You read a lot of long winded wordy books (Catholic propaganda) that ignore the facts. You try to prove Galileo was wrong (even though he was right) and the church was right (even though they were wrong). I don’t care if Galileo could fully understand and precisely explain the planetary motions. He was still right. Now go read up and see if the sky is blue or it just looks that way because of the color.

Owen Gingerich was a memonite missionary and son of preacher before he was an astronomy professor at Harvard. Koestler was an anti-communist Hungarian atheist. Some Catholic propagandists. Dava Sobel is a New York secular Jew, who takes more or less the same view of the Church-Galileo contraversy. Anyone with any more historical perspective than is generally available in public schools knows these things.
