This is nothing more than a Commentary on Aristotle and is purely "scientific".  Last time I checked, St. Thomas was a Doctor of Doctrine/Theology, and not a Doctor of Physics.  So this is an incredibly weak and pathetic "appeal to authority" when St. Thomas is no authority on matters of science.  This would be like me appealing to the authority of a professor of Latin for a matter of science.

Why don't you read it? Maybe you would learn something.

The same chapter includes the Saint's commentary on the philosopher's proof of geocentrism. 

Big Bang and all the other atheistic science nonsense also requires a heliocentric solar system... 

Geocentrism provides extremely strong evidence to support Creationism. It's what the Church has believed for most of Her history. And it works with Flat/Globe/Young/Old Earth models & theories.

It also works with ALL observable astronomy.

The "Tychos model" (Tycho Brahe's model + with the post-Brahe notion of binary systems = Mars & Sun are a binary pair orbiting Earth; Mars being the red dwarf; moonless Mercury & Venus are actually the Sun's moons) even provides a beautiful representation of the unseen reality. The math within it greatly elevates the importance of the Moon and its relation to all other nearby heavenly bodies...

In the Tychos binary model, one can find in the difficult-to-look-directly-at Sun a representation of the Father--creator & sustainer of all life; in Mars, we see a "sacrificed" red dwarf star that can be stared at directly from Earth. Mars can be seen as a type for the Son -- especially as it is visible but its true glory is hidden here in the Church Militant (as within the Eucharist). The Sun & Mars' beautifully-mapped binary trochoidal orbit around Earth can be seen as a type of the Holy Spirit. And the Moon can be seen as a type for Mary -- the Moon is, after all, below Her feet. And she is the "glue" that holds it all together. 

Perhaps the most compelling evidence for the binary Sun & Mars geocentric model is the fact that modern astronomy has determined that the Sun is the only observable star in the sky that *is not* part of a binary pair. The size ratio between the Sun and its red dwarf (Mars) is identical to other observable binary pairs.  

Anyway, this 2min video shows how the horizon rises to eye level as you gain altitude.  On a ball earth the opposite would happen. 

Horrible video proof. The marker the guy uses is a reflection of a building on the ground. If they are moving away from the ground, the reflection of what's on the ground will also change. And it is an unsteady video, and short, low altitude ascent. Figuring out what is optical illusion and how things would really look on a globe earth without error are beyond most people's abilities. Let us not open ourselves to being so easily deceived by things that are of relatively little importance to our purpose in life.

For the most part, I agree with you there.

But on the other hand, some degree of common sense also enters into it. We've never seen the curve, water seeks its own level, you shouldn't be able to see buildings/mountains/land masses "below the bulge" which has happened countless times, etc. I certainly don't feel any kind of motion, despite there supposedly being SEVERAL high-speed forces acting on us at the present moment (spin of the earth, orbit of the earth, and the motion of the whole solar system through the galaxy).

Gravity has also never been observed in the laboratory. There's supposedly some magic point where mass is supposed to start attracting other mass. But this has never been observed. Gravity is just a theory. Even the atheists admit gravity is one of the "weakest forces in the universe". Oh, and they had to come up with Dark Matter and Dark Energy to save their Big Bang/spinning planets cosmological model.

The Tychos Model is not "my" model.

It is a compelling secular model that provides very strong evidence for geocentrism, which is a concept that Holy Mother Church has proclaimed for most of Her existence. And still, today, geocentrism is dismissed almost as callously and quickly as "flat earth." 

I bring attention to it here because it doesn't show up when I do searches--leading me to believe many regulars around here may not be exposed to it.

Interesting way of avoiding the points I raised.

Your points, as best as I can observe them, are that:

1. Any model that involves any movement of the Earth goes against what all of the Church fathers believed.
2. The Holy Office has condemned all models wherein Earth moves in any way.

Correct. Try finding a Church Father who believed the earth moved.

Point 2 is likewise easily proven:

The Sacred Tribunal being therefore of intention to proceed against the disorder and mischief thence resulting, which went on increasing to the prejudice of the Sacred Faith, by command of His Highness and of the Most Eminent Lords Cardinals of this supreme and universal Inquisition, the two propositions of the stability of the Sun and the motion of the Earth were by the theological Qualifiers qualified as follows:

The proposition that the Sun is the centre of the world and does not move from its place is absurd and false philosophically and formally heretical, because it is expressly contrary to the Holy Scripture.

The proposition that the Earth is not the centre of the world and immovable but that it moves, and also with a diurnal motion, is equally absurd and false philosophically and theologically considered at least erroneous in faith.

If you're interested in geocentrism Daly's study is a must-read. https://www.ldolphin.org/geocentricity/Daly.pdf

I am very ignorant on these matters. As such, I am not in a position to contest your points.

I also wasn't avoiding your points.

In my ignorance, I was clarifying that the Tychos model is not my own.

And while secular, I believe the Tychos Model is useful in helping people grasp that schoolbook astronomy is largely anti-Christian propaganda. Even in this secular Tychos model, types of the unseen reality can be found. I find that interesting. And helpful in our efforts to evangelize the full Traditional Catholic Truth.

All good my man, you did avoid my points,. however.

FE is even better for evangelization and I find arguing for it much easier than only geocentrism. Gets too technical.
