Eh, not quite the same thing.
That was more misinterpretation of Bible vs observation.
This is more theory vs theory, one of which has strong religious connections.

| Actually the whole affair between Galileo and the Roman Catholic Church was
started not by the church itself but by other astronomers of the day as
Galileo's work went against the consensus of the time. The other astronomers
tried to use the ecclesiastical courts of the church against
Galileo.
Originally the Church and the Jesuits supported Galileo. However a
later published defense of heliocentrism was for some reason taken as an attack
on the Pope Urban VIII and it is for this that he got tried for heresy
Normally
I don't consider Wikipedia much of a source, but considering their biases they
are probably accurate on this one. Galileo_Galilei [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
