It may or may not be fallacious. Relativity says it's a valid model, but obviously not true since that would almost undeniably imply design.

So let's look at it another way:

Is there one technological or medical advance that would be hindered by it? In other words, what knowledge that truly contributes to the enrichment of the peace and prosperity of mankind is abated by a geocentric view of the universe?

That's a philosophical answer.

But that wasn't the question. What medical or technological advance that truly enriches the life of mankind on earth would have been hindered by a geocentric view of the universe?

You haven't named one yet.

You said, "Whatever you say," when I suggested the question. Now you're complaining?

Maybe try to come up with an answer?

You mean probes? But not necessarily. The math may be easier, but that's no indication of the truth of a matter.

But . . . the question was, and I quote:

OK, I’ll answer your question. I don’t see the geocentric model hurting anyone.

In other words, there is no medical or technological advance beneficial to the well-being of mankind that you know of now, that would have been hindered, had a geocentric (and valid--according to Relativity) model prevailed.

Is that what you're saying?

No. I’m saying it’s a theory, so as a theory, people are free to question and entertain it. You, sir, are what was known as a sophist in Ancient Greece. Plato, famously, battled sophistry in his writings in an attempt to seek the truth. However, sophists, much like you, ultimately don’t care about the truth, they only care about the argument for the sake of arguing…or perhaps, amusement.
