Sorry, I'm not chat gpt. Funny thing is, I notice people say that whenever they can't win an argument against me. Is it because I'm too ruthless in my attacks? Should I talk less? lel

1st, While the articles you shared offer a nuanced reinterpretation of Galileo's trial emphasizing personal conflicts and political context, they overlook key historical facts. It's true that Galileo's trial wasn't solely about science versus religion, but the core issue remained his support of heliocentrism, which the Catholic Church officially declared <contrary to Scripture> in 1616. This declaration was not merely a personal or political stance but an institutional judgment based on the Church's authority over scriptural interpretation.
2nd, The argument that Galileo's conflict was only personal fails to acknowledge that his scientific claims challenged the theological framework of the time. Moreover, while Copernicus did receive some support from Church authorities, his heliocentric theory was also the subject of considerable controversy and was placed on the Index of Forbidden Books.
(Kepler's situation, though complex, included significant struggles related to religious and political pressures, contradicting claims that his work was universally praised without conflict)
