How did Christianity fit in with the geocentric theory?

Christianity historically aligned with the geocentric theory, which posited that Earth was the center of the universe, as it supported biblical interpretations that suggested a divine order with humanity at the center of creation. Influential thinkers like Ptolemy framed this view, and it was widely accepted until the Renaissance. The church endorsed geocentrism, as it reinforced theological views of humanity's special status. However, the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus and later supported by Galileo challenged this alignment, leading to significant conflict between science and church doctrine.
