>>hurr durr da ebil church was ignoring evidences and based science cauze muh dogge'ma maymay

When will people stop falling for this reversal of facts? Galileo had zero (0) evidence and it was the church that was all like "prove it faggot" and "you can't declare something true because of your fee fees".

>But to its opponents, the telescope would be yet another eyesore despoiling an ancient sacred landscape
>“This is a very simple case about land use,” Kealoha Pisciotta, a former telescope operator on Mauna Kea who has been one of the leaders of a group fighting telescope development on the mountain for the last decade. “It’s not science versus religion. We’re not the church. You’re not Galileo.”
>Some native Hawaiians complained that their beloved mountain had grown “pimples,” and that the telescope development had interfered with cultural and religious practices that are protected by state law.
>Construction trash sometimes rolled down the mountain, said Nelson Ho, a photographer and Sierra Club leader who complained to the university. “They wouldn’t listen,” he said. “They just kept playing king of the mountain.”
>An audit by the State of Hawaii in 1998 scolded the university for failing to protect the mountain and its natural and cultural resources. An environmental impact study performed by NASA in 2007 similarly concluded that 30 years of astronomy had caused “significant, substantial and adverse” harm to Mauna Kea.
>Ms. Pisciotta said she had once dreamed of being a cosmologist but lacked the requisite math skills and instead took a night job operating a radio telescope on Mauna Kea. She became disenchanted when a family shrine disappeared from the summit and the plans for the outriggers impinged on a cinder cone. “Cinder cones are burial sites. It’s time to not let this go on,” she said.

Can't you fucking read the article reddit? This is nature/historical activists protecting their land.

>But the Catholic church did not care, they saw it as heresy.

It was the church that gave Galileo the thumbs up for his study of heliocentrism. Galileo problem was he went full fedora in his book and started insulting everyone who didn't follow his every word.

Bullshit. The pope at the time was Galileo's fucking childhood friend[1] and gave him the thumbs up to study Copernican theory. Galileo book had two main characters (no one cares about the third):
Salviati argues for the Copernican position and presents Galileo's views directly, calling him the "Academician".
Simplicio keeps the traditional views and the arguments against it because that's simple and he's stupid.

It was a miracle he didn't have his head cut off and the church's only mistake was apologizing for it later on.

>[1] He revived his project of writing a book on the subject, encouraged by the election of Cardinal Maffeo Barberini as Pope Urban VIII in 1623. Barberini was a friend and admirer of Galileo, and had opposed the condemnation of Galileo in 1616. The book, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, was published in 1632, with formal authorization from the Inquisition and papal permission.
