Since the advent of relativity theory in the early 1900s, the laws of physics have been written in [[covariance|covariant]] equations, meaning that they are equally valid in any frame. Heliocentric and geocentric theories are both used today, depending on which allows more convenient calculations.

There is scientific and biblical evidence that the geocentric view of the solar system is correct.

There is however scientific and biblical evidence that the geocentric view of the solar system is correct.
    
The Michelson-Morley experiment performed in 1887 was an attempt to detect the absolute motion of the Earth through space.  They failed, and all similar experiments since have also failed.  This indicates that the Earth is stationary; however Scientists rejected this conclusion and choose instead to dismiss the idea of absolute motion and the ether concept.  The theory of relativity states that absolute motion and attempts to explain the result by postulating that space and time are distorted.
