The First theory that was created was called geocentric. People believed that earth was the center of the earth. And everything was moving around it. People thought that the stars, sun, and planets would revolve around them. They would see this in the night, every day. This theory was common with Ancient Greece, but the theory was made from the Roman Catholic Church. People did not have any technology to know what was happening. They would just step out side in the night and see that everything was moving around them. This wasn't true facts, it was just people ideas, they had no clue.
The Second Theory was created was called Heliocentrism. This was the true theory and the theory created in the Scientific Revolution. The theroy is that the sun is in the the center and we relove arouund the sun. This theroy we even use now. Now we would move not the stars. So the stars would moslty stay in one place. Only unsvires moved. Scientits started this idea.
The trail of Galileo was imoprtant, it happend at the year 1633. Can you imagne how old this theory is and we still use it. Any who this trail was important because Galileo wanted to prove the theory of Heliocentrsim. Galileo got to trail for publshing a book of saying how the sun is in the center and the planets move. The Catholic Chruch belived in Geocentric and Galileo believe in Heliocentrism. So the Chruch wanted to see the truth. Galileo worked hard to make sure this theory is true. So Galileo theroy was true, as you can see.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method
Well the Scientific Method, was used by scientists all around the world. Before the Scientific Method people would mostly get their ideas from ancient Greeks and Romans. And the bible. Scientists would mostly experiment theories or ideas. They would see if theories and ideas in the old days were true or false. They would experimented over and over to prove or disprove and idea or theories. After, they were finished testing they would draw up a conclusion. One example of a experiment would be testing the speed of an object. They would see if different weights would falls down on different speeds or the same speed. Scientists would go to a high floor and open the window and throw objects. Like for example, dropping a baseball and bowling ball and the result would be that they would fall at the same speed.

Evolution vs Creation, Matthew Pastula PD 7
First I Will Start With Creation, Creation is a Religious Belief. Creation is mostly made of life, the earth, universes, animals, everything. And it was all made by God. If you every hear about Creation, you would mostly think about Adam and Eve. And it is complex to thing about it. Because there is so much detail and you have to think. Creation has the Bible-Old Testament and New Testament. And Also Genesis. 50% of people believe in Creation (Religion). But, now of the scientific theories there was a decreased in the belief of Creation. Like I Said the term Creation is mostly religion.
Now I will start with Evolution. When you think of Evolution you mostly think of man evolved from animals, FOR EXAMPLE, Apes, Fish.... You can say Primates or Common Ancestors. Scientists say that it was Mutations. There was a man called Charles Darwin, he worked on a boat, and draw pictures of what he saw. He noticed that some animals were the same but had different genes, for example a Finch Bird, there were Three Island, One Island had a Normal Beak, and on the second island it would have a shorter beak, and at the third island the finch bird would have a longer beak. Charles Darwin said that it was natural selection. Natural Selection means a natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment. This all happened at 1849 with Charles Darwin.
In my opinion, I believe in Creation because I am Catholic. But, sometimes in science class I think about Evolution, and it also can be true. It is very complex now I know why 50% belive in Creation and the other 50% beleives in Evlovtion.
