Originally the Earth was thought to be at the centre of the solar system. Religious teaching put the Earth at the centre and was opposed by Galileo, but he could not produce any proof and eventually recanted. It was not until Kepler's theory of planetary motion in the 16th century and Newton's law of gravity in the 17th were accepted that it was discovered that a better model would be achieved by assuming the Sun is at the centre.

Yes and no. It depends when you mean. The idea of a round Earth was accepted before the idea of the Sun being in the middle of the solar system. It was only about 400 years ago that people began to believe in the "heliocentric" (Sun centered ) solar system.

The solar system and its planets was fromed from a very large supernova, or massive explosion. (Scientific explanation) God created the entire universe and everything in it. (Biblical explanation)
