Why scientific revolution is important to learn?

Before, most people believed in a faith base system. God created this and that. However, deism came about and said that we could find our answers through what God created. Eventually, everything leads to one thing after another, and now we have scientific advances that (for example) declare that we orbit the son rather than everything orbiting us which was a faith based principle because if we weren't the center of the universe, then we weren't the center of Gods creation as many interpreted the bible. Before gravity and every other discovery, people thought that the Earth didn't rotate on an axis, choosing to believe that if it did, everything would simply "fling off the Earth." 
Science explains matter, mass, black holes, time, space...
