Anti-Heliocentric

Definition

A person who rejects heliocentrism (the scientific model that Earth orbits the sun); broader than 'flat-earther' since it encompasses anyone denying solar-system consensus without necessarily endorsing any specific alternative model.

Example Usage

Jake keeps insisting the sun revolves around Earth—he's becoming a full-blown anti-heliocentric.
