Nicolas Copernicus
He was a Polish mathematician who disagreed with Ptolemy's view that the earth is the center of the universe. The heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.
The Geocentric or Ptolemaic Model put the earth at the center of the Universe. The Heliocentric Model postulated by Copernicus and, before him, Aristarchus, places the Sun at the center of the Solar System. Galileo's observations proved the validity of the Heliocentric Model.
Copernicus
He believed in a heliocentric universe, or a universe where all of the planets revolve around the sun.
Aristarchus of Samos was the first person (that we know of!) that proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, as early as about 200B.C). His model was rejected mainly because of Aristotle's influence.Copernicus was the next person to propose a heliocentric model of the universe which was published in 1547. although very controversial at that time, this model was the one that caught on.

Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus showed that our universe is heliocentric.
Yes, Voltaire supported the heliocentric view of the universe proposed by Copernicus. He wrote about it in his work "Elements of Newton's Philosophy" where he praised the advancements made by Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton in understanding the cosmos.
For me, it depends on what you mean by the heliocentric view. If it is that the Sun is at the centre and the planets revolve around it, then, no, the Creationist view and the Heliocentric view are not in conflict. It's only when you start looking into theories of how the Sun/planets and in fact the universe started that you can get conflict..
I suspect the answer you're looking for is Galileo Galilei. It just has two problems: Galileo didn't "invent the telescope", nor did he "develop a heliocentric view of the universe." The telescope was invented in the Netherlands; Galileo simply improved on it and was probably the first to apply it to astronomical observations instead of just looking for distant ships. Also, Copernicus is (properly) credited with the heliocentric view; Galileo's observations supported this, but he didn't come up with it.
