These were assumptions that existed pre-science when they were not rationally deducted from any work using scientific methods. Galileo Galilei, the most famous scientist from the scientific revolution, is known for challenging this misconception and he famously got into trouble with the church for it and was forced to renounce his research.
The geocentric hypothesis had proponents arguing for it in science, as is healthy for any scientific debate, but didn't come from science and was eventually disproven. So, as an example of 500 year old science, I don't think it's a good one.
