Trying to pin some Eurocentrism here is silly. The Europeans were the only Heliocentrists on Earth at that stage. While the Catholic Church did condemn it, this was far from a foregone conclusion, and one they tacitly regretted - Copernicus' works were placed on the index of banned works, but an exception was made for calendrical determinations, ie. they knew he was right, but it had become politically inexpedient to say so, after Galileo's public trial. That trial was more a witchhunt by his enemies, than an attempt to muzzle science or propogate theology.
Only about 50-70 years later did everyone agree Heliocentrism was valid, due to Kepler and Newton, and only confirmed observationally in the 18th and 19th centuries; but at the time of the trial, it was still debatable scientifically if this was the case.
It was up for money?It was ... a poor seller ...
Ah ... I see.Because the Church was politics --
It was up for money?
Ah ... I see.
So even though they were neary the same back then, make sure academians choose the ecclestical side, not the political side ... right?
The year of their death?You sound surprised that people actually sell books...
If I have a question, I'll ask ... thanks.TLK Valentine said:What else about the way the world works can we educate you on today?
The year of their death?
If I have a question, I'll ask ... thanks.
Of course, I'll probably have to ask three or four times, but once in awhile, educatees come through with an answer that usually addressed the question as it was written.
Why do you think I call these threads "challenge threads"?
So what's your excuse now?There were no sides, AV -- even kings bent the knee to the Church once upon a time...
Then who trademarked it?You've never heard of a posthumous work?
So what's your excuse now?
We live in a free country where we can tell it like it is, and academians still want to [solely] blame the Catholic church.
If the cowardly scientists were in hiding, that means the scientists that presented expert testimony at his trial would have been the geocentrists ... right?
The ones we're talking about.What scientists would those be, AV?
Then who trademarked it?
The ones we're talking about.
You know? geocentrists?
Who cares what their names were?
LOL ... solid aurum.Who testified against Galileo, AV?
LOL ... solid aurum.
Really?Then let me give you an answer, AV: there weren't any.
Really?
Okay, I'll humor you and play along.
When Galileo was convicted, did the geocentrists dance in the streets like Islams on 9/11?
Or did they get upset in the streets like the British did when Parliament tripled their tuitions?
Ya ... I once heard a joke:Neither. They just went about their business like 99% of the world does whenever anything happens.
Ya ... I once heard a joke:
Q: What does NASA stand for?
A: Need Another Seven Astronauts.
Sick humor, if you ask me; but that's the way the footbridge crumbles, I guess.
Christa McAuliffe was a blonde!?That's an oldie... The one I heard back in the day was:
Q: What were Christa McAulluf's last words?
A: "What does this button do?"
