Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

One of the theory's was the Geocentric and that was the old one. It had placed the earth at the center of the soloar system and everything that orbits it. The geocentric model was created by Greek astronomers assumed that the celestial bodies moving about the Earth followed perfectly circular paths.

The second theory was that the sun is stationary and at the center of the universe.

Historically, heliocentrism was apposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center. This is the correct theory.

The trial of Galileo was very important and it happenend in the year of 1633. Galieo had scientific skills and it helped prove the theory of heliocentrism. The catholic church was putting Galileo on trial because he had published a book about that the sun is the center of the universe and the planets move around it. Galileo had belived in heliocentrism and the Catholic church had belived in heliocentrism and the church wanted to know the truth.

Evolution V.S. Creation

First im gunna start off with evolution. Charles Darwin theory of evolution is know by many in the world and half the world belives his theory is correct and the other half disagrees. Charles Darwin theory was that all life is related somehow and evoloved from, something else because in our world some things look alike. For example his theory of evolution is that we could have decended from the Apes and the Chimpans. Also,Thats why Naural selection was that some animals had differents genes like he had talked about a finch bird that on 3 island its beak was a different size.

Creation is that a belief in religion. Which ever religion you are you have beliefs that God created you. Creation is the life found on the earth and universes etc. Also, almost the first thing you think about when thinking about creation is Adam and Eve. There were the first 2 humans on the earth. Adam was created first and then Eve. Creation is mostly bases on religion.

In my opinion, im gunna say im nit sure what to belive in because both creation and evolution has got me thinking and research on it is makeing me think i belive in both. So right now im 5o% and 50& in cration and evolution.
