Heliocentricity is not a logically plausible (let alone irrefutable) theory that is based on scientific data but it's actually, purely based on a series of assumptions that were built-up over the last 200 years. For example many (but not all) of the assertions regarding astronomical distances between celestial bodies are invented and put into calculations on the apriori assumption that the earth must be revolving around the sun. But then at the same time, these assumed distances have another function whereby they are deployed as some sort of petitio principii device to indicate that the sun must be at the center because of that distance! Go figure.

Here is one example of how it's done: we are told that sun is too big to revolve around the earth. But wait a minute, isn't the sun's size determined in the first place by assuming how big it must have to be in order to allow a heliocentric premise? Yes it is! Go figure that. Other needed assumptions include:
Lorenzo de Medici

The bendover earth assumption (the alleged 'tilt' of the earth's axis, a desperately needed heliocentric variable that has no basis in the physical world where the sun simply spirals from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn annually. Both of these tropic latitude lines are not tilted - they are at a 0° angle (= parallel) to the equator. The word "tropic" itself comes from the Greek term tropos, meaning turn, referring to the fact that the sun "turns back" at these lines that aren't tilted in any way,
The earth supposedly tittering around the sun at various speed levels (it orbits at a faster speed at one time, and then it goes relatively slower at another - then back faster again) but somehow, all this alleged speed-change remains unnoticeable),
The moon also being dragged along exactly at those same speed levels (100% complete synchronization with the wobbly earth despite being hundreds of thousands of miles away from it(!) Now how about that?,
Even atmospheric gas (the air) being attached to the earth's surface (again completely synchronized but somehow (simultaneously) free-flowing enough to blow in every direction). These are just samples of the never shown, never detected, never scientifically observed absurdities that are required to save the appearances of the heliocentric model.

The Greeks wanted to position the objects in the sky in its right place within the celestial sphere. In other words, they recognized the universe as being geocentric and accounted for celestial bodies' motions using elaborate gears around a point that itself moves in a circle around the earth. Mr. Wright found evidence that the Antikythera mechanism would have been able to reproduce the motions of the sun and moon accurately, as well as the movements of the planets Mercury and Venus. Professor Michael Edmunds of Cardiff University who led a study of the mechanism is reported to have said: "This device is just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind. The design is beautiful, the astronomy is exactly right. The way the mechanics aredesigned just makes your jaw drop. Whoever has done this has done it extremely carefully (...) in terms of historic and scarcity value, I have to regard this mechanism as being more valuable than the Mona Lisa". The value of this mechanism lies in the fact that astronomy was essential for navigation. And it is improvements in navigation that resulted in something that directly and fundamentally caused the scientific revolution:the age of discovery or the age of exploration. That period from the early 15th century and continuing into the early 17th century, during which Europeans explored the world by ocean, searching for trading partners and various goods, is responsible for the rapid advancement of technological acumen of the wider society. Therefore it is not the theoretical heliocentric arguments of Copernicus or Galileo that caused this - they were the products of the age, not the cause of it.

This demonstrates how the empirical application of geocentricity, that is, the advance of navigation during the Renaissance period, triggered the age of exploration, that in turn resulted in the advancement of the more wider field of science. Thank God that the explorers and discoverers did not indulge in heliocentric humbuggery, because had they did that, they would have not discovered continents and trading routes, but would have been lost and clueless for every single distance, on every single trip!
