Ah, yes. The Chewbacca defence.If the Sun were orbiting the Earth then it would mean that Newton's law of universal gravitation and laws of motion were all wrong. That is unless the Earth were much more massive than the Sun, in which case the other planets would be orbiting the Earth too rather than orbiting the Sun. However, our observations seem to indicate that Newton’s laws are pretty damned safe. Of course there is always the chance that sweaty little angels are pushing all the bodies around under the direction of some trickster god to make it look like Newton was right.
Your argument has one fatal flaw that makes it all wrong: it's logical and it depends on evidence. Therefore it makes no sense to faith. And meaning. And when you say things like that, baby Jesus cries. Oh, and information, something about information... Ah, yes, your theory supposes an increment of information that Darwinian evolution requires. And quantum consciousness. If the Earth revolves and rotates and wobbles consciousness would get dizzy, and are you dizzy? No, right? I'm dizzy, and what does that say? Huh? It makes no sense.
It is just as applicable to geocentrism as any other position.
