The problem was that the Ptolemyic concept of a Geo- Centric universe 
worked for some basic navigational functions, was universally excepted  
and became part of  religious doctrine.  Anyone who promoted "truth" of 
a HelioCentric Universe whether it was  Galileo, Copernicus and even 
later Kepler were condemmed by the chruch.  It was the decision of 
theologians or the state or the church state that called the shots on 
science.  What this did was suppressed advances for a while. Even today 
we have the impact in our economic survival due to the doxology of 
AlGore on "climate change" or man-made climate change.  Dr. Edward Gray 
from Bolder was essential drummed out of the very accurate Univ. of 
Colorado hurricane prediction service for even questioning the new 
theology of a political control over climate and people as having any 
significant merit, except for the empowerment of politicians who are 
engaged in dogma.  Why is it always the contrarian views always get in 
the way of new ideas and punish those who express them.
