The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was false and contrary to scripture, placing works advocating the Copernican system on the index of banned books and forbidding Galileo from advocating heliocentrism.[7][8] Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated him and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point.[7] He was tried by the Holy Office, then found "vehemently suspect of heresy", was forced to recant, and spent the rest of his life under house arrest.[9][10] It was while Galileo was under house arrest that he wrote one of his finest works, Two New Sciences, in which he summarised the work he had done some forty years earlier, on the two sciences now called kinematics and strength of materials.[11][12]
There is no “scientific theory of intelligent design”. ID is no more scientific than astrology, numerology, or phrenology, and like those, does not belong in a science curriculum. Go ahead and tech it as a example in a comparative religion or sociology class, but it ain’t science. Do the folks at the Discovery Institute also claim that holocaust deniers or people that say the moon landings were faked are the victims of censorship as well?
