Can I date a girl who doesn't believe in the heliocentric model of the solar system?

Probably not man. If she doesn't believe in heliocentric solar system, consider what else she doesn't believe in by a necessary deduction:
moon landing
deep space probes and explorers
structure of galaxies and universe at large
big bang
basically all cosmological models that current scientists use
Aside from the necessary consequences, consider what else she most likely doesn't believe:
spherical shape of the earth
evolution
earth older than 4000 years
Can you really date someone with these beliefs? Absolutely not. The most you should do is string her along and bang her a few times. Anything greater than that and you're in serious danger of being infected with whatever brain eating parasite currently resides in her, most likely going by the name of religion.
Good luck man.
I don't see how you can eliminate all Republicans from your dating pool. It sounds kind of intolerant to me.

A higher rate of Republicans than Democrats know that the Earth revolves around the sun. In fact the most likely people to know this are conservative Republicans.
49% of Democrats think astrology is scientific.

What do any of those things have to do with believing in a heliocentric model?
It depends on how she looks.
Pics?
No

In my experience, most people who hold a helicentric view of the universe have such a view because of religious beliefs. I've never seen, or heard, a heliocentric argument that doesn't originate from religious beliefs and use those beliefs in it's argument. I've also never encountered a non religious person who argued against helicentrism.
So, this means that most people who believe in a geocentric or non heliocentric model of the solar system are likely to subscribe to the other listed beliefs. Some apply simply because if you think helicentrism is wrong it means the others are also wrong because our fundamental understanding of the universe is wrong. Others apply because if you're disregarding helicentrism yo're basically arguing that we are mistaken on our most basic scientific assumptions and calculations, and if you don't trust them there, you're highly unlikely to trust them are more contentious and debatable conjectures.
Note: It's possible that all the people I've run across or seen mention such things online are non representative of the population at large, but I don't really have a reason to suspect this.
It's false. The planets don't revolve around the sun, the sun and planets revolve around the center of mass between them.
While this is still inside the sun for most planets, for Jupiter it's not. Jupiter revolves around a point not far from the sun but not the sun itself. The solar system as a whole can have a center of mass outside the sun too.
No, you cannot, it's impossible. Any relationship with a girl who rejects the heliocentric model is only platonic.
ZING!!!

Newtonian physics is so last century anyway. The planets all move straight through curved timespace.

Yes, it is technically not true. People use heliocentric because it's easier to understand for the average layperson that isn't prepared or able to think about concepts like gravity and center of mass.
If that is what the OP meant, then he got me hook, line, and sinker.
Thank you Mr. Bad Wiggins for yet again rightfully pointing out that you are the smartest poster of the thread.
