geocentrism has never been disproven based on scientific observations; not one experiment has proven the earth to be moving. the heliocentric (or acentric) model has been adopted by secular scientists based on their own philosophical assumptions and metaphysical worldview. > according to south african cosmologist george ellis who in 1973 co-authored the book the large scale structure of space-time with university of cambridge physicist stephen hawking,[11] "people need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations. for instance, i can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations. you can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. in my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. what i want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. a lot of cosmology tries to hide that."[12]
