During the early seventeenth century, growing acceptance of the heliocentric theory precipitated an intellectual crisis affecting organized religion, particularly the Catholic church. Medieval Catholicism had accepted Aristotle on physics and Ptolemy on astronomy. The church now felt its authority and reputation challenged by the new ideas. Copernicus and Brahe had both evaded the issue by purporting to deal only in mathematical speculations. Kepler and others of his time became increasingly impatient with this subterfuge. The most persistent of these scientific rebels was the Italian mathematician-physicist, Galileo Galilei. Galileo discovered more facts to verify the Copernican theory, but as he wrote to Kepler, "... up to now I have preferred not to publish, intimidated by the fortune of our teacher Copernicus, who though he will be of immortal fame to some, is yet by an infinite number (for such is the multitude of fools) laughed at and rejected." According to the passage, what was the "subterfuge' that Kepler and others were impatient with? OPTIONS     1) The acceptance of the heliocentric theory.   2) Accepting the theories of Copernicus and Brahe as mathematical models to represent reality.   3) Declaring the theories of Copernicus and Brahe as merely theoretical.   4) The scientific rebellion of the Italian mathematician-physicist, Galileo Galilei. discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day In a triangle, the sum of any two sides has to be greater than the third side.
