Galileo Observation

404 Words2 Pages

As the attorney of Galileo 's, inventer of telescope and the person who proved the copernican theory, I would like to negotiate with you to free my client from the death penalty. Our science hasn 't been updated for the past hundreds of years and people everywhere have been taught false information until Galileo came along. I ask you the pope, leader of our town and country if you still care about your people, to free my client so he can serve his true potential of being a scientist. He can show us new ways of learning and provide us with correct information about our world to teach our people. Galileo will change history itself, his discoveries will make a dent in astronomy 100 years from now. He has amazingly re-designed the …show more content…

All because of him, years from now there will probably be new developments of new technology and industries that hold this information about the world and its surroundings. I believe that my client should be released and the church 's beliefs that hold him in there are incorrect. Those who are accusing him, believe that his theories are false and a dishonor to the church. Therefore my belief is that the truth behind his theories benefit us and the generations that are ahead of us. He can open new doors in astronomy, science and release more discoveries to inform us about our unknown universe. In addition he can give us a better understanding about the planet we live in and the planets that surround us. Thank you for taking your time to read this, and i hope you take this into consideration. Galileo, husband, father and a scientist i strongly believe that his charge for the death penalty should be dropped so he can provide to his family and to advance the understanding of our world 's roll in the galaxy. Thank you

Unfortunately, despite Bryan’s reputation as a fundamentalist, he did not represent Christianity in a favorable image.

  • Rise Of Philosophy Dbq

    785 Words  | 4 Pages

    The rise of Philosophy led to the decline of the church’s influence on the people, which led to a decline of faith and the church labelling philosophers as heretics. The Catholic church was prepared to do anything to crush these heretics in order to preserve the Catholic faith. Also, the inquisition extremely active during this time period, for hundreds of thousands of heretics were killed and/or burned at the stake. Following the advancements in the sciences, Astronomers such as Copernicus discussed new ideas that went against the holy scripture, which were later adopted and improved by Galileo, therefore marking him as a target of the Inquisition. At first Astronomy was accepted by catholics, including the Pope himself, however, following the ideas of Copernicus Christians were quick to label these ideas as acts of heresy for going against the holy scripture.

    Galileo’s Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina argues that Nicholas Copernicus’ idea about the Earth’s rotation orbiting the sun once a year does not in fact have anything to do with the scripture in the Catholic Bible. Galileo is simply stating a theory that he believes is true and scientifically proven. His ideas came to life in a time when many were questioning their beliefs surrounding the church and ideas that they have had in the past. Galileo was very science- oriented and many of his ideas and teachings did not align, and in some cases directly conflicted, with what the Catholic Church preached.

    Autumn Stern Galileo Trial Summary + Copernicus Write Up In the early 17th century, there was no doubt that the Catholic church held extreme power throughout Europe. They also held to the geocentric theory (all planets, heavenly bodies and the sun revolving around the earth) put forth by Ptolemy and Aristotle because of how neatly it could fit into the current teachings. Unlike this theory, however, Galileo enforced Copernicus’ heliocentric theory with inductive reasoning rather than deductive. Galileo made observations about the moons of Jupiter and their orbit around Jupiter, which he likened to a smaller version of their solar system.

  • Dbq Galileo Galilei

    249 Words  | 1 Pages

    Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer who disagreed with the Roman Catholic theory of geocentrism. He was not a heretic because he was a Christian and had similar beliefs to the Roman Catholics, but he did not agree with the Church’s theory of the position and movement of Earth in the Solar System. Document A is an excerpt of a letter to Duchess Christina of Tuscany written by Galilei, counter-arguing the heresy claims. In the letter, Galileo wrote, “Can an opinion be heretical and yet have no concern with the salvation of souls?” Although he did not believe in the astronomical theory of the Church, he believed that his scientific thoughts should not interfere with his religious beliefs.

  • Is Herschel's Observation For The Discovery Of Uranus?

    I chose to research the discovery of Uranus by William Herschel in 1781. William Herschel’s motivation for the discovery was his search for life on other planets, nebulae and double stars. He had no clue there could be other planets. Through my research, I learned that the discovery was an accident and misnomer at first, and that many people in the scientific community were needed to come to the conclusion that it was in fact a planet. William’s initial observation of the “nebula” was that its position moved a few nights later.

  • Essay On Galileo Heretic

    1415 Words  | 6 Pages

    According to the world history book from Bob Jones University, Galileo was a heretic, when it states “When Galileo published his findings, however, he also came into conflict with the Roman Catholic Church, which tried him for heresy.” I think the textbook was accurate in its belief that Galileo was a heretic because the definition of heresy is a “belief or opinion contrary to orthodox religious doctrine.” Galileo was an iconoclast because his theory that stated the earth revolved around the sun disagreed with the Roman Catholic Church’s belief of a geocentric galaxy. Galileo was opposed by cardinals, the Roman Catholic Church, philosophers, scholars, and, according to the holy Fathers, the Bible itself. Galileo was a heretic because his discoveries

Einstein once said “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.”. What defines success; your achievements or how many material things you have, how many people like you, or how many sights you have seen or things you have done. What defines value; what you will be remembered by, your intelligence and faith, things money can 't buy.
