What instrument did Galileo develop which help find evidence to support the heliocentric theory?
Galileo played the lute.
Is it true that Alfred wegner provided evidence from landforms and climate in support of his theory of the shrinking earth?
true
How did data gathered using Galileo's telescope support the heliocentric model?
By looking into space with the telescope.
How does the evidence of the wmap and COBE support the big bang theory?
The work provided even more additional evidence to support the Big Bang theory of the universe.It was also regarded as the starting point for cosmologyas a precision science.
What evidence did Galileo provide for the support of a Heliocentric solar system?
Galileo did not directly provide evidence for the heliocentric principle but he did discover important evidence that raised doubts about the Ptolemaic system with the Earth at the centre. First, he discovered the moons of Jupiter, and these were the first objects discovered that definitely orbited round something that was not the Earth. That was one thing. Secondly, he discovered that Venus has a gibbous phase when seen from Earth in certain positions in its orbit. This is not explained by the Ptolemaic system because Venus cannot go round behind the Sun in the Ptolemaic system. Again this did not prove the heliocentric principle because Tycho Brahe came up with an intermediate system that had Mercury and Venus orbiting round the Sun, and then the Sun and the other planets orbit round the Earth. So this was still a geocentric system that explained all Venus's phases. Therefore Galileo did not have enough evidence to prove the heliocentric principle, and after his trial he recanted. But 60-70 years later enough new evidence had been gathered to convince most people that the Sun is at the centre, as we believe now.

What did Galileo discover that gave support to the heliocentric theory?
The Jovian moons. Galileo had little evidence for the heliocentric theory, which was later (in the 18th century) generally accepted as correct after the laws of motion and the law of gravity showed that the Sun is by far the most massive object in the solar system and therefore must be at the centre. Galileo did not have the other major piece of evidence supporting the heliocentric theory, which is the parallax shown by relatively close stars as the Earth moves round its orbit. Parallax is extremely small and was impossible to observe in Galileo's time, and this was used to support the idea that the Earth is at the centre. Bessel made the first measurements of parallax in the 19th century.

What is a textual evidence?
Textual evidence is evidence/support used to support an argument/position, and is derived from reading and drawing from other text. It is provided in the form of quotation, paraphrase, descriptions of theory and also description. Its importance is in the detail, and in paying attention to the detail in words and intent.
