More From Galileo Galilei

Science is science. science is what is. after discovery, tests, trial, if a consensus of scientists today said that the sun orbits around the earth, would we say that they're right simply because there is a consensus? no. because we know the earth orbits around the sun just as if there were a consensus that the earth is flat would we agree with them? no. so there can't be a consensus on something that hasn't been proven. this is a political movement. this whole global warming thing is a political movement.
Political Earth Today
The church at the time was much more faithful to reason than galileo himself, and also took into consideration the ethical and social consequences of galileo's doctrine. its verdict against galileo was rational and just.
Faithful Religion Atheism
The sun is a huntress young, the sun is a red, red joy, the sun is an indian girl, of the tribe of the illinois. the sun is a smouldering fire, that creeps through the high gray plain, and leaves not a bush of cloud to blossom with flowers of rain. the sun is a wounded deer, that treads pale grass in the skies, shaking his golden horns, flashing his baleful eyes. the sun is an eagle old, there in the windless west. atop of the spirit-cliffs he builds him a crimson nest.
Girl Rain Flower
And it came to me then. that we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. from far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. when the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. maybe even open our hearts to each other. but that was only for the briefest moment. in the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. until we burned up and became nothing.
Beautiful Lonely Stars
It is in the name of moses that bellarmin thunderstrikes galileo; and this great vulgarizer of the great seeker copernicus, galileo, the old man of truth, the magian of the heavens, was reduced to repeating on his knees word for word after the inquisitor this formula of shame: "corde sincera et fide non ficta abjuro maledico et detestor supradictos errores et hereses." falsehood put an ass's hood on science.
Science Men Names
Some men […] choose to seek greatness, while others are forced to it. it is always better to choose than to be forced. a man who is forced is never completely his own master. he must dance on the strings of those who forced him.
