In addition, his conflict with the Roman Catholic Church is taken as 38 major early example of the conflict of authority and freedom of thought, particularly with science, 39 Western society. He was a man 40 experimented—never did he take anything for granted. Instead, he despised（蔑视） the prejudices and book learning of the Aristotelians and drew his 41 (conclude) fearlessly. He had been the first 42 (turn) a telescope to the sky, and he had seen there evidence enough to overthrow（推翻） Aristotle and Ptolemy together. Although Galileo found 43 difficult for him to make people 44 (convince) of his theories, he still stuck to his views. His observations showed the theory that the earth moves around the sun was right. It was only many years later 45 the world recognized his greatness.
