Many believe that the primary source of contention between the Roman Catholic Church and Galileo was because of Galileo’s scientific views primarily on the subject of heliocentrism. The theory of heliocentrism declared that the earth rotated around the sun‚ a concept that opposed the age-long beliefs that the sun revolved around the earth and‚ i.e.‚ geocentrism (Drake). Geocentrism further declared that the earth was the center of the universe and all other heavenly bodies revolved around the globe

The Brilliant Crimes of Galileo Galileo Galilei‚ was a man truly fit to be called the father of modern science‚ a man who became a symbol for the war between the Catholic Church and Science. As history shows us that the Catholic Church doctrines was against Galileo’s scientific discoveries in astronomy. It was one of the most important battles between religion and science‚ where faith and reason clashed. The Catholic Church regretted for the crime that had been committed against Galileo after

mathematician‚ and natural philosopher who made paramount contributions to science as we know it today. At a time of a growing polarization of thought on the motions of heavenly bodies‚ Galileo took a stance in support of the Copernican theory of heliocentrism— with the sun being placed at the center of the solar system rather than the biblical teachings at the time of a geocentric‚ Earth-centered model.

Chris McCandless in Into The Wild is quite the adventurer‚ he travels all across the pacific region only to find himself a death of starvation. He felt no remorse for leaving his parents family and friends all for a life of adventure. Similar to chris in his rebel spirit was the early astronomer Galileo Galilei. He proposed theories in his era of science that seemed impossible and absurd to his peers(Marks 2). That took courage and guts to stand up against the odds and do what you love. These two

today’s reality. The heliocentric theory proposed in 1543 revolutionized the scientific world throughout Europe socially by sparking a scientific revolution and religiously by causing a major conflict between theologians and astronomers. The Idea of heliocentrism was the catalyst that sparked a revolution when it came out in 1543‚ thus causing many astronomers to join Copernicus’s cause which made the revolution into a major debate during the time of 1543. The heliocentric theory put forth 1543‚ by Nicolaus

classics would be the bases for understanding the world and the scientists of the Scientific Revolution continued with that mindset. Without studying the classical works of Aristotle and Ptolemy‚ Copernicus would have never come to the conclusion of heliocentrism that dominates what we know about the universe today. Another scientist to disagree with the geocentric system was Galileo Galilei. Galileo was the first European to study the heavens with the use of a telescope. His observations allowed him to
