Why Did The Roman Catholic Church Prosecute Galileo? | Face The World | Absolute History 

Its at 7:10 Galileo's assertion the earth and planets revolved around the sun got him in hot water with the church. It went against the Catholic Church's teaching that the earth was the center of the universe. He ended up having to completely recant it else face torture and death. He ended up under house arrest for the rest of his life. As the video notes at 7:35 the church did not acknowledge Galileo was right until 1992.

WOW this was today

It's because it never happened

@@jefflewis4 wrong. Copernicus, a Catholic priest, originated this theory long before Galileo

@Bethlehem Eisenhour yes we do. That is a lie you are told.

Agreed. Modern academia, and those with a "experts rule" agenda, wish to divorce religion and science by misrepresenting history.

Indeed, they need to read more source documents from the time. The Church held to the accepted science of the day, which would have been the Aristotelian/Ptolemaic view. Even the Pope of the time was interested in learning from Galileo, but the main issue was the Church forbade Galileo from teaching the heliocentric view as true, not from teaching it. In simple terms, he wasn't able to prove it was true. It's not correct history to frame it as "science" vs. the bible (or interpretations of it). I remember watching a movie in a science class back in the early 70s about Galileo which stuck to the script of the lie. There was one scene where the movie portrays Galileo pleading with church bishops to just look through his telescope but they refused. What exactly are you going to point your telescope at that will instantly reveal the heliocentric view is correct rather than a geocentric view?

Uhm, nope, just nope; A circle is not a globe. Also, what does "a circle on the face of the waters" even mean? Well, i guess it can mean anything you want it to mean, but even then, a circle is not a globe. Also, the ancient greek of the oldest texts about this don't use the word for circle, they use the word for disc. And there is no way to even begin to interpret "disc" as "globe" without some truly impressive mental gymnastics. Apart from that it doesn't describe any of the other things you say either, like eg DNA. There is nothing in the bible that would make anyone think of the concept of DNA, however after already knowing about DNA, some of the wordsalad in the bible could be interpreted as being about DNA, however it might just as well be about the maiting behaviour of the bullet ant. There is no way to know without actualy asking the ppl who wrote it. As long as the scriblings in the bible don't lead directly to new discoveries, they are nothing but wordsalad retro-actively being reinterpreted to fit new discoveries.

I guess with some creativity, looking down directly from way up, a globe could be described as a circle...maybe. But a circle is almost never is never a globe.

Pff! As if the Catholic Church (or any other church) has any proof!

@@catielv. Watch Catholic Truth's video on Galileo.

This is exactly what I thought after seeing the video. I wonder how these "facts" are repeated once and again, given the amount of literature, podcasts etc. in several languages about almost any topic.

this is most likely because Columbus was the first to introduce it to other counties

What are you talking about? Humanity has known we're on a sphere for at least 900 years more than you think.

900? I think you mean 2000. The ancient Greaks were well aware that the world is a sphere

it was to remember Good Friday. now it's only during Lent

To give fish and chips on a Friday a chance.

They persecuted a whooole lot more too, from community to community, from continent to continent. ⏳ _¢h®¡$✝️¡@n ✝️3®®0®¡$m_ ⏳

Why so?

@@N_0968 Cute response!! 👍🏻

It came from protestatism. Copernicus first put forth the theory and he was a Catholic priest. There was no problem because it was a theory that could not be proven or disproven. Galileo stated unequivocally, even though he couldn't prove it, that it was true. He then published a book mocking the pope that supported his research, as backwards & archaic. The pope supported his research. It was a theory because there was no way yet to prove it. Galileo wanted people to listen and believe without evidence. History doesn't repeat but it rhymes

The church has always been corrupt. Deal with it.
