Galileo’s The Dialogue compares Copernicus’s heliocentric theory and Ptolemy’s geocentric theory. Ptolemy believed Earth was the center of the solar system. Copernicus created a model that showed the Sun at the center of the universe. Copernicus explained that Earth, like other planets, revolves around the Sun. Galileo supported Copernicus’s theory. His views upset the Catholic Church, which supported Ptolemy’s theory. Church authorities forced Galileo to recant his statements about Copernicus’s theory. He was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life.

The purpose of Galileo was to present the scientific way that the world works, describing why the model presented by the Copernican system which was in opposition to the Church's beliefs. The society did not respond kindly, or at least the church didn't because they accused him of heresy and the book was banned.

For the answer to the question above,

Dear John,

Our journey from Vietnam has been very rough, with so many sick people on this ship, yet it would be better than the czar's army. I will write again when I am ready for a wife. The Americans here did not take to kindly to us immigrating. I hope this life works out.

Sincerely,

liraira [26]

Answer: The correct answer is: In ancient Babylon, fingerprints were pressed on clay tablets to mark contracts. The oldest documents known as such where fingerprints are shown date from China in the third century B.C. Sir William Herschel began collecting fingerprints in 1856 and noted that they were not altered with age. In 1888 Sir Francis Galton together with Sir Edmund Richard Henry developed the fingerprint classification system and this system is still used in the United States. Identification by fingerprints is very reliable.
