Sun Centered Vs. Earth Centered

The medieval view was based on scholasticism, while deductive logic and reasoning was relayed on the church authority. Prior to the Scientific Revolution, learning was mostly obtained through the teaching by the Catholic church thus in powering them over the uneducated people. In the the Middle Ages, science was used to better understand the mysterious works of God, but mostly learning was based on superstition. The population in the Middle Ages were ignorant to astronomy, germs, and the unknown areas. Until the Greek astronomer Ptolemy's work explained that the Earth was placed at the center of the universe, a theory known as Geocentric. It was not questioned or investigated by the people of the Middle Ages but accepted. Additionally, the church accepted the Geocentric system because it proved that man was the center of the God's eyes and signified that man was of great importance. In 1543 Nicholas Copernicus, a Polish mathematician and astronomer, published and dedicated his book “On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres” to Pope Paul III. He used mathematics to prove his hypotheses, explaining that the planets including Earth revolve around the Sun a theory known as Heliocentric. Despite his calculations, many scholars disagree with his theory and continued to believe in the Geocentric. In addition, Galileo Galileri's discoveries challenged the Geocentric and proved Copernicus correct by observing the skies with a homemade telescope. This challenged caused a primary controversy during the Scientific Revolution because this proved that the Bible was wrong about the motion in the universes. Concluding that the Bible could be wrong on other wonders of the world. Therefore, decreasing the reliability of the church to educate people and decreasing their power. This inspire scholars to find the truth and not through cold application of reason but rather through examination using mathematics and Scientific Method. The impact of the Scientific Revolution
