300 Foxes and a Donkey's Jawbone
Tycho Brahe made meticulous observation of the cosmos. He was on the Earth so, naturally, he observed a Geocentrospheric system. The problem was that he didn't know about binary systems because they hadn't made Star Wars yet.
The inner and outer planets have elliptical orbits because they orbit the Earth-sun binary system. Binary system? That's cool, there's one of those in Star Wars, right? Tatooine? Binary sunset?
A lot of people are involved in the science vs. faith debate. This is rather ironic since what they refer to as "science" is a sad parody called mainstream science (SciPop) which requires just as much faith as any religion does.
Direct observation from Earth is that the planets appear to have elliptical orbits around the Sun. We observe this planetary system orbit the Earth every day. That means that the Earth is f1, the Sun is f2 in the elliptical orbits.
Kepler's laws don't prove heliocentricity, they prove that the sun is at one focus of elliptical planetary orbits. The Earth is the other focus. Kepler couldn't find the second focus because he was standing on it.
It's ironic that the period of history that brought us the scientific advances of Galileo, Kepler and Newton is called The Enlightenment, because this was when the human race plunged into darkness.
Kepler's Laws are the weakest point of the theoretical foundation of popular science (SciPop). The weakness is that Kepler's laws are derived empirically, but they're applied theoretically.
SciPop claims that there's no evidence of Noah's flood, which would have left evidence everywhere. It did: the world-wide distribution of sedimentary rock is the evidence.
If you could get everyone, the whole world, to believe something which isn't true would that be success or failure? It depends on your intent. If your goal is to delude everyone then it's success.
Does Einstein's relativity disprove that the universe has an absolute frame of reference? No. It's an inductive rationalization of the premise that there isn't one.
