The compromise
Galileo was the one who invent the telescope.What he did at first was not try to use that telescope study about the space, but sell the telescope to the country which as a defense weapon, that makes he get a degree and high yearly salary, this degree give he a good life which give he a chance that study of science. That made he try to prove the earth is moving around the sun, which we think is part of common knowledge. But this knowledge was the opposite theory of the Bible.
When he give his theory to the world, there only feel people want to stand with him, at the time of religion, people thought he was crazy. His son in low, his friends and his student start to turn against him. He did not have a good end, when the end of the show, his turn to blind and irascible, his daughter choose to not married, and his student was leaving. Nothing stand with him anymore, his theory had been known as a fallacy. After all things he been though, he choose surrender to the Catholicism. When the student leave, he saw a child which give he another idea, when the child run away and shout “ she is a witch” I think he will find although people know what the truth look like, they will still can choose to ignore that, they still could lie to themselves that they saw nothing, “they can un-see the thing which they already seen” Because they are afraid, and want to be afraid, they did not want to stay in a world which the Bible can be wrong, because the Bible is the only thing which they thought that was proved and that was touchable. They know everything about the bible but not everyone will become Galileo, their knowledge was too poor for a telescope and the space, they will not believe the start was moving, and they would not believe the they are moving around the sun. They only believe what they think was right.
Galileo did enough. We can not blame him about the surrender and his theory. He did what he can do for that time, his surrender make his theory survived, his job made he can feed his daughter and family, and left enough money for science. He finished his job which did give the world another truth which can not prove wrong, and he also was the first person who try to test the bible and survived. After all he has done, the church become more and more fragile then it was, the mistake of the bible has been found and proved wrong in next 200 years, and just one year before Galileo past away, another one of the greatest scientist born and his name is Sir Isaac Newton.
Although those theory has been covered for few years, but people will still try to dig deeper and try to find the truth which had been hiding for many years. When they find out they will know why the church hide in that deep and why that was important.
