What's that got to do with Galileo?

i liked this video.Pretty cool.Didnt the catholic church allow to Galileo publish his work first?Its good nonetheless

[RustyTube]

Yes, many they respected him, but some turned against Galileo. Particularly Cardinal Bellarmine did. Others were actually quite friendly to him.

My point was not about the Church per se, but about Cardinal Bellarmine who was the Chief Inquisitor at the time and was also declared Saint and a Doctor of the Church in the 20th Century. Doctor of the Church is a great honor bestowed only on a very few number of people throughout history.

It's too bad Galileo was suppressed by his religion.

in fact, galileo was forced 2 choose not 2 die like copernico did, burned. outside the judgment he said that denied that the earth was the very center of the universe, as church forced him 2 say. surely the sun is not the center or the universe, as he proposed, but his ideas were advanced for his time.

Galileo remained a devout Christian until his death. Most serious historians do not support the myth that has grown through the centuries about this affair. It was actually non theologians that started the campaign against him. The Pope initially encouraged Galileo to continue his work. These non theologians sought out help from a hostile Cardinal to influence the inquisitors. It wasn't his science but a promise not get involved in church politics which resulted in house arrest.

erm belamine off all peolpe was on galileos side till the end actually, and galileo had many enemies due to his nature.

he was never threatened with death penalty and especially death by punishment

i dunno if belamine ever looked at the telescope but he knew what galileo saw and he believed in those results because jesuits confirmed them, but i failed to see how moons spinning around the jupiter proved that the earth revolved around the sun?

[bluehearts310]

that is so true, Galileo was a genius and he knew how to be humble.

1 only???

[empt420]

i think personally that he made the choice he did because he was gonna be killed if he did not this video has nothing to do with balance its about looking at facts and totally deny them you jacob are wrong sorry kid

[empt420]

the threat of being burned alive because he just wanted the truth you gotta love religion the one true root of all evil

Science and Religion are two completely different things. Belief doesn't equal knowledge.
