Galileo’s arguments by saying that it was wise of them to speak in terms of assumptions and not absolute since saying the earth moves and the sun stands still “contains nothing dangerous”. However‚ asserting that the sun is really located in the center of the world and only revolves on its axis is a dangerous thing to do as it is damaging to the Holy Faith by making the Scriptures false (Blackwell‚ 265).

We often assume that philosophy should provide truths obvious to all‚ instead of insights that border upon absurdity to most. But in his college days‚ Descartes “discovered that nothing can be imagined which is too strange or incredible to have been said by some philosopher” (195). Descartes advances his argument by showing
