Copernicus' Ideas to help the scientific revolution

While most people in Europe between the mid sixteenth century and the eighteenth centurywere trying to convert others to christianity, others decided to go against the christian belief and see if they could solve some of the earths biggest mysteries. Copernicus was one of the greatest scientist to live, he figured out that the theory of of everything revolving around the earth was false. He discovered that everything revolved and orbited the Sun. Copernicus thought this theory was incorrect and was determined to find calculations to prove he was right. Although his theory was completely different from the religious stand point and the bible he was not afraid to prove the church wrong, even if it caused disrupt. In the end Copernicus was correct about the planets rotating around the sun and about the earth spun on an x axis. This was just one of the many ideas which helped the scientific revolution grow and eventually lead to the modern era.
