What percent of people believe that the earth is the center of the universe?
About 99% of the population believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe. One major reason was because it had been the main belief since the time of Aristotle. Some people heard about Heliocentrism, but refused to accept it because they just didn't care. It didn't affect them in anyway if the earth was at the center or not. This society was very agrarian, so as long as the fields were good it didn't matter. The Scientific Revolution was a movement of the elite, a small percentage of the population which shared ideas in books that were meant to be read by intelligent people, not the laity.
