The fact was stated in a report which was tabled at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference on…

Many scientific theories have caused conflict with the religious beliefs and values of some people. Galileo Galilei’s interest in optics and astronomy drove him to innovative discoveries, His confirmation of Copernicus theory of a heliocentric solar system, caused a clash between faith and science.
