That is all true.

And it would have been someone else if not him. Maybe not exactly right then, but in that time frame.

We were ready to discover these things. Let me put it this way, if Galileo lived in another time frame, he would have discovered calculus. He would have invented the steam engine. Etc.

Yes, his intellect allowed him to be able to get there, but a man like Galileo would have been at the forefront of his chosen field in any time period. And many men like Galileo have existed throughout time. Even contemporaneously with Galileo.
