==A stationary Earth would be the simplistic literal interpretation of not just that Psalm, but also Joshua 10:12-4 was taken to mean the Sun moved around a stationary Earth.

Nope, Joshua 10:12-14 can just as easily be understood from Joshua’s perspective. When you talk about a beautiful sunrise, you are making reference to the sun based on the way its movement appears to you. It doesn’t mean the sun is literally rising.

But once again scripture would not be “compromised” by a Geocentric model.

And once again, I am NOT saying that the scripture absolutely implies a Geocentric system at any time any where any how. Please get that out of your system.

What I am REPEATING again and again is that there was once a system of thought in the Christian world that the simple reading of scripture insisted upon a Geocentric world. At some point the Christian world abandoned this perception.

What do you suggest was the mechanism that changed the majority opinion of the Christian world from one that the Bible supported Geocentricity, to one that scripture did not insist upon Geocentricity?

What was the mechanism of change?
