You Shall Know The Truth And The Truth Shall Set You Free

‎"The Earth is firmly fixed; it shall not be moved." (Psalms 104:5)


It was this verse that held back the advance of science that was used as evidence against Galileo, who argued for the theory that the earth is not immovable, but rotates around the sun.

for saying that Galileo was called to Rome in 1633, and tried for the crime of heresy.

The 70 years old Galileo, was taken down into the dungeons of the church and shown the instruments of torture that were going to be used on him if he did not recant.

Fearing the torture, and fearing that he might share the fate of Giordano Bruno, whom the church burned at the stake a generation earlier for the same crime, Galileo recanted the truth.

He was confined to his home under house
arrest, neither allowed to leave or to receive visitors, for the last seven years of his life.

"And a sign for them is the night: We withdraw there from the day, and behold they are plunged in darkness; and the sun runs its course for a period determined for it; that is the decree of (him), the exalted in might, the all-knowing. And the moon-we have measured for it mansions (to traverse) till it returns like the old (and withered) Lower part of a date stalk. It is not permitted to the sun to catch up the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day: EACH (just) swims along in its own ORBIT (according to law)." (36:37-40)
