In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare talks about how the Earth revolved around the Sun.
I'm pretty sure there are lots of examples, but I'm too lazy to figure them all out.

I heard a rumour that he was eventually killed.

in 1634, Galilieo Galilei is executed by the Inquisition for heresy, months after being found guilty. The Church had originally granted the blasphemer leniency, but after he continued to publish his “scientific” papers, they took action to silence his heliocentric fallacies forever.

England had got rid of the Catholic Church by then. The Vatican had no power over them so they could say what they liked. In Italy however it was a different story. But I don't think Gallileo was killed, not from what I can remember.

I see that History class is worthless today. Gallio was censured by the Catholic church for his discovery that the Earth orbited the Sun. Censured, not killed. His biggest problem was that he made disparaging remarks about the Pope, in public, for not adopting the new theory fast enough. He was also condemned by the Aristotelian society ( The leading Academics of the time)for the same thing. The Catholic Church removed the Cesure when he apologized for the remarks about the Pope. He died of old age, still drawing a pension from the Church

Pastor Billy says: absolute rubbish Galileo died of natural causes. The irony is this Shakespeare was Roman Catholic. He was raised in a Roman Catholic English home his parents were Catholics. Much of his writing is on persecution of Catholic England during the Tudor reign.
Try finding the book ShadowPlay by Clare Aquith.

The Bible doesn't say anything different. The only reason Galileo got nailed I believe was cos it contradicted man-made Catholic teaching so they felt threatened and killed him as they always did. And as they did to British Christians who tried to make that Bible readily available to the general public.

Gallileo wasn't killed, just put under house arrest and banned from speaking his heresies about moons around distant planets.

One guy was from England, the other guy was from Italy. Different countries, different times, different politics and laws.

I dont think galileo was killed lol? He was spared his life for confessing that he had lied or whatever it was, but was imprisoned for life.
