It does not in fact state this. Catholicism believed this, and punished Galileo for stating otherwise, but The Bible itself does not support this.
1 Chronicles 16:30: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable."
Psalm 93:1: "Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ..."
Psalm 96:10: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ..."
Psalm 104:5: "Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken."
Isaiah 45:18: "...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast..."

Did scientific thought hold that the earth was the center of the universe and therefore religion ruled all?
No. Okay, here goes. In the early 1500's Copernicus solved the astrophysical problem of how the solar system moved. scientists couldn't explain this mathematically using the adopted idea the the earth was the center of the universe (geocentricity) because the planets moved across the sky in apparently random ways (which is actually the origin of the word "Planet"), so Copernicus based his model on the idea that the sun was the center of the universe (Heliocentricity) and it worked! The church however refuted his idea because the earth had to be the center of the universe because the bible said it was so. No, the Bible does not say so, only that God created the universe, and that you can ask him about the details thereof through prayer. Moreover, information received in prayer should confirm scientific inquiry.
