Hmmm. That's a pretty bold statement.
Given that the Church used force to quiet Galileo, it's also a very hard one to support.
Galileo was saying the scientists for the previous 1500 years and the Biblical interpretation of Catholics and Protestants alike were wrong, yet offered insufficient evidence to prove it. He persisted in teaching as fact that which he could not prove, without doubt, was fact. It is for that reason that he got in trouble.
