Do I really need more? I became convinced by solar observation. I tried very hard to understand f.e. model and imagine what I would observe in that world. It just didn't match.
Then my wife and I sat down with a couple golfballs and tried to understand the phases of the moon on a round earth. At first I was like "wtf this is bullshit" but then it sort of became clear how it works, and I can now understand why the moon is shadowed the way it is, all month long. That helped a lot.
It just explains things the best of any model I've heard. All the things.
Is NASA lying about the moon? Of course. But does that mean every telescope image you've ever seen is fake? No.
Do I believe NASA has probes that go out to those planets and a rover on Mars? I'm very skeptical... especially about the rover on mars.
But telescopes are real, and if you get a big enough one you can see the other planets. They are round too. And they have observable orbits around the sun.
That's one of the things that the heliocentric model helps us understand, why the planets appear where they appear.
