir Fred Hoyle wrote:

"The relation of the two pictures and heliocentricity is reduced to a mere coordinate transformation and it is the main tenet of the Einstein theory that any two ways of looking at the world which are related to each other by a coordinate transformation are entirely equivalent from a physical point of view ... . Today we cannot say that the Copernican theory is 'right' and the Ptolemaic theory 'wrong' in any meaningful physical sense."

You'd be surprised what you 'believe' to be true that can't be proven. Heliocentrism is one of those beliefs.

I think you are woefully uninformed. That's why you ridicule that which you don't understand.
