Coincidence? No, these beliefs were essential to Galileo's thought. If you insist on characterizing God's actions as supernatural causes, then understand my point that Galileo took for granted that God was the FIRST Cause and that HE had provided Galileo with the sand box he was allowed to play in.

"Coincidence?"

Yes.

"No, these beliefs were essential to Galileo's thought."

I asked for specifics from his theories where he either invoked supernatural causes or Divine Revelation as evidence. I take it you couldn't.

"If you insist on characterizing God's actions as supernatural causes, then understand my point that Galileo took for granted that God was the FIRST Cause and that HE had provided Galileo with the sand box he was allowed to play in."

Galileo believed that God created the world and the laws governing that world. He did not use supernatural causes as explanations in any of his theories though, and you have not been able to show that he has.
