Don't just quote the overfamous quote from it, read the work. There are probably translations to English as well as to French, if not in separate books, at least in Loeb editions, as I have found there is in the Budé edition.
You should also check out how St Thomas Aquinas in Contra Gentes and St John Damascene in the start of De Fide Orthodoxa start proving the existence of God philosophically basically because God turning the universe around us each day by divine fiat is THE way in which Geocentrism can work. Of course, Epicure thought an atheist and a geocentric went well together, but I think HIS model has been very thoroughly refuted since Tycho Brahe started pushing holes in it.
