Until Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the Heliocentric Model which states that the sun is the center of solar system. Nicolaus Copernicus is known as the father of modern astronomy Made the Revolution manuscript called “ DE REVOLUTIONIBUS ORBIUM COELESTIUM’ ( on the revolution of heavenly spheres ).

The Darwinian revolution is generally taken to be one of the key events in the history of Western science Copernican astronomy lay in Copernicus’s attitude toward the reality of his theory.

Catholic priest, Copernicus wrote his text only after passing away and leaving it for publishing. As a scientist, Darwin just documented his findings and proposed a theory to account for the potential for lifeforms to proliferate and adopt a wide variety of shapes and behaviors.
