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.

In what two ways does Galileo seek to appease the church?

Galileo seeks to appease the Church primarily by emphasizing that his scientific findings do not contradict Scripture but rather complement it, arguing that the Bible should be interpreted in a way that is consistent with scientific understanding. Additionally, he shows deference to Church authority by framing his work as a means to enhance the glory of God, suggesting that studying the natural world reveals the divine order established by the Creator. Through these approaches, he aims to secure the Church's acceptance of his heliocentric views.


Was Galileo guilty?

Galileo appeared guilty to the Inquisition because his confessions and admissions seemed tongue in cheek. The record of his trial shows Galileo responding to his inquisitors with great deference. He blames many of his more controversial ideas on senility and a bad memory. He claims no recollection of a special injunction which allegedly was read to him in the earlier proceedings and which forbid him to defend or teach the heliocentric system in any way whatsoever. It is unclear if Galileo forgot or if the Holy Office sought to buttress its position through forgery.


Did Galileo do math?

Galileo Galilei is bet known for his studies in physics and astronomy. He mostly only used mathematics in his physics studies, but his name is attached to a paradox he created, stating there are as many perfect squares as whole numbers, despite most numbers not being perfect squares.

Is the phrase from the heavens a verb?

No, it is not. A verb is a word that shows action: to run, to eat, to swim, to read. What you have given is an example of a "prepositional phrase"-- that is a preposition (a word that often shows location, such as: to, in, out, up, down, from, by, over, under, with) and a noun (a person, place or thing-- "the heavens" refers to a place). You could easily create a sentence by adding a verb and a subject, like this: Zeus shouted from the heavens to the people below. (The subject is Zeus; the verb is shouted.)


Where is God when heaven and earth are not yet created?

I have no idea It would be better to ask "Where isn't God before the heavens and earth were created?" Psalm 139 shows that God is omnipresent, He is everywhere present always. Having said that there is a place where His awsome glory and manifest presence is called the throne of heaven. I don't believe He ever leaves that place in that magestic manifestation but He does visit us here on earth In a peculiar way since creation.
