Cristiano Banti's 1857 painting Galileo facing the Roman Inquisition

Western Christian biblical references "Psalm 93:1", "Psalm 96:10", and "1 Chronicles 16:30" include text stating that "the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved." In the same tradition, "Psalm 104:5" says, "[the LORD] set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." Further, "Ecclesiastes 1:5" states that "And the sun rises and sets and returns to its place, etc."[52]

Galileo defended heliocentrism, and claimed it was not contrary to those Scripture passages. He took Augustine's position on Scripture: not to take every passage literally, particularly when the scripture in question is a book of poetry and songs, not a book of instructions or history. The writers of the Scripture wrote from the perspective of the terrestrial world, and from that vantage point the sun does rise and set. In fact, it is the earth's rotation which gives the impression of the sun in motion across the sky.

By 1616 the attacks on Galileo had reached a head, and he went to Rome to try to persuade the Church authorities not to ban his ideas. In the end, Cardinal Bellarmine, acting on directives from the Inquisition, delivered him an order not to "hold or defend" the idea that the Earth moves and the Sun stands still at the centre. The decree did not prevent Galileo from discussing heliocentrism hypothetically. For the next several years Galileo stayed well away from the controversy. He revived his project of writing a book on the subject, encouraged by the election of Cardinal Barberini as Pope Urban VIII in 1623. Barberini was a friend and admirer of Galileo, and had opposed the condemnation of Galileo in 1616. The book, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, was published in 1632, with formal authorization from the Inquisition and papal permission.

Pope Urban VIII personally asked Galileo to give arguments for and against heliocentrism in the book, and to be careful not to advocate heliocentrism. He made another request, that his own views on the matter be included in Galileo's book. Only the latter of those requests was fulfilled by Galileo. Whether unknowingly or deliberate, Simplicius, the defender of the Aristotelian Geocentric view in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, was often caught in his own errors and sometimes came across as a fool. This fact made Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems appear as an advocacy book; an attack on Aristotelian geocentrism and defense of the Copernican theory. To add insult to injury, Galileo put the words of Pope Urban VIII into the mouth of Simplicius. Most historians agree Galileo did not act out of malice and felt blindsided by the reaction to his book. However, the Pope did not take the public ridicule lightly, nor the blatant bias. Galileo had alienated one of his biggest and most powerful supporters, the Pope, and was called to Rome to defend his writings.

Answer 3

The "belief of Catholics"?

There is nothing in Catholic teaching which requires us to believe that the earth is the center of the universe, or even of the solar system.

By the way, Galileo believed that the sun was the center of the universe -- a theory which we now know is not true.

This was part of his heliocentric theory of the universe -- the theory that a lot of people criticize the Catholic Church for rejecting.

Yet if the Church had accepted Galileo's theory in its entirety, it would have been accepting a theory that was wrong.

..

Answer 4

The Cathoic Church has in the last 15 year receinded their excommunication of Galileo, and admitted that centuries of emprical evidence had refuted their original stance.

The Catholic Church now acknowledges a heliocentric solar system, and goes so far as to admit that we are an "unimportant" star in an "unremarkable" arm of the galaxy.

Answer 5

Psst... hate to tell you this, heliocentrism is out. Einstein's relativity theory proved that ANY reference frame (point) can be defined as the center of the universe. That INCLUDES the center of the earth.

Modern Physics... gotta know it.

Edit: Stephen Hawking never said any such thing because he would know that such a statement would be dreadfully wrong. It's basic physics, Heliocentrism made it farther than Geocentrism because it involved less micro-orbitals in charting. Other than the simplicity of math explanation, the selection of the center point of the universe is entirely 100% arbitrary. You can argue that all you like, but it's a fact.

Answer 6

You left out creation, the flood, the parting of the Red Sea, the talking donkey, etc.

If you are searching for the truth, consider this approach:

You cannot say, "the bible is 100% accurate, therefore I believe in God." Nor can you say, "The bible has a perceived mistake, therefore I don't believe in God."

Rather, you say, "I choose to believe in God, therefore the bible is 100% accurate." If God is God, he can make a donkey talk...heck, he made the donkey to begin with.

If you choose not to believe in God, then the bible is irrelevant and doesn't pertain to you.

EDIT: with regard to the science, the earth and sun rotate around their center of gravity...since the sun is much, much larger, it appears that the earth rotates around the sun, and it is right to make such a claim.

With regard to the bible reference (no verse, by the way), taking a man's point of view, with his/her feet planted firmly on the ground, the sun "appears" to rotate around the earth... right? The horizon is still, and the sun rises and sets each day. If one appends to the beginning of that sentence, "from my point of view..." the sentence is correctly stated.

At the end of the day, do you believe in God or not? That is the question!

Answer 7

All christians above are seriously misinformed about bible.

Bible talks about sun standing still for one day.

Bible is BS.

And what about unicorns?

Genesis 3:32.

Answer 8

Didn't humans write the bible

Answer 9

who told u god wrote bible!!!!!1

Answer 10

It never said that in the Bible. That belief was held by the Cathlic Church for many years, but it isn't in the Bible.


And Hawking also believed in UFOs.
