Well, it's not, at least in the literal sense.
Contrary to legend, both Galileo and the Copernican system were well regarded by church officials. Galileo was the victim of his own arrogance, the envy of his colleagues Look, your revisionist articles make up their own truth
The FACT is that Galileo made a 30X telescope, trained it on the Moon and saw craters. When he showed the carters to the Vatican officials they said it was an illusion created by the devil; they said the moon did not have any craters. It's the bible, not the science that pretends to be the "official truth."
The truth is, and some people can't handle it, that the myth of Genesis is irreconcilable with evidence of life forms predating humans, and evidence of human species, the same way that the craters were incompatible with the biblical notion of "heaven" being the sky above and all the objects there being "perfect spheres."

And where does it state anything about the moon having craters or not in the Bible?
The Vatican officals were dealing with defending a RCC position, not a Biblical one.

There is no real evidence for anything that contradicts the Genesis account of Creation.
It is all conjecture and hypothesis, taken on more faith than one takes the Genesis account. (professing themselves to be wise, they became fools)
