Empirical deduction. we don't experience the earth move, but perceive everything else as in motion, therefore we are not in motion. Furthermore, Catholicism necessitates geocentricism, God's most important creatures cannot simply be on a rock like the other rocks we observe in the sky.

What is the importance of geocentric theory?
Geocentric theory was the first explanation of the solar system that completely explained and predicted the apparent motions of the planets. The church also embraced this theory and defended it against the heliocentric theory.
How did data gathered using Galileo's early telescope support the helioentric model?
None of it but Galileo's discoveries with the telescope were very important in raising questions about the old Ptolemaic theory, which was geocentric. However Galileo's discovery of Venus's phases was not a proof of the heliocentric principle because Tycho produced a geocentric model that explained Venus's phases.
What observation about the sun's motion did early astronomers use to supportnthe geo centric theory?
Early astronomers observed that the sun appeared to move across the sky in a consistent pattern, rising in the east and setting in the west. This observation was used to support the geocentric theory, which posited that the Earth was at the center of the universe and that all celestial bodies revolved around it.
The belief of early astronomers that the Earth was the center of the universe is called?
This is called the Geocentric model, from the latin prefix "Geo-" for earth or ground. This was dropped by the scientific community at the beginning of the renaissance for the Heliocentric model, which states that the sun is the center of the universe. However, even this has been abandoned. The general consensus now is that the universe has no definite center or, if it does, we can never find it due to the dimensional 'curvature' it has.
What is geocentric theory and who came up with it?
The geocentric theory is the theory which led people to believe that the earth was the centre of the universe and that the sun, planets and the starts all revolved around it. This was based on the anthropocentric idea according to which human beings are special creatures and that the universe exists purely for their benefit.The daily journey made by the sun, moon and planets and stars, through the sky suggested to early humans that all these bodies were orbiting the earth. There was no individual who came up with the theory.
What evidences support the early theory that the moon was once apart of the earth?
none.
Where did the early Europeans settle in the US?
the early europeans settled is the east coast
What scientist did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom?
John Dalton did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom when he proposed it in the early 19th century. His atomic theory was based on observational patterns rather than direct experimental data.
Who began their voyages in the early 1400s?
The Europeans. =D
What observatons about the sun's motion's did early astronomers use to support the geocentric theory?
Early astronomers observed that the Sun appeared to rise in the east and set in the west, creating a daily motion that suggested a celestial body revolving around a stationary Earth. They noted the Sun's changing position in the sky over the seasons, which aligned with the geocentric model's premise of Earth being at the center of the universe. Additionally, the apparent retrograde motion of planets was explained within this framework, as they believed heavenly bodies moved in circular orbits around the Earth. These observations reinforced the notion that Earth was the focal point of the cosmos.
