nobody is talking about the shape of the Earth

Oh fuck wrong scientist

Knowledge for the sale of knowledge is great

we known the Earth was a sphere since ancient Greece

We can learn how the world works around us

Galileo was the sun guy sorry

ye

Yeah don't care either way

It's not useful

Copernicus was first

It is useful

Galileo was indeed found guilty of heresy

and his books were banned

If we didn't know the earth was a sphere and orbited the sun

Galileo was guilty of heresy

There wouldn't be any satellites right now

Space is useless

no, he was guilty of research

Satellites are bad

Are you retarded

He wasn’t charged with saying the world goes around the sun

the church is guilty of suppressing knowledge

Have you ever used GPS

Or satellite radio

That doesn't make it good

It is good for improving the human condition

When has the church suppressed knowledge, maybe a monetary was like gtfo out retard and was wrong

This just solidified my belief that people who use Galileo as a talking point really have no idea what happened.

But I see no infallible decisions regarding it

The human condition was better before he Industrial Revolution

ok what do you think happened lmfao

Galileo was not in trouble for saying the earth goes around the sun, Copernicus did so before him and he was a personal friend of the Pope.

The Church suppressed knowledge from the fall of rome till the renaissance

Systematically

*"Whereas you, Galileo, son of the late Vaincenzo Galilei, Florentine, aged seventy years, were in the year 1615 denounced to this Holy Office for holding as true the false doctrine taught by some that the Sun is the center of the world and immovable and that the Earth moves, and also with a diurnal motion; for having disciples to whom you taught the same doctrine; for holding correspondence with certain mathematicians of Germany concerning the same; for having printed certain letters, entitled "On the Sunspots," wherein you developed the same doctrine as true; and for replying to the objections from the Holy Scriptures, which from time to time were urged against it, by glossing the said Scriptures according to your own meaning: and whereas there was thereupon produced the copy of a document in the form of a letter, purporting to be written by you to one formerly your disciple, and in this divers propositions are set forth, following the position of Copernicus, which are contrary to the true sense and authority of Holy Scripture:*"

lol

He was rather charged with another crime
