No he doesn’t say that.
He says it cannot be empirically proven that the earth revolves on its own axis in 1 day.
It is still possible to assert, at an empirical level, that the whole cosmos could be daily revolving around the earth.

Just goes to show that there are other ways than empiricism to come at the morely likely model of what is happening. Noone doubts Gallileo’s views even if pure empiricism alone is not enough.

Imagine what the velocity and momentum of a distant sun orbiting the earth would have to be.
 
Imagine a merry go round of 10 feet diameter rotating at 1 rev per day.

Now extend it as far as you want…

Really?..

How is this any different to doubting the moon landings?

One time, I was at the warehouse with the guys who my mother works for. It’s a contractor. They were moving this big long metal piles by sliding the forklift into the holes and just carrying them around dangling fowwrd. They were like 20 feet long.

The forklift operator turned the forklift just a bit, slowly. And 20 down the line, the pipe ends whipped to the side and smashed into a guy. Both his legs were smashed. Ambulances were called.

A slow bit if angular momentum gets faster the further out a radial length is. To keep in case with the sun rotating once per day around us, distant planets would be whipping by faster than they would be held together.

That is where the very dense space foam comes in.
 
Actually not quite true. Any object, in theory, could be revolving around another, regardless of the distance, and still be moving at a very slow speed. It may take a very,very long time to complete the circle/ellipse, etc.
One could come up with a mathmatical model of our solar system all revolving around the earth. In theory, it seems this could be extended to the Milky Way. But not to other galaxies, as we know there are galaxies moving away from us due to the big bang.
 
So if the sun orbits the earth in 24 hrs why would that be considered slow?
Works out to be about 42 million kmh which is getting up there.

Hate to think what speed Alpha Centauri must be doing.
Certainly thousands of times greater than the speed of light I would think.

I was not correct in my geocentric thinking.

Exactly. And a geocentric system does not correctly take into account the gravitational and other forces involved
 
"No one wanted to think that space might be like that because that would really complicate things, but recently, that view is exactly what has developed. Physicists are now becoming convinced that empty space is in fact, not empty at all. Rather, it may be a void that is filled with a kind of ever-changing static … a sea of something that has been described as “cosmic foam”, “virtual particles of space-time”, “vacuum energy”, “cosmic strings”, or … “vacuum Fields”.

The image above is incredibly tiny. Those cosmic specks are so so so tiny, that gazillions of them could fit into the period at the end of this sentence. Empty space may not be empty, but its contents are sure small."

Of course space isn’t empty. But that has nothing to do with geocentrism possibly being correct.
There are other issues to solve if its true that have little to do with the aether.
 
The greatest disappointment in this way of thinking, at least how I see it, is the implicit assumption that humanity’s worth is dependent on the physical location of Earth in the cosmos.

This kind of thinking also parallels those who see a threat in evolution, as if a billions-year old Universe and Earth threatens the Divine Plan, which we know is itself Eternal and outside of time.

Bottom line: the Church has moved in the direction of science, and thank goodness.

This kind of thinking only goes to scandalize non-Christians.
