Here is how you can prove that the heliocentric model is false by observing the sun. The sun always moves in a clockwise direction, no matter what time of the year, no matter where on earth you are, as you see the sun move from one side of the horizon to the other, it will make a right turn, from your perspective. In the heliocentric model, when the south pole is tilting towards the sun, the sun should move in a counter clockwise direction, as it moves across the sky, from your perspective.
Same with star trails. The north star always stays stationary, all the other stars rotates around the north star. The farther south you get, the bigger of a circle the star trails will make, as they move around the point of the north star. Even when you get passed the equator, the star trails keep getting bigger and bigger, the further south you get, proving that there is no south pole. If the heliocentric model was correct, it be easy to prove that the star trails was getting smaller and smaler when viewed from say Australia, in a south ward direction, as they do in the north.
While the moon, based on every single observation I have every made, is a disc, not a ball, as I have only seen one side of the moon.
No. Track the position of the sun every hour you see it in the sky for a day, draw a line between the positions you have marked, and you will see that it moves in a clockwise circle, always.
Don't you think it's relative though? If you're facing North, then it's moving counterclockwise, but if you're facing South, you're moving clockwise. So this argument has no validity.
I do not think it is relative, no. The sun moves in a constant clockwise direction, whether you face North or South when looking at the sun. Only difference is if you are inside our outside the the circle the sun makes across our sky.

But if the sun rises in the east and sets in the west (which it does), doesn't it mean it moves counterclockwise?
