I found a pretty broad article concerning the debate I've mentioned previously over Heliocentrism in the early years of Physics (although relatively recent for Christianity). Actually the intro to the article grabbed my attention the most because it explained the reason for the close growth of these Mathematical sciences and Christianity had a lot to do with the analytic analyses tradition applied to the bible. It also name drops both Galileo and Copernicus and how they felt their work, despite being seen as nearly heresy at the time, was instead a work of faith for them. One guy (who i will most likely write on in depth), one Johannes Kepler, even has a pretty good quote about "Geometry" (read: math) being the mind of god.
