This is way off topic and your history is seriously deficient. Visit apologetics.org where you will find links to historians, physicists, theologians, archeologists, etc. who will assist you in connecting fact to history. As for Copernicus, he was attacked by a tiny group of academic bureaucrats (with a whole lot in common with the folks who run most of the government universities in America today) who abused their erstwhile religious association as cover and leverage. To extrapolate out the misbehavior of such a group to modern Biblical Christians is logically and rationally absurd and sure would not pass any test of critical thinking (I teach critical thinking at the college level). doc Jerry Feldman wrote:

One thing that's apparently in very short supply, is critical thinking.

And this is just the sort of thing that has squared scientists off against religionists. let's go back a few thousands of years. A guy decided that pantheistic idol worship made no sense but he also felt that there was some divine hand behind the world, and at that moment, Abraham became the father of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Copernicus measured the orbits of the planets and proved the planets revolve around the sun. Many who believed that went to jail for their critical thinking.
