Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

The theory of church came first as civilization grew and grew to a more complex understanding of the world as they said that everything in the universe moves around Earth. This was the Geocentric theory was when most of the beliefs in the world were about church it took 1,800 years for people such as Galileo and Nicolaus known as Copernicus. People that have stood up to the beliefs of the church about facing the "facts" about the existence of humans and all living things.

Nicolaus Copernicus was the first astronomer to display the theory to the world called heliocentric. the heliocentric theory was mostly about that the sun was in the middle of the universe and Earth was rotating around it. Galileo Galilei made a book explaining things about physics and astronomy that went against all beliefs of the church and the pope at that time Urban went by the scripture which had said that the earth is in the center of the universe. They had put Galileo on trial for writing a book about the sun being in the center of the universe and going against the scripture of the church. Galileo couldn't publish the book and had to say that the earth was in the center while still knowing it wasn't. It was either that or they would of killed him. The church and Galileo had different thoughts about whether the sun was in the center or the earth was.

Scientic Revolution:scientific method

The scientific revolution started when people in the early 1500hundreds started to question religious things. for example like the world is the center of the universe, people such as Aristotle and Galileo were people to started to ask questions abaut the religious "facts". Aristotle had a theory that heavy things fall faster than ligther things, many people believed that till someone named Galileo tried testing this theory after many years after Aristotle said it. Galileo went to the top of the Tower of Pisa and proved Aristotle wrong after he saw that different weigthed objects land and different rates. years after that issac newton gave to history the thoerys of gravity and laws of physics.

Evolution Vs. Creation



Evolution
The theory of Evolution was said by Charles Darwin. He said that all most everything that had organism was created by evolving from state to state but always keeping the main structure of life. The only change that it had was some mutations but it kept the original form of life till it turn out to be main basics of life. Charles Darwin wasn't the first one to put this idea in the world,Ancient Greek philosophers had an idea about the theory about evolution. They saw it mostly on animals on how can a bird develop wings and learn how to fly,Dolphins and whales and many other sea creatures developed blowholes to learn how to breath oxygen and swim under water and manage to keep that oxygen for a while underwater without drowning. Most scientist believe that the closest prestoric animal that humans evolved from were animals such as Gorillas,Monkeys and Apes.

Creationism

Creationism is the religious beliefs, it explains on how there's a mighty being that has the power to say and judge us humans on how to behave and to do with our life's. He tells us this by ancient books called bibles and those books tell us on what he would of want from us to live life.Creationism is mostly about people believing that there's an afterlife that there's a code for living life in a way such as that everything we do in life is going to come back to us on our deaths. Because the only fact about all humans is that we will all at some point die. Creationism makes humans to try to not think as a death as an end. it makes us believe that the more good we are as humans the best we are gonna live in an afterlife. There are many religions in the world that indicate the same thing about a mighty being that will help us when we are in need, that it will forgive us so we can be a better person in this life.

I was raised in a Catholic family therefore i am a catholic but somehow i can relate more to Evolution that Creationism because Evolution to me makes sense, i am that kind of person that has to see to believe and being in church sounds to me lame because Ive noticed that many humans want answers and they cant find them and they are so desperate to find answers that they believe whatever catches their attention until they actually start to believe it. i think that if you put a person that has never been in society into society they will most likely believe in Evolution because it makes sense. Creationism is to complicated and personally i would just choose Evolution over Creationism.
