Ohmigosh, I think it's B now. o.o

Oh whoops. I meant to say B lol
Yeah Becca, it is. Now that I think of it. They were actually [accidentally] disproving that the religious beliefs were true. This is what happened with Nicholas Copernicus. He began to doubt the way that the ancient Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy had "arranged" the universe. Finally, Copernicus came up with his own view of the universe. His theory would be the first of the new scientific thinking and the start of the Scientific Revolution. Copernicus determined that it was actually the sun that was at the center of the universe and that everything else moved around it. Copernicus published his new heliocentric view of the universe in 1543, in a book called On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies. But Copernicus knew that his theory would not be popular with the Church. According to the Church, God would have made earth (and mankind) the center of the universe, which fit well with Ptolemy's theory. Wow, I am a smarty pants. :3
But it could be C...but I think it'll be better for B..
