Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Christian apologist Steve Anonsen as they explore the real story of Galileo Galilei, beyond the myth of a lone hero battling the church.
Galileo built on centuries of Christian scholarship devoted to rethinking the solar system, physics, and the broader cosmos. His ardent defense of Copernican heliocentrism and his conflict with the church highlight both the brilliance and the limitations of one of history’s great scientists.
This discussion challenges the common “science vs. faith” narrative, showing Galileo as a complex, gifted figure whose legacy still offers lessons for today.
