Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

The heliocentric system was Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the Solar System. Such a model is called a heliocentric system. The ordering of the planets known to Copernicus in this new system is in the following figure, which we recognize as the modern ordering of those planets.In this new ordering the Earth is just another planet (the third outward from the Sun), and the Moon is in orbit around the Earth, not the Sun. The stars are distant objects that do not revolve around the Sun. Instead, the Earth is assumed to rotate once in 24 hours, causing the stars to appear to revolve around the Earth in the oppsite direction.
The Geocentric system
Geocentric means that the earth is in the center.In the geocentric system, the earth is statically located at the center and the rest of the planets revolve around it, including the sun, which was also considered a planet.The planet nearest to earth is the moon, which completes a single revolution about the earth in one month. Further out are the rest of the planets: Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Evolution vs. Creation

The Evolution vs Creation- Evolutionists find the evidence they've sought since the beginning of the modern Evolutionary movement about 150 years ago, there is actually no debate at all. Creation is the default. Evolutionists insist that complexity developed from simplicity despite the contradiction to known physical laws. Moreover, Evolutionists maintain that this simplicity just sprang into existence without any cause at all. The Evolution vs. Creation debate further seeks to solve the riddle of complexity. Creationists believe the universe was designed to be complex by an Intelligent Designer. Evolutionists, in their effort to exclude a designer, contend that complexity has developed from simplicity over time. Evolutionists view time as their solution. However, hard science tells us that time is the enemy of complexity.
