Sure he was. Don't you love revisionist history? Especially when they leave out the inconvenient parts (like showing Galileo the instruments of torture.)

Especially when they leave out the inconvenient parts (like showing Galileo the instruments of torture.)And when they ignore the indictment and the actual confession he was forced to make. Doesn't seem to mention ellipses. The Crime of Galileo: Indictment and Abjuration of 1633.

I especially love the revisionist history about Kepler, who was not Catholic but Lutheran (though he had trouble with them too). You'd think these kinds of facts would be easily researched; apparently not.
