Galileo was a thug! ('Bad Faith' #7)
What's in the series? Previous: What did Galileo discover? Next: Why did Galileo get in trouble?
Everyone knows how the church persecuted Galileo because he said that the Earth goes round the Sun. But what everyone 'knows' is wrong! Galileo was a thug who had a huge ability to annoy and alienate people. His 'persecution' had as much to do with personality conflicts as with anything else.
With contributions by Professor Ted Davis (Messiah College) and by Dr Allan Chapman, (Oxford University), author of 'Slaying the Dragons: destroying myths in the history of science and faith' and 'Stargazers: Copernicus, Galileo, the Telescope and the Church.'
