Modern geocentrism

The term modern geocentrism refers to a belief that the Earth is the center of the universe and does not move, motivated by a literal interpretation of certain Biblical passages, or in the case of Catholic geocentrists, Scripture authoritatively interpreted by statements of Church Fathers and various Popes. The geocentrist views are held in the awareness that essentially all modern scientists see no evidence that the universe has any center. Philosophically, since the concepts of center and absolute motion are not clearly defined and no evidence distinguishing any motion of the earth from motion of the universe is available, geocentrism in and of itself cannot be falsified and should be considered a religious or philosophic idea, not a scientific theory.
