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.
