@covertcounsellor6797 Giordano Bruno, again was condemned for his strange religious takes, not his claim of heliocentrism. Of course I'm not condoning his burning at the stake. Nor am I saying there weren't absolutely corrupt, evil church members, but burning someone at the stake wasn't particularly common even for pretty outrageous acts of heresy. And there's hardly any examples of people being burned or killed for scientific beliefs. The church (at least the Catholic one) took a symbolic interpretation of the Bible. It never claimed everything was literal, (the whole 6000 year old earth was never a belief of the church). Last thing is especially for heliocentrism, despite the fact that the church was quite accommodating about it, if you put yourself in the shoes of a thinkers at the time, the evidence was against you. Absence of Stellar parallex did not seem to support a moving earth. It's very easy to act like they were stupid, but really you wouldn't have known.....it was the development of the telescope to a high degree as well as the several supernova observed that helped change this ultimately. Yes, it's true that the Greeks had already considered this take also, but the evidence still wasn't there to suggest it.
