Last I heard they were not in denial of the earth going around the sun either. Failure to lift a papal bull does not prove they still believe the opposite. They recognize now that not everything is completely contained in the Bible and it is no longer heresy to accept scientific discoveries.
ditto
Oy Yoy Yoy Yoy Yoy - Anyone standing on the shore could see it was curved - even primitives.
I will not read such utterly ridiculous material. I would rather spend my extremely precious and limited time doing something much more important. Which would include just about anything else.
Comments like these are very similar to what I hear today from atheists, and similar to what I used to say when I was an atheist… Notice I didn’t say you are an atheist, so don’t go that route in your response; so sarcasm is probably not the best case for your position, you are better off saying nothing, or actually saying something which refutes the position. But that would be impossible since you refuse to read any of it.
“Official call” from CA… That will solve everything, won’t it?
You seem to hear only what you want to hear. Science has plenty of evidence of the earth going around the sun. Is this an attempt to debunk the Bible? No. It is probably God revealing things that he didn’t necessarily feel the need to do for those who wrote the Bible. Even the Church is not at odds with science. They are not against biologist finding out what makes people tick or space exploration or anything like that. You seem to believe as though they are.
In the 650 pages of Galileo Was Wrong, Vol. I: The Scientific Case for Geocentrism that Robert Sungenis addresses this purported evidence.
Without even wasting my time reading such nonsense, he probably addressed it from a fundamentalist approach towards scripture. We as Catholics, while depending on the Church to guide us in interpretation of scripture, have been cautioned time and time again not to take the fudnamentalist view. For example, the lie of sola scriptura. That has already been proven. You cannot rely on scripture alone. God reveals things over the course of time, whether it be Church doctrines that were not explicitly in scripture or scientific knowledge.
No, gooyjim, you are the one with the fundamentalist attitude. You are prejudging something you know nothing aboutt. The Volume I am talking about deals with the cosmological, astronomical, and physial aspects of geocentrism.
Amazing.
Well, Phil, you need wait no longer - in fact, apparently you missed it.
And stop accusing Catholic who accept the earth going around the sun as being bad Catholics who won’t stand up for the truth. I show no fear in accepting science as long as it is not attempting to disprove faith.
And I and many others in this thread have provide ample evidence for heliocentrism. You overlook this and don’t respond to it. I’m comfortable with the facts of science I was taught in school.
