OA: Much like the belief that the world is flat, challenged by Galileo, there are currently widely-held hypotheses.
Here, COMMA + challenged is incorrectly preceded by the clause in red.
A COMMA + VERBed modifier must be preceded by a NOUN or NOUN PHRASE.
Also, the referent for an introductory like-modifier must be the first word of the main clause.
Here, much like refers to hypotheses, which is not the first word of the main clause.
