Even though the Church condemns sciences like Astronomy as heresy, Galileo argues that the Bible actually doesn't find science or experimentation wrong at all. He reasons that the Bible was never meant to be taken literally. It is left up to interpretation and his ideas shouldn't be viewed as dangerous because the Bible doesn't mention sciences at all; and what isn't important to the Bible and to salvation, shouldn't be dwelled upon by the Church. Galileo writes that what isn't answered by the Bible is left up to mortals to discover. Not all secrets of the world were revealed on purpose so that humans could discover things for themselves. There are no bounds to human ingenuity.
