1) the different between the geocentric and the heliocentric. is that the heliocentric is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Solar System. and the geocentric is is the theory that the Earth is the center of the universe and other objects go around it. the one that come first is the heliocentric because it's on the center of the solar system.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

Explain, in your own words, the Scientific Method. And give an example of an experiment that uses the Scientific Method.
the scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. for example Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, stated that males and females have different number of teeth, without bothering to check; he then provided long arguments as to why this is the way things ought to be.

For example, it’s not enough to say, “I’m going to see how the dog reacts in this situation.” Rather, in that experiment, the scientist might have a list of certain behaviors, and record how often each of the dogs tested exhibits each of those pre-defined behavior patterns.

Evolution vs. Creation.

Explain, in your own words, each of the two theories. Then; explain which one you believe in and why.

Evolution is technically defined as a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form. As it is most famously used, "evolution" is the process by which an organism becomes more sophisticated over time and in response to its environment.

Creation is a movement within creationism which attempts to use scientific means to disprove the accepted scientific theories on the history of the Earth, cosmology and biological evolution and prove the Genesis account of creation.

I believe in creation because geological formations that we see today were mainly produced over a very short time interval during the Noachian Flood. The Flood...brought about vast changes in the earth's surface, including vulcanism, mountain building, and the deposition of the major part of sedimentary strata.
