Galileo, Science, and Faith: A Historical Perspective
This chapter explores the complex relationship between Galileo and the Roman Catholic Church, clarifying misconceptions about his perceived heresy and highlighting his attempts to reconcile science with scripture. It discusses the broader implications of prioritizing scientific authority over biblical texts, particularly in light of contemporary conflicts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The speakers challenge the adversarial narrative between science and theology, advocating for an inclusive understanding that considers both natural and supernatural explanations in the pursuit of truth.
