Modern Astronomy is a pseudoscientific validation of the Star Trek universe for the purpose of making you think that Biblical prophecy about stars falling to Earth is ludicrous.
Astronomy
Earth is the Center of the Observable Universe
Axiom III is "Earth is the Center of the Observable Universe." We can deduce Principle I from the following physical evidence, empirical observations or established theories which are part of Axiom III.
Theoretical vs. Empirical
Theoretical and empirical are opposites, like dark and light. Empirical means verified by direct observation. Theoretical can't be seen, it's what we hope for, which is why we became a scientist.
Heliocentric vs. Geocentrospheric?
An overwhelming majority of people believe that we observe the Earth orbiting the sun but it’s not an observation, heliocentricity is theoretical. We observe the cosmos from Earth, which makes it Geocentrospheric.
Inductive Reductive Circular Reasoning
Supposedly, distant stellar objects are so large that they have to be very far away. Either that or they're so far away that they have to be very large. It's a phenomenon we call the geometry of despair.

The express purpose of astronomy is to make it seem as if the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy is ridiculous. Unfortunately this means that astronomy has had to become ridiculous. Who are you to believe? And why would you take our word for it?
