Italian school children are taught errors in their science class regarding Galileo

Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler would show that Galileos mathematics was wrong the earth moves in an elliptical orbit and not a circle.

The same socialist propaganda on Galileo is now also being taught in the secular schools in Rome. Last week I overheard a school girl memorizing the trial of Galileo. She was in the public bus along with other school children that morning.

The political left do not want school children to know that at the time of Galileo it was known that the earth circled around the sun. This was the Copernicus theory. The early astronomers were priests and bishops and the science of astronomy was persevered in Catholic monasteries.

If the Church had accepted Galileos mathematics and theory  they would have been proved wrong at the time of Kepler and Brahe.

Later science would discover that man is still the centre of the universe. According to quantum physics, the study of the sub atomic level of matter, it is consciousness which decides an experiment. Light is a wave or a particle depending on the consciousness of the experimenter.Man is still at the centre of the universe in modern physics.

Galileo could have assumed that Scripture was wrong since at his time the findings of modern physics and the use of better telescopes was not available.

Galileo was an Italian teacher of mathematics and could not prove heliocentrism mathematically. The Catholic priest Copernicus had already given the world his heliocentric model of the universe.That the earth moves around the sun was not a discovery of Galileo.This was not a discovery of  Galileo as the children are taught here and which the media repeats often.

Similarly there is no evidence for evolution which is being taught in schools here as if it is a scientific finding. I could postulate that the ape has evolved from man, a degenerate species, and no evolutionist could prove me wrong.
