The problem is that as Governor, Rick Perry gave non-Christians (gays in particular) a kind of second class citizenship, like Muslim Dhimmitude.
Would you, as a Christian, make it illegal not to be Christian?
Testimony from lying, revisionist, ill-educated, pope-sucking, Catholic freaks aside, Galileo had a mathematical justification for his theory. He developed the theory of Galilean relativity which says that all motion is relative with respect to an inertial frame, a frame of reference with constant motion in a straight line. A point on the surface of the earth, because of earth's rotation, is not moving in an inertial frame. Galileo observed that the motion of a pendulum affected by Coriolis acceleration. In an inertial frame the pendulum would have returned to its initial position in a few seconds. Instead the pendulum moved in a more complex pattern with a 24-hour period.
This is a simple experiment. It's now called Foucault's pendulum.

It's just proof that the only thing in the Universe dumber than our President is Microsoft Software.
All the biographers of Galileo? Care to document that? You're the troll here, Altar Boy.
