What did Galileo mean when he said The Bible shows the way to go to Heaven not the way the heavens go?
He asserted that the biblical teaching which has the Earth at the centre of the universe is not in fact correct. The church took this as a direct challenge to its authority and declared it a heresy. Galileo was forced to recant after he could not produce evident to support his assertions, but in subsequent centuries after many further scientific discoveries the heliocentric theory, with the Sun at the centre, became universally accepted.
Why was Galileo arrested and punished for publishing his theory on the earth and the sun?
He was arrested after publishing a book that advanced the heliocentric theory (the Earth going round the Sun) as fact and not just a scientific theory. The book portrayed the Pope as an imbecile, and as Galileo had already been warned that he could not say the movement of the Earth is a fact without proof, he was put on trial for heresy. At that time there was no proof that the theory is correct and Galileo was forced to admit it and retract. In later centuries more and more scientific evidence was discovered that forced everyone to accept that the Earth is in orbit round the Sun. So in a way Galileo was right all along but he just got himself into trouble with his aggressive behaviour. He made important scientific discoveries of his own but the heliocentric theory is not on the list.
