Why was HELIOCENTRISM so radical from a religious perspective?

History
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]4 years ago
7 0
Heliocentrism was the initial breakthrough in the Scientific Revolution which came from Polish mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. His essential argument was that “at the middle of all things lies the sun” and that the earth, like the other planets, revolves around it. Thus, the reason why this theory was so radical from religious perspective was the fact that earth was no longer unique or at the obvious center of God’s attention. This challenged the previous understanding of the Catholic Church that the attention of the entire universe was centered on the earth and its human inhabitants, among whom God’s plan for salvation unfolded.

P.S. I hope this helped as I just read about this in ‘Ways of the World’ by Robert W. Strayer for AP World History :)

As part of the war on terror, what action did the United States take in Afghanistan?
marusya05 [52]

As part of the War on Terror, the United States drove the Taliban out of power.

The War on Terror was a military campaign initiated by the United States after the September 11th attacks. Although the aim of the U.S. was to capture all of al-Qaeda members, most of them got to escape. The action of the United States was negatively encouraged by the Taliban government, which did not accept to extradite Osama bin Laden nor contributed to shut down the terrorist bases. As a result, the United States, that counted on the United Kingdom and other allies, drove the Taliban out of power and built military bases in the country.
