Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

The Scientific Revolution it was a theory and it separated into 2, Geocentric and the Heliocentric. The heliocentric theory was that the sun was the center of the universe and that it was stationary. Geocentric theory was that instead of the sun being the center, they thought the world was the center of the universe. Geocentric was the first theory to come out, but was it the right one? (will be answered in the end).

Now the Scientific Revolution was a study of geocentric and heliocentric. It was to prove which one is right. So the people decided to test it out. They found that heliocentric was just one of the planets orbiting the sun. Heliocentric was the right theory because the earth does not revolve around the sun. Geocentric was wrong because the sun does not revolve around earth.

Galileo challenged the theory of heliocentric, saying that the earth did not center the universe. The catholic church believed in heliocentric, Therefore Galileo was put in arrest because of what he believed in.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The scientific method was just a new way of thinking. This challenged all the the other theory's such as creation and evolution. An example for this method was the Aristotle theory of falling object that everyone for 1500 yrs has believed that heavier object falls faster than lighter objects. Basically the method was just to challenge other theory's by experimenting over and over again until they can prove the theory is right or wrong. 

My personal thought of this method is more detailed than the other theory's and stuff. This method actually challenges and experiments the theory. This is also more believeable because its supports its answer with detailed information.

Evolution vs. Creation

the theory of evolution was that everyone was related like birds and fishes. i personally think that evolution happened overtime, people, animals and another other living things evolved overtime.

creation has many theory's behind it, but the most importent one is for its religious belief. i think that this theory is true, but it has some twist behind it that doesnt really support this theory. when it comes to creation i think of a adam and eve, the first 2 living things.

my opinion on this is that evolution makes more sense,but then there isnt enough information to support this theory and there's also false information. creation can be true, but it also doesnt have enough information to support its theory, so its hard to say
