You are correct. I am looking at one application only, solar system astronomy. What I am suggesting is that you replace the algebra based mathematics you learned in school, with the geometric based mathematics of Euclid, as modeled in the astrolabe, and you will see that the calculations of planetary motion become simpler than they are with algebra. You require only a constant or two for each planet (which is what you need now), and a gear assembly (linear equation in rads) for each ellipitcal equation ( 2 or more variables in quadratics) for each planet. By count of variables and operations required, the astrolabe is a simpler model than the Copernican equations, if you switch to geometry. That is the core of my claim; the choice of TC vs. HC is cultural, not inherent in mathematical simplicity, as Copernicus, et al claimed. The decision to subsume solar system mechanics under calculus-based physics is a cultural choice, requiring first the decision to allow analytic geometry to replace Euclidean.
well, cultural choice or not, maybe we have been given enough evidence that may actually be observed,
and written declarations by God to reach a little more than subjective cultural choice.
in other words, how far do we go with theoretical calculations?
right forward to today's computer modeling? < who is in charge of the info which
goes into the models?
the deck is stacked.....(more on that later).
Al Gore [an inconvenient spoof] and Co. got busted for the HOCKEY STICK/'Hide The Decline' fiasco.
they were and are so bent on convincing us of overpopulation [global warming] they lied and continue to do so.

who can we trust? Mr. Rockefeller, Carnegie and friends? the CFR?
Club of Rome
In 1991, the Club published The First Global Revolution.[5] According to this book, divided nations require common enemies to unite them, "
either a real one or else one invented for the purpose."[6] Because of the sudden absence of traditional enemies, "new enemies must be identified."[6] "
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself."[7]

oh right. same guys who love China's forced abortion policy.
apparently they can't be trusted.
Genesis 1:7
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were
under the firmament from the waters which were
above the firmament: and it was so.
And divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; the lower part of it, the atmosphere above, which are the clouds full of water, from whence rain descends upon the earth; and which divided between them and those that were left on the earth, and so under it, not yet gathered into one place; as it now does between the clouds of heaven and the waters of the sea. Though Mr. Gregory (a) is of opinion, that an abyss of waters above the most supreme orb is here meant; or a great deep between the heavens and the heaven of heavens, where, as in storehouses, the depth is laid up; and God has his treasures of snow, hail, and rain, and from whence he brought out the waters which drowned the world at the universal deluge.
Others suppose the waters above to be the crystalline heaven, which for its clearness resembles water; and which Milton (b) calls the "crystalline ocean"...

And God called the firmament Heaven.
Genesis 1:14
And God said, Let there be lights
in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Genesis 1:15
And let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
