The geocentric theory was held not just before 1543, but before the 1600s. It was a scientific belief and a theory that stated the Earth was the center of the universe and that everything else was held in orbit around it.
Plato's Theory of Astronomical Convulsion
Planet Earth was held to be the centre of the Universe and everything else in the sky was held to revolve around Earth.

I think you mean 'proved false'. To falsify means to deliberately deceive, as in 'falsifying a passport'. The theory is associated with Ptolemy.
Both accept that there was a time (if that word has meaning in this contest) when our Universe did not exist. The Steady State Theory (now almost completely rejected) held that our Universe is infinite in time and age. Both accept that our Universe came from SOMETHING. The former (basically) accepts that the something did not have intelligence, purpose, or morality; the latter accepts that the something did have those attributes.
