This concept held up pretty well until: 1). Galileo turned a telescope on Jupiter and saw moons circling Jupiter instead of Earth. 2). Kepler showed that the motions of the planets, observed for thousands of years, could be neatly, easily and simply explained if the planets actually revolve around the sun instead of the Earth.
