The Bible does not prove that the Sun orbits the earth, although early scholars may have interpreted it that way. In the following passage, it is recorded that Joshua commanded the Sun to stand still. However, it was and is idiomatic to say that the Sun rises and sets, although we now understand that the earth revolves causing the Sun to appear to move through our field of vision.

Joshua 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

Why don't Christian conservatives believe Jesus was a liberal?

Christian conservatives often prioritize traditional values, limited government, and personal responsibility, which align more closely with conservative political ideologies. They may interpret Jesus's teachings on personal responsibility and morality as being more aligned with conservative principles rather than liberal ones. Additionally, there is theological diversity within Christianity, and interpretations of Jesus's political or social views can vary among different Christian groups.

Does the elliptical cross section created when a plane cuts through a cone help prove that orbits of the Earth and other planets are elliptical in nature?

It would be more accurate to say that the mathematical study of the nature of an ellipse, showing that it can result from cutting through a cone in a particular way, helps to understand the nature of elliptical planetary orbits, but it does not prove that planets have elliptical orbits. It requires actual astronomical observation of planetary orbits to determine what kind of orbits they are.

What is isochronous satellites?

An isochronous satellite is one that orbits the earth in one day. So it orbits the earth as the same speed as the earth rotates. Most satellites that are isochronous are infact geostationary satellites as they also stay in the same position above the earth. However these satellites occupy a very specific orbit above the equator. It is possible to have isochronous satellites that aren't geostationary however getting them to remain in orbit would prove difficult.
