  2. Background • Born February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy • Oldest of six children • At first, wanted to be a priest • Went into medical school at his father’s willing • Started studying Science

  3. Heliocentrism • Idea that the sun is at the center of the universe. • Galileo Galilei pushed this idea, but the church said it was heresy. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqy5zCTsnSE

  4. Why Pope was against Heliocentrism • Since the Son of God descended from heaven onto Earth, it makes sense that the Earth is at the center of the universe. • Literal translations of the Bible supported the Earth being at the center: 1 Chronicles 16:30, Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, Psalm 104:5, Ecclesiastes 1:5

  5. Galileo’s Argument • Telescopic observations of the Venus’s and Jupiter’s moons progress through the sky • Mathematical calculations • Copernican theory: 1543
