The Heliocentric model replaced the geocentric model.
Scientific discoveries transform our concept of space, time, and causality and undermine the foundations of traditional metaphysics. It mirrors the Genesis model of greater acquisition of material knowledge coming at the cost of spiritual insight. Adam and Eve's consumed the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, and their eyes were opened. They covered themselves, and God exiled them from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which man was taken.
The Copernican Revolution follows this same model - Man began in the Garden of Eden in a state of innocence, in a central and natural plan that illustrates man's role and spiritual purpose, and a safe and walled-off shelter. Looking beyond the limits of the garden opened their eyes to a strange universe devoid of spiritual meaning. They knew they were naked, that their previous worldview was illusory, and they then wandered in a meaningless universe.
The scientific revolution reputed the tradition, spiritual model of the world, but it proved its necessity at a higher level.
