Yeah, not to mention why are Ptolemy's epicycles better examples since you said any theory will do? Especially since epicycles were added almost 2 thousand years ago, if you wanted to use it as "a better example" of keeping the theory alive with adding revisions then why not mention some new revisions that were added to geocentrism? Because nobody is adding any since it was proven wrong.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
