I've heard of an Italian by the name of Galileo Galilei who has suggested that the Earth may revolve around the Sun but the astronomer community has mocked his work so we should discount such heresy.

If that's your argument, you have no argument.
What a rubbish argument. Carl Sagan had something to say in the matter of this particular brainfart:

The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
