Authors Note
Religion is such a fine thin line that a majority of people do not like to talk about it.
I want to share my journey with you and how I am able to say that, I am a Christian that practices Catholicism. I am a Roman Catholic. I must admit I am a little scared to talk about my beliefs because it is something that Catholics just do not do. We fear God. If we ever disrespect him or offend him, we as a church would suffer. It is also something that I have a hard time explaining. Religious journey naturally varies among many individual and none of them are alike.

    In the Christian religion, like many others, the belief in a single, ultimate, powerful being is upheld and practiced. However, unlike other monotheistic religions, the Christian belief in God is expressed in three parts: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This aspect of Christianity is unique and is part of what defines it. Although some people may think so, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not three separate beings. They are united as one in the Trinity, the same all-powerful God.

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.
