For example, when the astronomer Copernicus proposed a heliocentric view of the world, it was rejected because it did not conform to established religious doctrine.

The World rests on the heliocentric view, first explicated in Western Europe by Copernicus.

Using indirect evidence he argues that a heliocentric view was expounded in Hipparchus's work on gravity.

The first information about the heliocentric views of Nicolaus Copernicus were circulated in manuscript.

The thinking that the heliocentric view was also not true in a strict sense was achieved in steps.

Soon, however, his radical heliocentric view threatened the church's belief that the earth was the center of the universe.

The position of the curia evolved slowly over the centuries towards permitting the heliocentric view.

I suppose that is why Copernicus was so careful to list the classical authors who took the heliocentric view seriously.

This illusion caused ancients to falsely believe in a geocentric universe rather than the currently accepted heliocentric view.

Much later, Nicolaus Copernicus used the same idea when he proposed a heliocentric view.
