Reporter: Soyon Galileo: Shawn Church Representative and Announcer: Rachel

Key Question: What is Galileo stating, and what is preventing him from spreading his theories? Why?

Script:

Breaking news!!!!! The trial of the century is taking place in Italy. Now we will take you live to the trial. Reporter, are you there? Yes, I am here and ready to give the news. Tomorrow, two lawyers will debate over whether Galileo’s ideas are acts of heresy. There are many clashing ideas between Galileo and the Church ministry. Oh, here comes Galileo! We will have a quick interview with him! Q: Hello Mr. Galilei! A: Hello there! Q: So Mr. Galilei, how are you feeling right now? Nervous? Confident? A: Well, I feel very confident. I’m sure that I’ll be able to convince everyone in the courtroom with my undisputable evidence. I ALSO HAVE MANY SUPPORTERS. Q: What point are you planning to make in this trial, Mr. Galilei? A: Hoho~ First of all, I think that the Church should not base their knowledge about the universe on sacred books… Physical problems should be understood only through science and experiences! Q: What are some of your backup evidence to this opinion? A: You see, some planets, five to put exactly, are orbiting around the planet Jupiter. Which means that the sun could be orbiting around something itself. Q: I see, so Mr. Galilei, what is preventing you from making your discoveries? A: As you may know, the Church opposes any scientific theories that don’t give any credit to God. This is really annoying actually for I believe that everything in this world should be explained through experience and logical reasoning. Q: Thank you for your time Mr. Galilei. A: You’re welcome, it was my pleasure. That was Mr. Galilei live from the courtroom. Now I’ll be interviewing the church representative.

Q: How do u feel about the trial tomorrow, sir? A: I feel VERY confident that I will win! The world is still controlled by the Roman Catholic Church as you may know. Challenging such great force results only in failure and embarrassment. I say, Galileo is committing a great sin here. God is with me, therefore, I will win. Q: Well, you sound very determined! Good luck on that! So, what point are you planning to raise in the trial tomorrow? A: As many people will agree, Galileo must be punished for his acts of heresy. He has believed the doctrines that are false and contrary to the Holy Scriptures. He EVEN tried to SPREAD these ideas to the other faithful citizens. He has questioned the almighty God, and therefore, he must receive his punishment. Q: Ohhhh, what evidence are you planning to give in order to prove these ideas? Do you have any counterarguments against Galileo’s statements? A: First of all, Galileo has stated that the sun is NOT the centre of the universe, the Earth is. According to the Holy Scripture, this statement is false. We live on the Earth with the God, therefore, Earth MUST be the centre of this whole life system. Q: Very interesting! Well, thank you for your time! ☺ A: No problem, God bless all of us.
