The main aspect of this astronomical belief was that the Earth was considered to be the center of the solar system, and universe, because of how planets and the sun seemed to revolve around the Earth. During the 16th century, however, it was proved wrong, and replaced by the more commonly accepted heliocentric model (the sun being the center of the solar system). The person who proved it wrong was a well renowned astronomer by the name of Galileo Galilei, whose ideas were considered a threat to the validity of scripture, and thus religion (another incident where religion impeded upon the advancement of scientific knowledge). Pope: "WTH, Galileo! YTheck are you devising an alternative to our geocentric model based on the geocentric theory???" |
