Separation of Religion and Science

Separation of Religion and Science For instance, Galileo presented the theory that the earth revolved around the sun. While this theory was ostensibly related to celestial bodies, it contradicted a conventional Christian belief. According to this ancient Christian idea, since the Prophet Jesus was the son of God, it was not conceivable that the planet on which he was born should revolve around any other object. To maintain the earth’s singular position as the sacred birthplace of Jesus Christ, it was assumed that all other planets of the solar system and the sun should naturally revolve around the earth.
