illogic

What specifically do you find that i've said which is illogical, and why?

Anyone who has ever taken an astronomy course knows pretty well that it is nonsense to maintain the earth is the center of celestial bodies

The whole point is it is taught as "nonsense" and excluded as a "maintainable" model on purely philosophical grounds. Not scientific ones!

The sun does not circle around the earth, the planet earth is a subsidiary of the solar system not its center.

So we are taught, yes. But that does not make it so! Much (if not most) of what we are taught is wrong, just like historically and for the same reasons.

Centuries of astronomical observation data shows that

There is no observational data that fundamentally contradicts a geocentric model. That's the whole point! The reason it is excluded is for philosophical reasons, not scientific ones. Even with strong evidence supporting it and contradicting currently popular models (such as anisotropic cmb/matter etc.).

Deferral to religious doctrine bases things on the supernatural and not the real.

I am not advocating for deferral to religious doctrine.

The movie The Principle is absolute crackpot, full of bizarre illogic.

So you've actually watched it? I didn't find anything illogical, or more importantly - historically inaccurate - about it, though admittedly it is a bit of a catholic (ex-catholic, to be specific) propaganda piece. That doesn't prevent it from being a good documentary.

Again, what specifically did you find illogical? Maybe list a few things and explain what logic they violate?

For heaven's sake do not take it seriously.

I think it worth seriously evaluating and considering - but i agree that nothing should be accepted before your own rigorous critical evaluation and validation.
