Galileo Trial

The way that the mathematician and the philosopher have decided to act is completely understandable because Galileo is telling everything they know about the solar system is wrong. This is comparable to telling someone that their girl/boyfriend who they have been with for 5 years has been cheating on them from the very beginning. their first reaction is disbelief, then anger. I would simply point out that Galileo had evidence and that they cant deny solid evidence even if they desperately want to ignore it for the purpose of protecting their fantasy world.
