Check out this brief inter\u00adview with Pro\u00adfes\u00adsor Lind\u00adberg<\/a> (his\u00adto\u00adry of sci\u00adence prof at Wis\u00adcon\u00adsin-Madi\u00adson<\/a>) Did Mar\u00adtin Luther Get Galileo in Trou\u00adble?<\/a><\/p>\n

How did the church respond to Galileo\u2019s the\u00ado\u00adry?<\/b>
\nThere was a com\u00admit\u00adtee estab\u00adlished called the Holy Office, which had the respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty to deter\u00admine the truth in mat\u00adters of faith. Charges were lev\u00adeled against Galileo, and so the helio\u00adcen\u00adtric ques\u00adtion came before them. <\/i><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know much about what went on in their con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions. But it\u2019s impor\u00adtant to look at the whole pic\u00adture. And one part of that pic\u00adture is that the sci\u00aden\u00adtif\u00adic com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty is over\u00adwhelm\u00ading\u00adly opposed to Galileo. That is, the evi\u00addence that Galileo has is not par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly pow\u00ader\u00adful. It\u2019s not over\u00adpow\u00ader\u00ading. He was looked on as a crack\u00adpot by lots of sci\u00aden\u00adtists.<\/p>\n

If we com\u00adbine this pic\u00adture with the author\u00adi\u00adty of the Catholic Church to inter\u00adpret the Bible\u2014and their new atten\u00adtion to lit\u00ader\u00adal interpretation\u2014it\u2019s just clear what the answer is going to be. They\u2019re not going to vio\u00adlate their own hermeneu\u00adtic exeget\u00adi\u00adcal stan\u00addards in order to adopt this crack\u00adpot minor\u00adi\u00adty opin\u00adion of the sci\u00aden\u00adtif\u00adic com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty.<\/p>\n

So then he goes before a papal court. It was\u00adn\u2019t his sci\u00adence that was on tri\u00adal, though. What was he tried for? <\/b>
\nObe\u00addi\u00adence was the only issue in the tri\u00adal. And he was guilty. Every\u00adbody could tell he was guilty because Galileo does\u00adn\u2019t just dis\u00adcuss the pros and cons of the the\u00ado\u00adry, he just advo\u00adcates all the way. It was a blun\u00adder on Galileo\u2019s part. <\/p>\n

Galileo then recants. Why?<\/b>
\nHe had two choic\u00ades. There was the threat of impris\u00adon\u00adment or he could recant. Every\u00adbody knew it was a for\u00admal\u00adi\u00adty, so he did\u00adn\u2019t cost his cause any\u00adthing to recant.<\/p>\n

How did the the\u00ado\u00adry of the sun as the cen\u00adter of the uni\u00adverse final\u00adly get accept\u00aded by the church?<\/b>
\nOnce New\u00adton\u2019s the\u00ado\u00adry of grav\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtion came along, you had over\u00adwhelm\u00ading argu\u00adments in favor of helio\u00adcen\u00adtrism. The church says, \u201cOkay, now we\u2019ve got proof, so now we will rein\u00adter\u00adpret the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the end of the 17th cen\u00adtu\u00adry, the church was on board, though Coper\u00adni\u00adcus\u2019s book stayed on the index of pro\u00adhib\u00adit\u00aded books until 1835. This geo\u00adcen\u00adtric mod\u00adel remained an alba\u00adtross around the Catholic Church\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n
