Answer 1

the rejection of the idea that the Earth is the center of the universe

Answer 2

Option E. Descartes's belief that sensory experience is the key to all knowledge put him in direct conflict with the Church.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rene Descartes was a French philosopher, mathematician and scientist who spent the majority of his life living in the Dutch Republic and who is known as one of the founders of modern philosophy.

Although a Catholic, Descartes's belief that sensory experience is the key to all knowledge and that every human should be a skeptic in order to be rational, put him in a direct conflict with the Catholic Church that prohibited all of his books by 1663. From there on, the philosopher avoided to publish any theological arguments.
