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.
How many songs is Galileo mentioned in?
Ellis Paul - "Does Galileo Pray?" Indigo Girls - "Galileo"
What actions did the Catholic Church pursue concerning Galileo and his ideas?
The church was angry with Galileo because he said that the sun was the center of the solar system instead of the earth. The church did not believe him as they thought that earth was the center and everything orbited around it...
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.
Why was Galileo charged with hersey?
Galileo was charged with hersey because the Catholic church decided that the idea of the planets going around the Sun was preposterous, they declared that scientists must treat heliocentric thinking as a hypothesis only and not fact. As it turned out Galileo went against the grain and published many works that disputed those, he was told that he may not teach, write, or speak about his ideas as if they were fact, he continued through 2 more popes, eventually he was held on "trial" by the Roman Inquisition, he decided to plea to lesser chargers for less punishment. He was forced to write a document that says he pushed his ideas too hard and put under house arrest where he spent the rest of his days. One of the greatest men in scientific history, and he wasn't allowed to continue doing work. Stephen Hawking forced to work at McDonalds... YAY RELIGION!
Why have authorities sometimes been a hindrance to scientific inquiry?
There have been many times in history where "organizations" or governments or churches have hindered scientific inquiries. To give well known example would be to recall what Galileo had to suffer in his day. As a scientist he was an outstanding man of his time. The Catholic Church in 17th century forced him to recant the Copernican concept of the universe. He was forced to do this because religous ideas of the time conflicted with scientific ones.

Who was forced to recant many of his ideas about the universe by the Catholic Church?
AnswerThe most famous person forced to recant, when his theories were contrary to Church doctrine, was Galileo. Galileo observed the planets and developed the theory of heliocentrism - that the earth and all the planets revolved around the sun. The Catholic Church was opposed to this theory because it was contrary to a literal reading of scriptures. Today, the theory of heliocentrism is universally accepted, and Galileo is sometimes viewed as the "Father of Modern Science". The Church is now much more circumspect in opposing scientific theories that would force it to review its understanding of the scriptures.Another PerspectiveApparently the Jesuits and many others within the Catholic Church were originally quite receptive to Galileo's ideas. The problem was not originated with the Catholic church as such but with the scientific community who were steadfastly committed to the old Ptolemaic earth-centered cosmology. These stood to lose a lot and so got the church 'heavyweights' on side in order to have their view prevail. In addition, the Bible does not support the earth-centered view anyway, only using the 'language of appearance' which we still use today when we refer to sunrise and sunset, even though it is we that move.Galileo's views were thus always going to 'win' the argument anyway, since they merely were describing the world as it is, as the Bible does, even when believers in un-scientific things insist the Bible is wrong. It is not, nor ever was when closely examined, an issue of Galileo and science versus the Bible and the Catholic church.AnswerThat is revisionist junk history. Scientists didn't put him on trial under pain of torture and execution, the church did. AnswerGalileo recanted, after running into criticism from fellow scientists and some in the church. It's important to have a clear picture of what happened. "Another perspective" has summed up the historical facts clearly, and those facts are readily available on line. Galileo was, in fact, close friends with the Pope of the time, and died a devout Catholic. The church was the biggest funder of science and scientists in Europe before and throughout the middle ages. Galileo was proposing a theory that the earth moved, which was right, and that the sun was motionless, which was wrong, and without proof, his view was largely opposed by leading astronomers. Galileo's "Dialogue," and an overestimation of his own power in the politics of Rome exacerbated what followed.
