An attempt at shifting paradigms

One of you is a philosopher and the other is a mathematician. As such, you can both be classified as rational and reasonable people that understand logical areas of knowledge. Which is why I don't understand why you are both defending beliefs that are thousands of years old. Galileo gave you perfectly reasonable evidence for the fact that the Ptolemaic system of the universe, in which the sun orbits around us, has been proved wrong. According to the Ptolemaic hypothesis, "stars" are not supposed to be observed around other planets, but alas, Galileo found several objects orbiting around Jupiter. He was able to see the moons of Jupiter through his telescope and stated that they orbited around Jupiter, not Earth. This means that Earth is not the center of all orbits! If you two had simply looked through the telescope, you would have realized that the solid evidence against the Ptolemaic hypothesis.

Why will you not change your outdated beliefs in favor of a more pragmatic theory? I understand that Galileo shattered your previously held theological and scientific beliefs, but if the new ideas makes more sense, why should you preserve the thoughts and systems of Ptolemy and Aristotle? As Galileo stated so neatly, "What do you have to say about the principal philosophers of this academy who are filled with the stubbornness of an asp and do not want to look at either the planets, the moon or the telescope, even though I have freely and deliberately offered them the opportunity a thousand times?". Your paradigms, my friends, are trapping you into a certain frame of mind and making you close-minded to other ideas. I understand you may be frightened of a new theory that could revolutionize all of society, and that you hate being proven wrong because you may have emotional attachments to your beliefs. However, you are logical professionals. Won't you at least try to look with your own eyes instead of the eyes of your authorities?

Oh, and here's a video of an old man impersonating Galileo's trial before the Holy Office:
