Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

or this, Galileo was arrested and threatened with torture and death, but he refused to deny what he knew to be true. "I do not believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use," he said.

Why does the author include this selection in the article?

The author includes the quote to show how great thinkers like Galileo were committed and dedicated to humanism and the sciences they believed in.

Explanation:

As you may already know, many great thinkers and scientists have been persecuted and punished for their thoughts and research. Today, we know that these thinkers were correct, but at the time that they lived, people did not take well the ideas and discoveries that they obtained, causing them to suffer strong reprisals from the church and the government. The most notable example of this was the persecution suffered by Galileo, but even with so much persecution he did not give up what he knew was correct.

When the author quoted Galileo in his article, it means that he seeks to emphasize the dedication and responsibility of these authors to what they studied.
