 Not only did Copernicus seek to re-order the heavens,
 he conspicuously ignored Earth's place at the center
 of her caelestial sphere. That was his fatal blunder.

 Copernicus tried to confuse the heavens, re-numbering
 Earth's caelestial sphere first instead of eighth, as
 Nick renumbered Saturn second instead of seventh, and
 Jupiter third instead of sixth, also renumbering Mars
 fourth instead of fifth, Earth fifth instead of tenth;
 IGNORING THE MOON he renumbers Venus sixth instead of
 third, Mercury seventh instead of second, ad nauseam!

   This first chart summarizes synodic & sidereal
   periods of the planets in mean solar days, and
   mean tropical years, to measure sidereal years.
   This is especially important, since it proves
   that the order of the heavens is established by
   sidereal--NOT synodic--periods of the planets:

*NOTE:Ura rules Earth's sidereal year =~ 1.00004
     Nep rules Earth's tropical year =~ 1.00000
     Plu rules Earth's own geocenter =~ 0.00000.

Cf. the above with this chart dated cir. 440 AD, which
agrees with Greco-Roman authorities dated centuries BC;
that's many centuries *BEFORE CHRIST*. You do the math:

THIS DEMONSTRATES CONCLUSIVELY THAT ancient astronomers
knew full-well that the planets orbit with the Sun, and
knew the Earth is the center of her caelestial firmament.
Notably, the explictly sidereal numbering of the heavens
coupled with the very obvious fact that the Earth is the
center of her caelestial sphere, these facts prove that
Copernicus was a heretic. Only "Fundies" ignore evidence,
choosing instead to perpetuate their Copernican delusion.

For further information on how easy it is to observe
and predict the synodic -and- sidereal periods of the
ten planets of heaven, just as the ancients did, see:
