Scientific American recently published an article called The Case against Copernicus.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-case-against-copernicus/ <<Copernicus famously said that Earth revolves around the sun. But opposition to this revolutionary idea didn't come just from the religious authorities. Evidence favored a different cosmology>> If you don't have subscription access this blog provides a decent summary of the article but it also covers more philosophical ground too. http://badatheist.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/religion-vs-science-part-2-copernicus-and-galileo/ Harry
