Galileo

“While this episode is not a point for Protestants over Catholics, or secularism over religion, it is a cautionary tale about the need for humility in approach the relation of science and faith.” - Gavin Ortlund

“Lest we slip into critical attitudes toward science, we must remember that science began with a mandate God gave in creation. God commanded Adam and Eve to have dominion over the earth and to subdue it…. The scientific enterprise is a part of that task.” - R.C. Sproul

“Galileo’s biggest mistake was to move the fight out of the realm of science and into the field of biblical interpretation. In a fit of hubris, he wrote the Letter to Castelli in order to explain how his theory was not incompatible with proper biblical exegesis.
