TomS TDotO 17:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC) Reply What may have been the source for many people's belief that Galileo said this has been located, Giorgio de Santillana's The Crime of Galileo, but we still don't have a good citation directly to Galileo for it. Please, can someone get a reliable citation for it? It is often repeated, so perhaps it should be retained with a cautionary statement. I wish that somebody quotable had said it, whether Galileo or somebody else. I have tried to find this quotation in this source, or elsewhere in Galileo's writings, and I have, from time to time, inquired about it. It is only in order to shield your ignorance that you put the Lord at every turn to the refuge of a miracle."ĭialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems He did not, and that ought to show something.
Galileo quotes and yet it moves full#
"Surely, God could have caused birds to fly with their bones made of solid gold, with their veins full of quicksilver, with their flesh heavier than lead, and with their wings exceedingly small. Regarding one of the quotes in the "unsourced" section: It appears, however, that an italian historian changed the phrase some years ago - and it stood forever. That was obvioisly a rude provocation and is, in fact, funny on the original. Would be "The Bible teaches us the path to go to heaven, not how the sky is made.". In latin languages the word for "sky" can also mean "heaven" ("cielo" in spanish and italian, "céu" in portuguese, "ciel" in french and so on), despite the fact that each one of those also have a word for heaven (paradiso, paraíso, paradis). The problem of this quote is the word for "heaven", "cielo". He wrote: "“La Bibbia ci insegna la via per andare in cielo, non come il cielo sia fatto". Apparently he did - and the original phrase shows it. I'm not saying that Galileo did not have a sense of humor. The sad thing, however, is that this is actually not what Galileo said in that letter. The translation always try to keep the full intention of the original sentences. That would make sense, when you think about it. When I started to look around i've found that this quote actually is translated as a joke in almost any language (I'm brazilian and speak some other languages, by the way), even in italian. (Sorry about the bad english) - I've found strange that a sentence said by an italian man in the 17th century would make a pun (in some way) in english.
Heavens, the plural, is a more recent variation, not of Galileo's origin. To Galileo heaven was a singular place, not plural. The actual quote FROM THE CITATION 21st paragraph at the end, ( )if you would actually read it, says "Ghost" and "heaven goes". The variant (wrong though it is) is now a variant. Furthermore the quote, as referenced to the Fordham source was wrong. It is of significance that Galileo used the quote in a letter to The Grand Duchess Christina in defense of himself. Cardinal Baronius is not believed to have said this publicly. It should not be removed, because Galileo was quoting the Cardinal from what was believed to have been a private conversation between the two men.

Galileo quotes and yet it moves how to#
In the book I am currently reading (which isn't necessarily the authority on the subject of galileo) it states that when galileo said " The bible teaches us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go" he was quoting Cardinal Baronius. Indeed, we should accept misfortune not only in thanks but in infinite gratitude to Providence, which by such means detaches us from an excessive love for Earthly things and elevates our minds to the celestial and divine.Regarding one of the quotes in the 'unsourced' section. "What ever the course of our lives, we should receive them as the highest gift from the hand of God, in which equally reposed the power to do nothing whatever for us."Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe."."By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox."."I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations."."It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment."."It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved."."I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.".
