And that was not the scientist who said that, that was the Vatican. Issac Newton, Galileo Galilei, and Copernicus, all
hypothisized (the same way Darwin hypothisized the orign of species) that the galaxy was heliocentric, not geocentric, resulting in them being excommunicated, persecuted, and harrassed by the church. Back then it was still a theory. Back then, it still wasn't "proven" as fact, as result having the notion labeled as theory.
So it was the Church, like with evolution, not the scientist who said the earth was flat and the the sun revovlved around the earth.
