It says in the Wikipedia article that there was no observable parallax until they had good telescopes, so obviously it is very minute.

Oh and how is stellar parallax explained within the geo-centric view?
Out of interest I did a bit of google-ing and didn’t find anything that supports that
And as far as I can workout stellar parallax can only be explained by a moving earth – otherwise you would have to account for have the stars moving around in all kinds of odd circular motions

. . . the simplest proof is that comets are seen to orbit the sun and not the earth . . .
. . . the tail of a comet is never seen to be effected in a way that is not consistent with astronomy’s view of a sun centred solar system . . .

FFS just get on with it and explain how your geo-centricism explains obsrvations and newtonian physics

Between stellar parallax and what we know about gravity its certain that the earth orbits the sun there is no other explanation that covers those and the other observations we have
Astronomy for beginners – start here:

It covers some of the math astronomy uses
If the above doesn’t help – perhaps you might say why you have a problem with astronomy’s explanation of what we can observe

Comets show the repulsive force is stronger than the attractive force in regards to the sun, so obviously comets orbit earth.edit on 12-2-2012 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)

Heliocentrism is a spin on sunworship. Attempting to make the sun the centre of the system rather than Earth.
The outcome is removing Earth from unique position it is in.
God sent His Son here to die for the sins of the world. It is the focus of His attention both spiritually and physically.
Heliocentrism attacks the core doctrines of the bible.
