the notion that the earth was the centre of the solar system (and indeed the universe) was an assumption by ancient civilisations and all scientists seem to have agreed with this idea until Galileo Galilei noticed that this was not the case and published his idea but it was not instantly accepted because the bible was based on ancient ideas and as a result the roman catholic church attempted to stop the spread of this idea because it dissagreed with many of the verses in The Bible.
it was probaly this assumption that everything in the bible was true that made it take so long for anyone to think to question it.
it is worth noting that Galileo was a devout catholic and was not trying to challenge the church.
