I should point out that, contrary to what is implied in
the cycling news article
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2005/sep05/sep23news3
the sun and planets do revolve around the earth, it just
depends on your point of view. Interestingly, it seems that
the exact same thing is true of the urinary EPO test -- its
correctness also seems to depend on where you stand.

At the scales concerned, it would be foolish to deny the gravitational
effects on each other of the bodies that you mention.

That was a tad general, but I think most people understood what was meant.
C'mon, you must have done astronomy at school? Gravitation, parallax
observations, retrograde motion, prediction of orbits, and the like, mean
that the sun has to be at the centre of "our" solar system and the planets
revolve around it. That's what experiments have shown. Otherwise it gets
messy.
