I understand that it is sometimes preferable to... simplify history or science when giving a very basic education, but claiming that... all of those things were first conceived of by Galileo is simply untrue.

Is it all that hard to toss a few lines at the Greeks and oh I don't know, Copernicus :?

Nope. Sorry. Earth goes around the sun, the stars are but twinkling lights and NO ONE ELSE thought otherwise prior to Galileo.
This seriously irks me. It's not hard to at least say "Heliocentrism was around but not at all predominant before the Renaissance".
