JI wrote “One responder even felt it appropriate to cite that, presumably, my faith position meant that I somehow contested Galileo’s ‘fanciful notion’ that the sun didn’t orbit around the earth and, although I had stated quite clearly my views on the age of the earth”.
And what I wrote on my post #252130 on 7/1/23 was: “And to think Galileo was deemed a heretic!”
That was all!
Where in that did it say that YOU dismissed Galileo?
You are making stuff up again. I cited nothing of the sort. I’ll thank you not to put words into my mouth!
My point was that the creation story was flawed (and that’s being generous) because of the Earth centric view and the fact that anyone who questioned this was deemed a heretic.
Now despite the Reformation, the advance of science and space exploration there are still people out there who believe the Biblical version of the creation.
Don’t you find that a bit weird?
Or do Christians cherry pick which bits of the good book to believe and conveniently dismiss other sections?
