Because it very obviously does. It's such an obvious fact, that most people believe it.
Actually, until somewhat recent history, it was not at all obvious that the earth orbited the sun.
You do know that Galileo Galilei was imprisoned by the Catholic Church in 1633 for demonstrating the Earth orbits the sun, right?
You actually think, that to our ancestors, standing and watching the stars move overhead, and the sun and moon moving across the sky, it looked like it was the Earth that was doing the moving?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

He wasn't fucked with for noticing it..everyone who'd looked already knew. He was in trouble for saying it when the church said otherwise even though that same church already knew otherwise.
Which is a long winded way of saying that they were absolutely willing to torture a person on account of saying things they already knew and believed to be true. The religion is not salvageable. It's a death cult, and needs to end -has needed to end...for centuries.

Go ahead, tell us all about the meaning of life that has nothing to do with your dream god? Is there any meaning to life aside from it?
No heaven, no hell, no punishments and no rewards...sup?

Is there any such thing aside from, or apart from, your own superstitions about it?
Tell us, tell us that the meaning of life is true even if your stupid personal religion isn't true? Tell us that there is such a thing, for starters.
