Galileo supported Copernican Astronomy, the heliocentric theory, that the earth moves around the sun. There was the inquisition in 1633, he had to stand trail, his writings banned, and he was eventually placed under house arrest. Well, the earth does indeed move around the sun, and long after man landed on the moon, in 1992, Pope John Paul vindicated Galileo.
Thank God we have scientists and archeologists, many of whom are probably believers in our scriptures and mythology who can stand up and say.... This is the truth.... well if it takes less than 361 years for your stand to be vindicated you can, whereever you are then, take pride in the fact that you bettered Galileo's record.
