Many have tried, and all have failed.
Men have devised all sorts of ingenious experiments that would demonstrate that the Earth physically moves through space, if such is the case. The experiments they designed involved lasers, mirrors, and other devices.
All such experiments shocked the authors by the results: no movement.
What about this then, proof for an orbiting Earth DECIDED THE AUTHORITY OF THE 1616 DECREE CONDEMNING A FIXED-SUN HELIOCENTRISM AS HERESY UPON WHICH THE 1633 SENTENCE WAS BASED:
‘For their part, Galileo’s adversaries, neither before nor after him, have discovered anything that could constitute a convincing refutation of Copernican astronomy. The facts were unavoidably clear, and they soon showed the relative character of the sentence passed in 1633. This sentence was not irreformable. In 1741, in the face of optical proof of the fact that the Earth revolves round the sun, Pope Benedict XIV had the Holy Office grant an imprimatur to the first edition of the Complete Works of Galileo.’ All involved in trial had good faith…..This implicit reform of the 1633 sentence became explicit in the decrees of the Sacred Congregation of the Index which removed from the 1757 edition of the Index works favouring the heliocentric theory…. In 1820, Canon Settele lodged an appeal with Pope Pius VII (1800-1823)… In 1822 a favourable decision was given. This papal decision was to receive its practical application in 1835 with the publication of a new and updated index.' ----- Pope John Paul II commission Report; L'Osservatore Romano, November 4th, 1992.’
Based on the above PROOFS: On the 7th December 1965 in the Vatican II Council’s Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, the text reads like so:
‘… The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are. We cannot but deplore certain attitudes (not unknown among Christians) deriving from a short-sighted view of the rightful autonomy of science; they have occasioned conflict and controversy and have misled many into opposing faith and science.’ --- Gaudium et spes, # 36.
Now according to Vatican II, science - with the help of God of course - proved the Earth moves about the sun, and this in turn PROVED the popes and theologians of 1616 and 1633 were little more than ignorant TROUBLEMAKERS.You couldn't make it up if you tried.
