Sad part is that the heliocentricism debate was one founded on hard data and provable hypotheses on both sides. These people can’t form a coherent sentence let alone an independent thought
Yeah, a lot of people tend to forget that. The key point wasn't that one was a blind faith argument centered around religion and the other a shining bastion of scientific thought like people think. Its that one side was missing key data, that the concept of space might exist. When you can only process the direction "up" then its not hard to think everything you see above you is revolving around you. The data even fits since you aren't even thinking of looking at the half that disproves you. Just like Air had to be discovered, people didn't just start breathing one day, but they had no concept that there was something invisible there. They knew there was wind, they know there was smoke and poison and other contaminants OF the air. But they had no concept of Air itself.
Well it’s also the fact that the movement of the stars was studied so thoroughly but the instruments just weren’t sensitive enough to measure things like parallax correctly within our own solar system. The astronomical models with earth at the center were sophisticated and predicted cosmological movement better than early heliocentric models. It wasn’t really a lack of knowledge, it was a lack of precision.
That's because it orbits around the Earth, so whichever side isn't pointing at the Sun is automatically in view of the moon
(except for eclipses when their 2 orbits briefly line up)
Yeah, that makes no sense. Of the moon is orbiting, it should not be visible to one side at least half the time, just like the sun. Yet from opposite sides of this thing we're on (Florida for example) and Australia, the moon is ALWAYS visible all day and all night.
What you said does not make sense or explain this phenomena away
The moon is only visible during the day for part of the month. The other times it's below the horizon. Although seeing the moon in day is frequent because the lunar cycle is one month instead of the solar cycle of one year.
However this is caused by the moon' orbit being tilted. You can see here that the moon passes both sides frequently, so as the earth spins while the moon is tracking over, you have 15 days of the moon in the sky for everyone, and 15 without.
It was hard for people to accept Earth orbiting the Sun too.
Blasphemy! Just quit that! Eath is also flat.
If earth was flat Biden would try to pinch its nipples.
im dying here
Earth isn’t real! Look at the birds! They are holograms just like Jem!
Welcome to the last stop on the Reductio Ad Absurdum Train Line.
Truly, truly, truly outrageous!

If Trump said the earth was round, the dems would immediately start funnelling cash to the flat earth society via actblue and thousand currents
They will either stop uttering such nonsense or face the CONSEQUENCES we will enact upon them!

Earth? Sun? What are all these things?
Social constructs meant to turn away the wise disciples of wokeism. Pay them no mind.
It is weird that the moon is visible from opposite ends of the planet 24/7 though.
Just saying.

If we ever get to the moon, we'll know for sure.
