Galileo, on the other hand, thought it was ridiculous to take poetic passages from the Bible literally. Galileo, they argued, hadn’t completely proven his hypothesis. Church officials admitted that Galileo’s observations gave the appearance of moving around the Sun, but argued that appearances could be deceiving. The central dispute between Galileo and the Church was whether Galileo could assert that the Earth really did move around the Sun (that is, as a scientific fact), or whether he should present the idea as merely a hypothesis. Besides, the Bible clearly states that the Earth doesn’t move. It seemed unthinkable that God’s divine creation-humanity-would be placed upon a minor planet, rather than at the fixed center of the physical universe. Heliocentrism was a huge theological problem for the Church. Both of these observations agreed with the heliocentric model of Copernicus, which held that the Sun was the center of the universe. He had observed the phases of Venus, which showed that Venus moved around the Sun, and he had discovered four moons around Jupiter. Galileo had good reason to believe the Earth moved around the Sun. It also exemplifies the frustration Galileo felt toward Church officials. There’s no contemporary evidence that Galileo actually said those words, but it makes for a good story. As the story goes, after making his public renouncement Galileo muttered under his breath “Eppur si muove!” which in Italian means “And yet it moves!”

This conflict came to a head when Galileo was put on trial, and was forced to renounce his assertion that the Earth moved around the Sun.
Galileo believed that the Earth moved around the Sun, but this conflicted with the theological position of the Catholic Church, which held that the Earth was fixed in the center of the universe.
