During that period, it was the norm for religious teachers to tell the people what to believe. These teachers believed that the earth was the center of the universe and therefore, everything in the universe revolved around the earth. However, Galileo and Corpernicus proved them wrong when they discovered that it was the sun which was the center of the universe. This meant that the teachings of the religious orders were being questioned and this could very easily give rise to a lack of faith and trust in these teachers by the public. Therefore, they would not accept the astronomers discoveries because they saw the two as heretics and trouble makers.

Some people believe that all religious teachings are false. Among those who hold religious beliefs, though, the answer varies based on the religion.
