@Always, beautiful vort!
Either way, “simple” is completely relative (no pun intended!):
It’s easy to say, “Let Hashem create the world in the simple way” – but what is actually simple?
In our case: If you open up the Tanach, Gemara, Rambam, etc. – it is much more simple to say that the sun goes around the earth.
If you walk outside and look at the sky – it is much more simple to say that the sun goes around the earth.
If you ask any scientist from before the times of Copernicus in the 1500s – they’ll tell you simply that the sun goes around the earth.
If you ask Copernicus and the scientists until the 1900s – they’ll tell you simply that the earth goes around the sun.
If you ask Einstein or any scientist since the 1900s – they’ll tell you that neither way is simple, and both models are very complicated due to the theory of relativity. However, when making a “Science made simple” video, or a simple astronomical diagram – it is more simple to portray the sun going around the earth.
The only eternal truth that can tell us what lays beyond our simple knowledge is the Torah.
