Copernicus and the Trial of Galileo

The geocentric was found from the early Greeks observed the sky and all that it contained. From their observations, the Greeks believed the Earth was the center of the moon, Sun, and the only known planets at that time, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. And the Greeks believe in that those planets were moving around the Earth in a clockwise direction. They said that the Earth is not the one that is moving, because no one felt the Earth is moving. Around 140 A.D. Claudius Ptolemy wrote thirteen volumes on the motion of the planets, and put the geocentric theory in its finest form. The Roman Catholic believe in the Ptolemaic theory, because they suggested the sun was motioned while the Earth were remainedin one place. And they have to believe it, cause the Church ws in the control during this period, and anyone that don't believe in it would be punished, or house arrest.
heliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is stationary and at the center of the solor system. But then in the lod back in time, everybody thinks that this is wrong. But what can they do, even thought that the peoples believes in it, thry can't tell anyone cause otherwise the will get arest. So thet they could only disagree with it.
And so this is how it gose.

Scientific Revolition: The Scientific Method

The scientific revolution was a new way of thinking that the challenged these outdated ideas.
Long ago, the idea of science is from ancient Greeks and Romans, or from Bible.
The scientific revolution can be seen as a reaction against a medieval Aristotelian model of scientific explanation which stressed the internal essential nature of physical objects and the final cause connected with this internal nature. Medieval mode is an action that is explained by the object's internal nature which moved it to its final goal or telos. This mode was seen to be circular or empty because the only explanation that could be given of an object's essential form or internal nature was in terms of the object's actions.
This canused Galileo to reject the ideas of a secret internal nature as the cause of a things actions. Since it was impossible to perceive and served no explanatory function the idea of an internal nature was rejected. Instead it was seen that only some of the external properties of the object really objectively characterize the object and that these can be used to explain the other external properties.
A method of hypothesis and experiment under simplified and idealized conditions was devised to isolate out the primry properties and discover the laws that connected them to secondary properties. A model of how the world is was tested by deriving perdictions about observation from it.
And so this is how the scientific method goes like.

Evolution vs. Creation

Evolution and Creation is different saying from different peoples, and the different peoples believe in the different things, some people believe in evolution, but some peoples believe in creation, and this is what for peoples to think.
Evolution it is found from somebody called Charles Darwin, but he wasn't the first one that found evolution. There was somebody did it before him, but that doesn't work out very well. So after that Charles Darwin went to a island. On the island, Darwin saw those bird's finch its way different from the other one from the other island, and from the other birds. So this is the reason why that makes darwin came up with natural selection. So then he was wrote a book, about that the humans were evolued from the animals. And it took millions of years to do that.
Creation was saying that the first man were made by god. And it only took him 7 days to do that. And this is why lot of place were close on Sunday.
Between evolution and creation, I would choose to believe evolution, because I think that Darwin he had found out that the animal had evolued. And I think this is more seciencefic, I think this could proue it. So I think this is the reason why that I believe in evolution.
