"lucidity is a great gift when confronted with lies..."

What were Galileo's scientific and biblical conflicts with the Church?

actually, the conflict arose because the catholic church asked galileo to keep quiet about his discoveries, until the church could verify them with those who were scientists within the church..

galileo refused to do so, and therefore, the church took action against him. which by the way, was basically house arrest in, for the time, an apartment with all the amenities of the time.

this is what you never hear about from the ‘media’ or ‘science news’ which always tries to paint the church as being anti science....

it makes for good fodder for anti christians...but as i noted before, lucidity helps one see through the lies.
