The heliocentric theory states that the sun is fixed at the center of the universe. The geocentric theory believes that earth is the center of the universe. The Catholic Church believes in the geocentric theory. The Trial of Galileo was about Galileo going against the bible and proving that the earth is not in the center of the universe. After the Catholic Church found out that Galileo was going against the bible they put him on trail in 1633. The Catholic Church labeled Galileo guilty and he was tortured in jail.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method
Scientific method is a series of steps that scientist use to solve a problem. Using the scientific method id an experiment the first step is to identify the problem or the question asked in the experiment. After you figure what you are trying to solve or figure out then you do a background check on your experiment. You make a hypothesis which is an educated guess n what you think would happen. Now you start your experiment collect data while you’re testing your experiment. After you collected data analyze the data and then draw a conclusion. Check if your hypothesis is true or false if it’s false write down what you did wrong. Finally you write your report on the experiment and what happened.
I think the scientific method is a really good method use to solve problem it help you out when you need do an experiment. It makes life easier for scientist especially

Evolution Vs. Creation
Charles Darwin the father of evolution made a theory that humans animals, and all living thing have evolve for other living things in the past. Natural selection is when species have traits that they use for their advantage. Ever generation they have more traits to help them survive.
My opinion on this is that I don’t believe in evolution I believe in creation everyone was created for a purpose. The reason why I believe in creation because am a Muslim and I was grown up to believe that there a god and he created everything on earth. I get how Darwin say that humans evolve from apes because we kind of look like them they have thumbs and there the only type of animals that have thumbs like humans. When I about how Darwin thinks we came from apes when they have small brains but us we have bigger brains than apes so we are smarter. Then you think harder about Darwin theory is good and bad at the same time.
