In the conflict of belief, the weapons are mere ideas, but hostility runs as high as on any battlefield. One of the fundamental principles of European Christianity in the Middle Ages was that the human race was the central organic creation of the universe and the Earth was the fixed centre of the universe. Everything else revolved round it. It was the Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) who dared to propose that the Sun was the centre of the universe, and that the Earth revolved round it. The church branded him a heretic. Read the account of Copernicus’s fight to be heard and how his ideas changed the world we live in forever in this Quik eBook.
