Galileo vs. Church
Galileo is viewed as the father of modern science because he made and tested theories which we subdued go by in the current years. In the present solar day we are judgment and live by the Copernican theory. This basically mover that the sun in in the center and the planets are in its orbit. The papistical Catholic Church believed that the earth was in the center, therefore the sun and another(prenominal) planets were in the Earths orbit. Galileo was charged of false teaching. The charge against Galileo was grounded on a report that Galileo had been personally ordered in 1616 not to talk about Copernicanism either orally or in writing.Cardinal Bellarmine had died, but Galileo produced a certificate signed by the cardinal, stating that Galileo had been subjected to no further restriction than employ to any romish Catholic under the 1616 edict. No signed entry contradicting this was ever found, but Galileo was compelled in 1633 to avoid and was sentenced to life imprisonment The colloquy was ordered to be burned, and the sentence against him was to be read publicly in every university.At the time, the church was the legal authority of the land and anything that went against the churchs doctrine of what the password said, was considered heresy and punishable by excommunication, imprisonment, or death. In this case Galileo break the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching the heliocentric theory. According to the church these theorys by Galileo was trying to audition the bible false. The stronger side is Galileos side. In my opinion I would pickaxe Galileos argument over the church because he tried to beg off to the church his findings.The church being filled with pride and single-minded did not give Galileo a chance to explain and reveal his findings because they automatically thought he was going against the bible and trying to prove it wrong. They then prosecuted him. In conclusion, Galileo is known as the father of modern science, his t heory which was overlooked in the past is now accepted and thought in the present day. This shows that the Roman Catholic Church was biased in the past and did not unavoidableness to give him a chance to reveal and explain his findings.
