Cosmology And The Koran. Geocentric?

That is not strictly true. Two, three or more interpretations can be true at the same time so long as they do not contradict one another in essence. For example the sun in an orbit can mean both the path of the sun as it traverses the sky as well as an actual orbit around the collective bodies that are influencing it. There are levels of truths which apply.

In Surah Fatihah we say "Guide us to the Striaght Path" there is no reason why this cannot be meant in a literal sense. That we ask Allah (SWT) to guide us on our journey to a quick and straight path, but at the same time it means the straight way - which is truth.

Only when a condition is completely opposite can it be either or. One meaning may encompass another.

Also, in the Qur'an the superiority of it we see it says "the zarra of good you shall see it, the zarra of evil you shall see it" - Zarra here is a moving target. So long as each generation that comes across this term understands it to mean the smallest possible thing, then we can say zarra is sand grain, as well as an atom as well as a quark, or smaller, depending on the knowledge of our time. This is one of the reasons why the Qur'an is relevant for all times.

With regards to the theory above I'll come back with a more academic response in time inshaAllah.
