Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Yes I'm sure. You will note that I said today in my post.
Words and concepts change over time as I'm sure you know. Semantic games is not something that can either prove or disprove science or the scientific method.

I'm trying to reconstruct the past here.

You claim he didn't discover this [at-the-time] scientific fact, yet you didn't give credit to his predecessors.
I have a feeling he was indeed made a scapegoat to shift the focus off of the fact that scientific errors can, and are, perpetuated.
VirOptimus had your purpose in making this thread pegged from the start.. just as we all did. You are like an Bad Open Book to us. In response you deceitfully claimed your purpose was just to "reconstruct the past." Finally, you admit the truth, that you are trying to use Aristotle to discredit science today. Is this something Jesus would do, or a Pharisee? Or perhaps a certain Fallen Angel? Answer that, AVET.

I know what you guys are trying to do, and I'm too vigilant to fall for it.
I don't even want to see the word 'today' in this thread; but hey, that won't stop you guys, will it?
So, you really meant to write, " I have a feeling he was indeed made a scapegoat to shift the focus off of the fact that scientific errors could, and were, perpetuated." Right, Mr. Pharisee?

Not a thesis, but a question. Your thesis, which has become apparent, is "science makes mistakes", and to evidence this you chose an example more than two millennia old which has nothing to do with the science practiced today.
