Heliocentrism Vs Catholic Church

As Francis Bacon once stated “A prudent question is one-half of wisdom”, and as Albert Einstein also said “The important thing is to never stop questioning and a person who never questioned never tried anything new, it is becoming impeccably obvious that without questioning on the things, one can never be successful and sometimes questions can be more important than the answers. The Scientific Revolution was an era that people just started asking more questions about the religious beliefs. Because scientists strongly disproved the beliefs that had been inherited for hundreds of years, Catholic Churches had excommunicated many scientists and even kicked them out of the society. Despite of such intense oppressions from the Catholic churches,

These remarkable outputs directly supported the idea of Heliocentrism theorized by Copernicus which were in direct opposition to the church’s teachings that Earth is at the center of the universe and everything revolve around us.

Galileo Galilei once asserted “I don’t feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use”. This quote concededly demonstrates why the church had to desperately oppose his
