As a Protestant - you won’t find many as opposed to the institution of the Roman Catholic Church as myself. I do think however there are many myths and misunderstandings surrounding the issue of Galileo and it’s clear that the Catholic Church was historically pro-scientific institution. The case has since been used by people opposed to the RCC as some lazy point of argument, rather than targeting more legitimate causes for criticism (of which there are many)
they are some of the dumbest people ive ever met
ok did the church not ban Galileo's books
It doesn't matter the shape of the Earth lol
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is cringe
wat
nobody is talking about the shape of the Earth
Oh fuck wrong scientist
Knowledge for the sale of knowledge is great
we known the Earth was a sphere since ancient Greece
We can learn how the world works around us
Galileo was the sun guy sorry
ye
Yeah don't care either way
It's not useful
Copernicus was first
It is useful
Galileo was indeed found guilty of heresy
and his books were banned
If we didn't know the earth was a sphere and orbited the sun
There wouldn't be any satellites right now
Space is useless
no, he was guilty of research
Satellites are bad
Are you retarded
He wasn’t charged with saying the world goes around the sun
the church is guilty of suppressing knowledge
Have you ever used GPS
Or satellite radio
That doesn't make it good
It is good for improving the human condition
When has the church suppressed knowledge, maybe a monetary was like gtfo out retard and was wrong
This just solidified my belief that people who use Galileo as a talking point really have no idea what happened.
But I see no infallible decisions regarding it
The human condition was better before he Industrial Revolution
ok what do you think happened lmfao
Galileo was not in trouble for saying the earth goes around the sun, Copernicus did so before him and he was a personal friend of the Pope.
The Church suppressed knowledge from the fall of rome till the renaissance
Systematically
