Dr. Robert Woodhouse | the whole range of Astronomy does not contain the proofs
"When we consider that the advocates of the earth’s stationary and central position can account for, and explain the celestial phenomena as accurately, to their own thinking, as we can ours, in addition to which they have the evidence of their senses, and scripture, and FACTS in their favour, which we have not; it is not without a shew of reason that they maintain the superiority of their system. [....] However perfect our theory may appear in our estimation, and however simply (?) and satisfactorily the Newtonian hypothesis may seem to us to account for all the celestial phenomena, yet we are here compelled to admit the astounding truth that, if our premises be disputed, and our facts challenged, the whole range of Astronomy does not contain the proofs of its own accuracy."
