Why did the church seek to silence galileo?

The answer is B i believe they tried to silence them because they got threatened about something they did not know and it was important

B.Galileo's observations could prove Copernicus's theories about the order of the universe.Explanation:Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer and physicist who lived at the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century. He was the first astronomer who used the telescope to observe celestial bodies. Through his observations, he proved with solid evidence that Copernicus's theory about the order of the universe, the Heliocentric model, was correct. The Heliocentric model, which states that the Earth and the planets orbit around the Sun, was against the old Geocentric model, which posits that the Sun, the Moon, and the planets rotate around the Earth, which lies fixed at the center of the system. This geocentric model, also known as the Ptolemaic model, was held by the Catholic Church as the true universal system ordered by God, and it was supported with Biblical references. Galileo's observations and the demonstration of the validity of Copernicus's theory threatened the model supported by the Church, and therefore, it threatened the Church's authority in moral, scientific, and political matters. For this reason, the Church sought to silence him and his studies. However, the truth came to the light and Galileo started a scientific revolution that continued with the studies of Kepler and Newton.

(1) They showed how mathematics and measurement could be used in scientific investigation. (2) B. In 1616, the church warned Galileo not to defend the ideas of Copernicus. Galileo's observations could prove Copernicus's theories about the order of the universe(3) B He knew that the planets revolved, but he did not believe they revolved around the Earth(4) B) The Church and God were no longer seen as the reason why everything happened the way it did.(5) A) Ptolemy's system no longer seemed to work with that scientists were observing, and scientists began to look for other theories.

Galileo's observations could prove Copernicus's theories about the order of the universe.

1. B) Increased confidence in human potential and individual worth encouraged ideas independent of traditional Church teachings.During the Renaissance, Humanism replaced the strong religiosity of the European Middle Ages. Therefore, in many fields, like arts, politics, and science, the human intellect was boosted to explore and experiment with new ideas that were forbidden under the traditional Church teachings.2. A) Renaissance thinkers encouraged individuals to question how things work, and scientists began to test these ideas with experiments during the Scientific Revolution.During the Renaissance, artists and technicians gave great importance to the observation of reality, study of nature, and experimentation. This new way of experiencing reality independent from the bonds of religion and moral sparked the Scientific Revolution. Thanks to this environment, scientists like Galileo, who used a telescope for the first time, Kepler, and Tycho Brahe, made observations of the heavenly bodies that changed completely the way we understood how the universe works.3. B) Scientists shifted from thinking about the world to trying to understand how it functioned.During the Middle Ages, natural philosophers accepted without any doubt the theories about how the world works proposed by Aristotle millennia ago. All these theories were based on mere speculation, but the new Renaissance spirit pushed scientists to test these theories and try to understand what they were observing. It was the birth of the scientific method.4. D) Newton's book argued that mathematical principles could be applied to our understanding of the natural world.In Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, Sir Isaac Newton argued that Mathematics is the language of nature and, therefore, every action in the natural reality could be understood through mathematical study.5. B  He published On the Structure of the Human Body, which became the foundation of modern anatomy.This book had a great impact on the study of human anatomy and Andreas Vesalius is considered one of the most important figures in medical research of all times due to this work.6. A) Bacon's proposed use of inductive reasoning encouraged scientists to come to conclusions by way of data collection.The British philosopher, Francis Bacon, is considered the father of empiricism. He made precise rules for the new experimental scientific method using inductive reasoning, which consisted of collecting individual data, look for patterns, and come to general conclusions or laws.7. D) He noticed that everything in the natural world had mathematical properties, and they could be used to study and measure everything.Johannes Kepler, who was a German mathematician, physicist, and astronomer, had a great influence from the Pythagorean school. According to this way of thought, everything could be reduced to numbers and arithmetical proportions and relations. Thus, Kepler restlessly looked for mathematical patterns in the order and motion of heavenly bodies.8. B) Galileo's observations could prove Copernicus's theories about the order of the universe.Galileo's observations through the telescope provided empirical proofs for the Copernicus' model, that stated that the Earth moves around the Sun, and not the other way around as the Church said. This was an affront to the authority of the Catholic Church, and for that reason, it wanted to silence Galileo.9. C) Scientists now gathered information and facts before creating a theory.Inductive reasoning consists of collecting particular data, look for the patterns that data shares, and come to general conclusions. For example, "John and Peter are men, John and Peter are mortal, therefore all men are mortal", the general conclusion here is "all men are mortal." Deductive reasoning is the opposite, it parts from general or universal law and then it is applied to particular cases. For example, the general law is "all men are mortal", since John and Peter are men, therefore, John and Peter are mortal.

Galileo Galileo was an Italian astronomer, physicist, mathematician and philosopher, whose research laid the groundwork for modern mechanics and physics. Representative of the theory of heliocentrism and Copernicanism of the movement and order of celestial bodies. He was fiercely persecuted by the Inquisition, on the pretext that his teaching was directly against the Holy Scripture. He was charged with heresy because he did not want to give up his teachings, why he spent the rest of his life in home detention.The answer is B.

At the time, the church was very insistent in their belief that the earth was in the center of the universe (geocentric) when Galileo agreed with Copernicus that the sun is in the center of the universe. (heliocentric)

Because during Galileo's time, no one dared to question what is what and how is that and why, and most people are very religious and Galileo's questions baffled the religious order for he is apparently offending God's creation.

Because he spoke out against the church saying that the earth revolves around the sun. the church believed that we (the earth) was the center of the solar system and that the sun revolved around us.
