Galileo's part in the controversies over theology, astronomy and philosophy culminated in his trial and sentencing

In reaction, scholars such as Cosimo Boscaglia maintained that the motion of the Earth and immobility of the Sun were heretical, as they contradicted some accounts given in the Bible as understood at that time. Galileo's part in the controversies over theology, astronomy and philosophy culminated in his trial and sentencing in 1633, on a suspicion of heresy. Negative: Heresy is slowly influenced by Galileo's narrative, and religion and science are always inseparable.
