I agree that geocentrism did not originate with the Church. I believe Aristotle was the first to write about it in detail, though it's likely the idea began much earlier. But the Church did declare, as part of dogma (not all of which comes from the Bible), that the world was created by God as defined by Aristotle, with crystal spheres, the dome of the sky and all those things which we now recognize as wrong. Granted, they were as close as anyone could come at the time given the tools they had to work with. But when Galileo, and others, began placing doubts upon the Aristotelian Ideal the Church actively resisted, arresting, imprisoning and even executing those who dared to blaspheme against dogma. It was only after the heliocentric model proved to be far more accurate than the geocentric model, and the rest of the world was already on board with the new idea, that the Church begrudgingly agreed and accepted the heliocentric model.

And you must be aware that the Church, while saving many documents and artifacts which supported its dogma, also destroyed many documents and artifacts which disagreed with it. It's quite possible, though impossible to prove, that the Church set back the advance of science several hundred years.
