Copernicus and the Trial of Galileo

There are two theories of the solar system, heliocentric and geocentric. The first theory was Geocentrism, the idea that the Earth was the center of the universe and all the planets revolve around the Earth. During the Scientific Revolution, a man named Nicolaus Copernicus came up with Heliocentrism, the idea that the sun was the center of the solar system, not the Earth. Copernicus' theory was in fact the correct one.
The trial of Galileo was an example of science vs. religion. The church accused Galileo of heresy, crimes against the church. The church said the theory of heliocentrism went against the words of the bible. They thought since Jesus descended to Earth to become man, it was fitting that the Earth was the center around which all other things moved.
