It is a myth that Galileo waged a war of science against dogma. Frankly, there were more scientific problems with heliocentrism at the time than just adding more epicycles to the Ptolemaic system.
Galileo was persecuted by the Church for being an asshole. And it wasn't really very much of a "persecution."

Why do you attempt to argue from such a corrupt knowledge base?
Do you realize that EVERYONE knows that you're lying here?
Copernicus' mathematical model for The Revolution of Celestial Spheres was published 20 years before Galileo was even born.

Acceptance of Copernican heliocentrism
From publication until about 1700, few astronomers were convinced by the Copernican system, though the book was relatively widely circulated (around 500 copies of the first and second editions have survived, which is a large number by the scientific standards of the time).

Galileo died before 1600 and contemporary scientists in 1700, were still, by and large, not impressed by heliocentrism.

Ya ***think*** they wanted to share his fate?

I saw.
Amazing how none except Lubey and calcon are registered here. I was also struck by Lubey's lucidness. All he does here is write gay porn.
Typical of the LP "men"...they're women [and the women are men.]
