His theory was the idea that the earth as just another planet‚ but that the earth as well as other planets revolved around the sun. This theory destroyed the basic idea of Aristotelian physics. Many religious leaders declared Copernicus theory was false. Copernicus theory was later proven by Johannes Kepler to be correct. Galileo conducted controlled experiments to find out why things actually happened with the ideas of motion. He proved that gravity produced uniform acceleration. He went on

The findings of there work led to the belief that the Sun was the center of the Universe (Heliocentric model). Copernicus used mathematics (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) to form the Heliocentric model of the universe.

Nicholas Copernicus’s idea of a heliocentric world contradicted the Biblical stated idea of the Earth being the center of the universe.

One of the theories of the church was that the earth was the center of the universe and that other planets revolved around it. Copernicus was a genius who had a great interest in astronomy. It was he who stated that the sin was the hub around which all other planets revolved. In this case Copernicus was a non conformist

different definitions proposed by different scientists about what makes an acidic solution. Particularly‚ there were two scientists who independently proposed essentially the same theory about the definition of acids and bases. In 1923‚ Johannes Nicolaus Bronsted and Thomas Martin Lowry‚ from Denmark and England‚ respectively‚ came up and published the same theory on how acidic and basic solutions behaved.

Religion is an important part of peoples’ lives‚ it gives meaning in this chaotic world we live in to face another day. Collectively‚ Christianity is the world’s most practiced religion and possibly the most powerful. Many people have tested and tried that power and authority that the church holds‚ people such as Galileo‚ Giordano Bruno‚ and King Henry VIII of England‚ just to name a few. But no other has challenged the authority of the church like Charles Darwin and his "dangerous Idea." (qtd. in
