Please Convince Me The Earth Is Moving And Not At The Center Of The Universe

How were the experiments faulty?

What observations have shown the Earth to rotate and revolve around the Sun?

Don't forget the following passage Isaiah 44:22 "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in."

"four corners" are idioms, meaning “everywhere on the earth” or “from all directions.” The Bible does use idioms, figurative language, poetry etc.

Oh, so now we're able to use idioms, figurative language because it fits the observations and the Bible?  

Retrograde motion was one problem with the geocentric model.  The attempt to fix this was the eccentric and equant model which only caused more problems.  Such as Venus and Mercury were both observed to be on an epicycle around the sun.  

But if this were the case then Venus would be unable to show multiple phases like the moon.  Which was observed to not be the case, so we know that Venus goes around the sun and that Earth must as well.  

Retrograde motion of planets can be explained in a geocentric model http://youtu.be/DDfZ6kTHvE0
