Answer:

What Galileo actually wrote was that the universe is written in the language of mathematics. In the passage of where he wrote that, he said nothing about God being the author of that mathematical writing. Specifically, he wrote,

In Sarsi I seem to discern the firm belief that in philosophizing one must support oneself upon the opinion of some celebrated author, as if our minds ought to remain completely sterile and barren unless wedded to the reasoning of some other person. Possibly he thinks that philosophy is a book of fiction by some writer, like the Iliad or Orlando Furioso, productions in which the least important thing is whether what is written there is true. Well, Sarsi, that is not how matters stand. Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the letters in which it is composed. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one wanders about in a dark labyrinth.

What Galileo was getting at here is that the language of mathematics is the key to understanding nature. It is with the language of mathematics that we can make precise quantitative empirical measurements. And it is with the language of mathematics that we can express precise relationships between these measured quantities. Without the precision of mathematics, natural philosophy cannot make precise predictions that can be tested against experience. As a result it “wanders about in a dark labyrinth.” This insight is one of the reasons Galileo is rightfully considered one of the founders of modern empirical science.
