1. ESPIRIT chart 2. Scripts 3. document: Galileo

Summary: The document is from Galileo, whom had created the law of inertia, which was also know as Newton's three laws. Galileo, himself, was very interested in science, and in one of his theories, he believed that the sun revolved around the Earth (now we know that the Earth revolves around the Sun). He later found out that he was wrong, and he declared his mistaken theory was wrong to the public. He was baffled though because his theory was "proven" by the Bible, which meant the Bible was wrong. Galileo didn't want to say the Bible was wrong so in turn he said that the Bible isn't wrong, it just must be taken the correct way to be correct, which is saying that the Bible doesn't always say things directly, but might imply indirect things. This all related back to the time of Renaissance because during the time (also the time this was all happening) older ideals were being questioned and thought of in a new light through new ways. Many thinkers, such as Niccolo M., encouraged people to rethink things "today" (in their time) and relook at previous ideas.
