Personally,I don’t particularly care either way but if you accept that the earth is stationary and the universe revolves around it, then scientifically speaking you do have to explain a certain problem:
Alpha Centauri, the closest star to our solar system is 4 light years away. It would have to travel 24 light years to make one circuit around the earth (2 x pi x radius of 4). Thus it would have to travel 24 light years in 24 hours or 1 light year per hour.
That is approx 8,000 times the speed of light
A problem that needs to be explained before you can accept that the stars revolve around the earth.It doesn’t bother me but if you wish to be scientifically consistent, it needs to be solved.
