He eventually was charged with hersay because he had not proof.   You could only be charged with hersay if you had none.   If you had actual scientific proof there was nothing the church could do to you.

The Church charged Galileo for heresy because he supported the Heliocentric Model.  Thats the facts, thats history.  The above quote was the Church statement, and you are literally trying to reverse what the Church said on the matter.

The only 'historians' supporting your warped view are Catholic groups themselves.  Like you, they are seeking ingornance against the fact that the Church charged Galileo with believing the heliocentric model, and that the church banned all writings of concerning the heliocentric model (including Copernicus' who knew better than to publish his papers before he was on his deathbed).  This was the time of the Inqusition, yet you and other revisionists want to paint Christians as tolerant, secular, progress loving Catholics who only condemned Galileo and others like him for not having enough proof.

I won't continue this discussion with you any further.  If a man truly believes in fairies and unicorns, how can you convince him otherwise?
