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. /dickwad Why don't you stay at LP, Paddy? The dumb seem to thrive there - with a couple exceptions, Too Conservative, We The People...
