He asserted that the biblical teaching which has the Earth at the centre of the universe is not in fact correct. The church took this as a direct challenge to its authority and declared it a heresy.

Galileo was forced to recant after he could not produce evident to support his assertions, but in subsequent centuries after many further scientific discoveries the heliocentric theory, with the Sun at the centre, became universally accepted.

Is the phrase from the heavens a verb?

No, it is not. A verb is a word that shows action: to run, to eat, to swim, to read. What you have given is an example of a "prepositional phrase"-- that is a preposition (a word that often shows location, such as: to, in, out, up, down, from, by, over, under, with) and a noun (a person, place or thing-- "the heavens" refers to a place). You could easily create a sentence by adding a verb and a subject, like this: Zeus shouted from the heavens to the people below. (The subject is Zeus; the verb is shouted.)

Where is God when heaven and earth are not yet created?

I have no idea It would be better to ask "Where isn't God before the heavens and earth were created?" Psalm 139 shows that God is omnipresent, He is everywhere present always. Having said that there is a place where His awsome glory and manifest presence is called the throne of heaven. I don't believe He ever leaves that place in that magestic manifestation but He does visit us here on earth In a peculiar way since creation.
