Man has come up with this model that states the sun is the center of our soloar system. It has also stated that all of the planets revolve around that sun. How do we know, CONCLUSIVELY, that this is true? I know that's what we have accepted, but what if the earth REALLY IS the center of the universe?

i think you guys mean 'solar system' but if indeed you /do/ mean universe, you all fail because there is no exact "center" of the universe. But the sun IS the center of the solar system, try reading about it moron.

Uh...Telescopes...Satellites...Discovery probes...observations made while in space...take your pick
How do we know, CONCLUSIVELY that there is no little people watching over us? I know that we have accepted the fact that there are no invisible beings, but what if there REALLY IS?
Fixed.
If we have accepted a fact, then there is probably conclusive evidence that prove the fact to be true.
I don't know- maybe because we've had scientists and satellites sent out into space and have had them confirmed it- and because if it was, in fact, the center of the universe, a lot of theories would be made impossible- such as how the seasons work, and the lunar stages.
Everybody is completely free to describe motion in any coordinates you like. Principle of Relativity. Read your Albert Einstein ;-) There is no 'real' center of the universe. This is a concept which is rather difficult to understand for Fundies, who try to find everywhere 'absolute' truths.
The weird painter Salvador Dali once declared the train station of the french town of Perpignan to be the center of the universe. And it is impossible to prove him otherwise... he defined his personal center of the universe in this train station, and this opinion is as 'true' as any other coordinates.
Geocentrism is ok for calculating orbits like satellite trajectories, but it gets rather nasty quite fast when you try to describe the solar system in geocentric coordinates. The other planets then get very funny orbits. This drove the ancient philosophers into madness (epicycle theory)
And the whole thing becomes completely ridiculous when we try to describe the galaxy, or even the universe in geocentric coordinates.

Actually, Britain is the centre of the universe - and Al Murray (Pub Landlord) can prove it:

You may think the sun shines out of your arses, Ruptured Retards, but you'll never be the centre of the world. After all...
Who invented Time Zones, and placed the Greenwich Meridian where it is? We British INVENTED time!

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
