So much is made of Copernicus and Galileo wresting science away from religious authorities who had declared it a heresy to claim that the earth was not the center of the universe. Using the telescope he invented and his and his predecessor’s mathematical calculations, Galileo was able to show that the earth was just one of several orbiting satellites of the sun.
We have come to a place now where it is accepted scientific cosmology that the universe is constantly expanding and has no center and no edge. Therefore, saying that the earth is not the center of the universe is really saying nothing.
Christendom need only alter it’s terms slightly to say something irrefutable and profound:
Life is the Center of God’s Universe.
