Galileo Dialectical Journal

The Christian worldview is compatible with the Scientific Method. The Christian Worldview promotes faith in works and the Scientific Method promotes human intellect to search through God’s works. According to Draper (2003), “The history of Science is not a mere record of isolated discoveries; it is a narrative of

Galileo Galilei, a distinguished polymath that contributed to the commence of modern sciences was accounted to be a heretic. In the year, 1609, the astronomer proposed a new theory reckoned as heliocentrism, the idea that claims that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. His theory contradicted the belief of the Catholic Church who under the influence of the Bible, believed in the theory geocentrism, therefore accounting him as a heretic. Galileo Galilei is not a heretic because his theories were based on clear empirical observations, that scientifically proved his ideas. Galileo Galilei was believed to be a heretic for opposing the belief of the Catholic Church, despite him being scientifically correct.

Galileo’s Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems uses powerful logic and simply described concepts to overcome the Aristotelian bias of the populous and argue in favor of Copernicus’ heliocentric view of the universe. Copernicus theorized that the earth, along with the other planets in the sky, is in motion around the sun. The Aristotelian’s geocentric worldview, that the earth is the motionless center of the universe, was deeply ingrained into the minds of the people and the teachings of the church. Galileo’s argument had to be not only incisive and logical to have any sway, but it also had to avoid offending or denying the ancient principles of thought proposed by Aristotle. He walked this delicate line between educating the public and

In summer of 1609, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) pointed his revolutionary astronomical telescope to the heavens under the starry Venetian sky; his greatly important observations unveiled the mysteries of universe and would end up changing the course of scientific thought forever. Galileo lived in an age where there was much status quo, when scientists and philosophers would accept scientific and religious doctrine that had stood for hundreds, if not thousands, of years instead of challenging the accepted knowledge in favor of intellectual progress. Galileo’s scientific methods lead to significant discoveries explaining key scientific laws, such as the

In the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" Atticus Finch protects a black man named Tom Robinson in court for good reasons despite the fact that everybody opposes him to do as such. The court case is between the Ewell family and Tom Robinson who they are blaming for beating and assaulting Mayella Ewell. The main motivation for Atticus to be supporting Tom Robinson is that it is the just thing to do since Tom is innocent. Tom Robinson tries to tell the truth in court and show how Mayella is the person who was really behind it all. According to the novel it states, "She came to up and kissed me in favor of my face.

Galileo felt that the common opinions of others should not satisfy another’s curiosity and others should not be made to believe the opinions of others. The church as well as others that interpreted or preached from the Bible distorted the information and Galileo thought that those who did this should not be allowed to speak or preach about it.

“Men who were grounded in astronomical and physical science were persuaded as soon as they received my first message…” (30). Others took longer to come to terms with Galileo’s work due to how different it was from what they had come to believe. And, some were so stuck in their ways that they refused to look at the evidence and denied the truth at all cost.

Cohen’s “Life of Galileo,” poses some interesting points with regards to scientific thinking and social relations; all-while using Galileo as the source for the message. Cohen’s statement makes sense morally and I do agree that Galileo perhaps can be seen as a failure to society. I mean he did contribute to something such as the Atomic Bomb which in all reality could destroy society as we know it. However I tend to disagree with Cohens central tenant of his statement, because I think he is overgeneralizing Galileo’s role. Cohen insists that Galileo failed because he did not focus enough on social relations, which Cohen feels could have created this concept of an idealized reasoning, and in return the bomb would never have been made. This theory

The country and continent Australia is a cluster of incredible beauties whether they are the natural ones like as the snowy mountains of new south wales popularly known as ‘The Snowies’, The Coober Peddy which is famous as the ’Opal Capital of the World’, The Great Barrier Reef etc. and along with these the man made wonders such as Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbor Bridge, Royal Botanic Gardens, Royal Exhibition Buildings, Shrine of Remembrance etc.

In 1633 the Vatican put a famous astronomer under house arrest. His name was Galileo Galeli, and he was one of the most talented scientists to ever walk the face of the earth. Galileo was an early pioneer in the field of physics and astronomy, and played an important role in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

Galileo was often known as an Italian physicist. His changes in science include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations and support for Copernicans. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy," and the "father of modern physics". He also made the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter, named the Galilean moons. Galileo also worked in applied science and technology, inventing an improved military compass and other navigational instruments.

Galileo was born into a continent wracked by cultural ferment and religious divisions. In the late of 1500s, he saw the last years of the Italian Renaissance, which is a revival of arts and letters that sought the recovery and reworking of classical art and philosophy from ancient Greece and Rome. And on the 15th and 16th centuries, the Renaissance Italy was a center of artistic and intellectual ferment, a home for the great geniuses of the revived humanistic spirit Machiavelli, Da Vinci, Petrarch, Michelangelo, and many more. But the popes also enjoying the peak of their influence, not just the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church during these years, the popes do served as secular leaders as well, and controlling much of central Italy around

Galileo was a coward Galileo was an Italian natural philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician, who made fundamental contributions to the sciences of motion, astronomy and strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method. His discoveries with the telescope changed astronomy and paved the way for the acceptance of the copernican Heliocentric system. Galileo, using his own telescope he discovered that the moon has mountains and creators. Galileo found a new position at the university of Padua, teaching geometry, mechanics, and astronomy.

The scientific revolution was one of the greatest times in the 16th century and its ideals have proved to last to this very day. The great minds of the scientific revolution brought forth new concepts and vastly complex while each one is rooted in a basic fundamental. Some of these ideas and fundamentals were of the outside world, aka space, the planet and the stars, motion, and physics. One of the best minds of this time was, of course, Galileo Galilei. This great astronomer was a marvel at his work, he introduced controversial concepts that the church did not accept but those that he believed were to be true. Written by Galileo himself, this letter to the Grand Duchess professed his great discoveries and how they changed old ideas and
