Why do you think the church was against Galileos ideas?

The Church opposed Galileo's ideas primarily because they challenged the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe, aligning with biblical interpretations. Galileo's support for heliocentrism, which proposed that the Earth revolves around the Sun, contradicted established theological views and threatened the Church's authority. Additionally, the rise of the scientific method and empirical observation posed a challenge to traditional religious beliefs. This conflict represented a broader struggle between science and religion during the Renaissance.


What controversy did Galileos work cause?

Galileo's work caused controversy because it challenged the accepted geocentric model of the universe, which placed Earth at the center. His support for the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center, contradicted religious teachings of the time. This led to conflicts with the Catholic Church and Galileo being condemned for heresy.


Why did men reject galileos ideas?

Men of Galileo's time largely rejected his ideas due to the prevailing adherence to Aristotelian physics and the geocentric model of the universe, which placed Earth at the center. His findings, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter, contradicted established beliefs supported by the Church. Additionally, Galileo's advocacy for the scientific method and reliance on observation and experimentation challenged traditional philosophical and theological frameworks, leading to resistance from both academic and religious authorities. This rejection was rooted in a combination of cognitive dissonance, fear of change, and the sociopolitical power of the Church.


What did galileos observations confirm?

He made many experiments and observations in the field of physics in general.
