His theories were inconsistent with religion so he was prosecuted. The main theories of astronomy at the time were Ptolemaic models. His contradicted this as well as theorizing space could change. His models left no room for heaven and hell so the church disagreed with this and condemned him to death.

Galileo was forbidden by the pope to treat the Copernican heliocentric system as anything other than hypothetical, because he did not want anything else to challenge the geocentric Aristotelian system that the church had been using for centuries. Because of this, Galileo was unable to truly outline his findings candidly. Also, nobody believes his theory about the tides being proof that the Earth is in motion.
