Copernican Heliocentrism impact to Modern Science Michael White WGU February 24‚ 2011 Thesis Statement: Nicolas Copernicus Heliocentrism helped to revolutionize science and catapult man into space. Introduction: Early science and astronomers believed the earth to be the center of the universe; this was known as the Geocentric Model. Prior to the 17th Century the Catholic Church held onto and defended the Geocentric Model as the divine order of planetary alignment and man’s hierarchy in

Galileo Galilei is well known by many‚ but it is hard to pin point the exact reason behind this apparent fame‚ he became famous in terms of early empirical science late on in his life‚ when he wrote his text on the dynamics of rigid bodies Dialogues concerning the Two New Sciences ’ which is a forerunner of Isaac Newton ’s Laws of Motion. However this branch of science was not his passion or what he spent most of his life arguing and theorising about. Galileo was interested in the Copernican theory

Before the Scientific Revolution‚ the Bible or Greek philosophers such as Aristotle or as-tronomers like Claudius Ptolemy‚ whose ideas were sanctioned by the church‚ answered any questions regarding the natural world. In the bible it writes‚ "Mankind is the most important of God’s creations and occupies the centre of his universe." Astronomers there-fore stated that‚ "The earth is at the centre of the universe. The sun‚ the moon and the stars all move around the earth." During the scientific revolution

Kepler: Scripture vs. Astronomy Johannes Kepler was one of the first natural philosophers that defended the design of the cosmos created by Nicolas Copernicus. Kepler argued that Copernicus’s system of the universe was not only the correct structure that man had been searching for‚ but also that by knowing this‚ he was able to more fully understand the thinking of his Creator. In this paper I will demonstrate how Kepler was able to use Christian theological principles in order to connect the

Even though at the time of this theory there was nothing that proved it wrong until the Jupiter moons proved Ptolemy wrong‚ they did not prove Copernicus right.
