Astronomical discoveries have profoundly influenced religious views. The Copernican heliocentric model challenged geocentric biblical interpretations, diminishing humanity's perceived central role and sparking conflicts, as seen in Galileo's trial. The vast universe revealed by modern astronomy humbled anthropocentric doctrines. The Big Bang theory, proposed by a Catholic priest, aligned with creation ex nihilo for some believers, while conflicting with literal young-Earth creationism for others. Overall, these findings prompted reinterpretations, fostering harmony in some faiths and tension in others.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy_and_religion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copernican_Revolution https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/the-truth-about-galileo-and-his-conflict-with-the-catholic-church https://biologos.org/articles/astronomy-and-the-glory-of-god
