let me summarise:
Tassman said people should not question the scientific consensus on AGW.
I said that I guess copernicus should not have questioned the scientific consensus of his day: geocentrism.
Tassman claimed it wasnt a scientific view but a religious view
I said it was a scientific view started long before Christianity by Greek astronomers
Shuny said that it was religious because Christians like Martin Luther believed it.
I said that means that heliocentrism must be a religious view then because Christians believe it today.
Now you are all caught up. You're welcome.

What Shunny pointed to was the well known fact that many people held and defended the view based on the testimony of the Church Fathers. He did not claim that the view in itself in all understandings of it would have to be religious but pointed to a fact that you are yet to adress, namely that many people held to this view and defended it because of the testimony of the Church Fathers.Last edited by Charles; 09-23-2017, 01:01 PM.

As much as a simpleton like you wants to believe it, this wasn't a war of science versus religion. On the contrary, "One must not forget that the Copernican hypothesis itself was never denied by the Inquisition, but only that it was not allowed to be presented as a scientifically proven theory or as a truth," which was a perfectly sensible position to take at the time.

AGW is not like the belief in heliocentralism though. The point was at some point people thought this was the case, now we know better. AGW isn't really on the same level as we now know it is the case.
People discuss the specific amount of AGW and it's effects- but not the fact that it's happening. Same with an old earth- the discussion is maybe regarding how old it is exactly, but not that it's old.
The whole thing is a false equivalence, so I don't see the need to discuss what the church fathers thought about it- it's irrelevant.

Originally posted by Charles View PostI did read it. I fail to see how it makes the case that Luther did not hold and defend his view based on his reading of the Bible. The fact that the Bible could be read differently does nothing to prove that wrong.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

The primary issue was that Galileo was asked to refrain from treating an unproven hypothesis as if it was true. In Galileo's own words, "Lord Cardinal Bellarmine told me that Copernicus's opinion could be held suppositionally, as Copernicus himself had held it."
Then there's the following illustrating just how personal and politically motivated the charges against Galileo really were:
It continues:
Galileo eventually published his book after some political maneuvering; however:
Then the trial began:
So like I've been saying, this wasn't a case of science versus religion but a political exercise by Galileo's enemies. The fact that some of the judges were in favor of the book's continued publication is proof enough of that. The changes they wanted, and which were earlier requested by Urban, were to present the heliocentric hypothesis as more speculative whereas Galileo presented it as a proven theory despite his lack of proofs.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
