Copernicus

 19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance astronomer and the first person to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe.^[2] 

Copernicus was also considered to be a heretic by the Catholic Church by those who listened only to God and professed to be inspired only by God. 

What if they both were correct? What if Earth was the center of the universe because it was the place where God resided and it was interpretative to mean that everything physical was orbiting the Earth. 

And so it goes...
