Science vs the church

Modern caricature of Galileo vs the church


Galileo vs the church/pope

Poor Galileo Galilei has become the poster child for the whole "small-minded church persecutes obviously correct scientist who threatens their power" thing. [Science Channel]

Galileo is in prison in his own house just because of assuming that the sun and not the earth is the center of the universe. According to the bible the earth is created first before the sun, so it appears to be the earth and not the sun is the center of the universe.

When Galileo invented the first telescope he discover a strong proof in the heliocentrism (sun center), because of the strong proof in heliocentrism, the pope in that time accuse Galileo to house arrest.

Copernicus vs the church

Before Galileo.Nicolaus Copernicus begun to make astronomy as a hobby, and he built a mini- observatory in their monastery. In that monastery he again prove the heliocentrism using trigonometry. But the consequences is too fast, the church began to consider him HERETIC.

Darwin against the creationism

According to the bible, God created us the way God look-like, but it has no proof.

If the bible has no proof, Charles Darwin has! Charles Darwin is a naturalist that study the life in the Galapagos island including finches. He use some specimens he collect from the island to prove and think about evolution. His Natural Selection was published in his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection by the help of Alfred R. Wallace.

The church should be happy that our brightest figures-- the scientists are appreciating God's creation.
