Galileo centuries before the Scoopes trail in 1925 had set a book out stating that the world did not sit on the center of the universe. Bought him on trail agaisnt the Romen Catholic Church. The humanism theory came first for the fact that the pope and people thought that the sun had revovled around theEarth. It took away the liberty of Galileo. Galileo followed under the Copernicus book writtin in 1543 named Revolutions of the Celestial Orbs. Basically stating that the sun was at the center of the unvierse and that the Earth revovled around the sun once a year. The Correct theory would be Galileos theory for the fact that we also use it till this day. Just with a few modifications.
The trail set forth a huge fight. Which ended the italian Renassiance and also Galileos Freedom. Made Galileo go on house arrest a while because the people felt betrayed. But Galileo kept most of his beliefs to his most closest friends like John Kepler. Who stuck with Galileo throughout this argument.
The geocentric theory came first stating that the Earth was at the center of the world. The heliocentric theory went agaisnt that and said that The Sun was is the center of the universe. And Newton was just the climax to the entire Scientific Revolution.
My opinion would be that Galileo and Newton should have been treated much more different because it made sense and Galileo proved everybody wrong. The scientific Method help new break throws till this day. IT was a change for the peoples way of thinking and it made people have much more knowledge of the world they live in.
