To see how the Scientific Revolution forced the world broaden its views as well as force people to look beyond the accepted social and institutional views, we can look at two figures who played major roles in it as well as how their roles affected the commonly accepted view of the world. These who people where Nicolas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei who challenged the Ptolemaic system and Catholic beliefs because of the flaws they found in it. .
Copernicus intensely studied the Ptolemaic system and through his literary studies realized that there was too many flaws in this commonly accepted system and looked beyond it to find a way to explain the phenomenons of the universe in a more accurate way. By looking at the universe in a heliocentric manner he began to break away from binds of Ptolemy's thinking. Like the artists of the Renaissance who gave a rebirth to classical art, Copernicus looked to the ancient world and their worship of the sun to develop his hypothesis of a sun-based universe. However, in departing from the Ptolemaic system, and an earth-center universe, he questioned the current scientific institution, which was not very open to anything that was not currently the status quo. This was not however the only institution that would be displeased with a change in thinking.
The Catholic Church, which is based only on creationism, firmly believes that since God created Earth for man, the Earth is without question the center of the Universe. This is evidence in both the fact that Copernicus did not publish his "ballet of the planets," which gave his views of the planetary structure, as well as in Coming Of Age in The Milky Way where we can see just how much influence the Catholic Church had:.
"The threat of papal disapproval was real enough that the Lutheran theologian Andreas Osiandar thought it prudent to oil the waters by writing an unsigned preface to Copernicus's book, as if composed by the dying Copernicus himself, reassuring it's reader that divine revelation was the sole source of truth and that astronomical treatises like this one were intended merely to "save the phenomena""(Ferris 67).
