Sure, and I did go back and check and I did write it. Somehow went

I called him, "asshole"...



You sent him an email calling him an asshole?

Ahh, the inhabitants of rec.boats.



It doesn't take a PhD in Psychiatry or Psychotherapy to recognized that
sometimes Scott seems to be a prime candidate for anger management
therapy with maybe a couple of sessions focused on paranoia. He seems
to think everyone is out to get him and he has to fight back and call
you an asshole or something.


You are a self serving hero.... Now you are a professional shrink too...

Oh, well, then I guess you are discounting the trials and tribulations
of one Galileo Galilei. He was an advocate of heliocentrism (Earth and
planets revolve around a relatively stationary Sun at the center of the
Solar System) and was investigated for it by an inquisition, which said
he was wrong and heliocentrism was contrary to the bible. He was
forbidden from lecturing that the earth was *not* the center of the
solar system, and later he was forced under pain of death to recant his
teachings. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

So, if you go from your starting point (ancient Egyptians) to Galileo,
that would be thousands of years, and that there are still people who
believe the earth is still the center of the solar system is without
question a testament to the thousands of years of religious
misinformation.

After he died, Galileo, one of the greatest thinkers of mankind, was
denied an honored resting place because of religious ignorance.



Then there are some who believe *they* are the center of the universe.

Dick took a shot based on a conversation about ammo we had last year.
But I am sure you all will run with that anyway... Listen John. Here's
the way I see it.. You know about some stuff, pretty good guy, but not
really mechanical, harry, here cause he has a nasty inferior complex and
needs to feel like he's beating folks up, dick the same, but doesn't
have to lie cause he has plenty to flash around... the rest I am not
getting into but the fact is, there is just nothing here for me anymore
and even though I tried for 4 months to not be "that guy" anymore, it's
obvious "that guy" is all you poor suckers are here for... Later....

Go back several weeks and you'll find I posted the NRA article and also said something about it not
being a conspiracy. You weren't the only one talking about a government conspiracy.

You're right. I'm not the most mechanical guy in the world. But, I've replaced the clutch in an
MGB-GT, all by my lonesome. And my bike, witch I've had for 23 years, has never been in the shop.

So, I get along OK. Of course, I'm not afraid to ask for help when in doubt either.

planets revolve around a relatively stationary Sun at the center of the

Solar System) and was investigated for it by an inquisition, which said

he was wrong and heliocentrism was contrary to the bible. He was

forbidden from lecturing that the earth was *not* the center of the

solar system, and later he was forced under pain of death to recant his

teachings. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.



So, if you go from your starting point (ancient Egyptians) to Galileo,

that would be thousands of years, and that there are still people who

believe the earth is still the center of the solar system is without

question a testament to the thousands of years of religious misinformation.



After he died, Galileo, one of the greatest thinkers of mankind, was

denied an honored resting place because of religious ignorance.


You also should have included Sir Issac Newton, but he and Galileo didn't live 'thousands' of years ago.

The point, which seems lost here, is that the belief that the sun
revolves around the earth is an ancient religious belief that was
carried forward by more modern religions, and that the people who still
believe it do so out of ignorance and religious belief and superstition.
And what is superstition if not the belief in supernatural causes or in
trying to explain the natural world in religious terms, such as taking
literally "biblical" history that claims to indicate the age of this
planet.

I am not sure of any wide spread religious belief that the earth is at
the center of the solar system.
I think you are just calling out the wide spread ignorance that is
coming out of our school system.

They may have heard something about astronomy in elementary or middle
school but they quickly forgot it.



You think such foolishness springs *spontaneously* from the minds of the
badly educated? I don't. I think it is taught...at home and among those
with fundamentalist beliefs.

What's harder to believe:

1. An uncreated god takes on human flesh.

2. A piece of bread transmogrifies into that same flesh.

3. The sun orbits the earth.

How ancient do you want to claim, Harry? The Chinese didn't believe it, neither did the Ancient Egyptians, Jews, Romans, Greeks or Assyrians?

You're making a claim of 'thousands of years of religious ignorance" thought this, not them...

They may have heard something about astronomy in elementary or middle

You think such foolishness springs *spontaneously* from the minds of the

What's harder to believe:



1. An uncreated god takes on human flesh.



2. A piece of bread transmogrifies into that same flesh.



3. The sun orbits the earth.



You're swaying wwwwaaaayyyy off your original post, Harry. What'd you say about 'losing the point?

The ancient Greeks certainly believed in geocentrism. Ptolemy, Plato and
Aristotle believed in it. So did the Muslim astronomers who came later.

Here's an interesting quote from Wiki:

The Ptolemaic model of the solar system held sway into the early modern
age; from the late 16th century onward it was gradually replaced as the
consensus description by the heliocentric model. Geocentrism as a
separate religious belief, however, never completely died out. In the
United States between 1870 and 1920, for example, various members of the
Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod published articles disparaging
Copernican astronomy, and geocentrism was widely taught within the synod
during that period.[37] However, in the 1902 Theological Quarterly, A.
L. Graebner claimed that the synod had no doctrinal position on
geocentrism, heliocentrism, or any scientific model, unless it were to
contradict Scripture. He stated that any possible declarations of
geocentrists within the synod did not set the position of the church
body as a whole.[38][not in citation given]

Articles arguing that geocentrism was the biblical perspective appeared
in some early creation science newsletters associated with the Creation
Research Society pointing to some passages in the Bible, which, when
taken literally, indicate that the daily apparent motions of the Sun and
the Moon are due to their actual motions around the Earth rather than
due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis for example, Joshua
10:12 where the Sun and Moon are said to stop in the sky, and Psalms
93:1 where the world is described as immobile.[39] Contemporary
advocates for such religious beliefs include Robert Sungenis (president
of Bellarmine Theological Forum and author of the 2006 book Galileo Was
Wrong).[40] These people subscribe to the view that a plain reading of
the Bible contains an accurate account of the manner in which the
universe was created and requires a geocentric worldview. Most
contemporary creationist organizations reject such perspectives.[n 12]

After all, Copernicanism was the first major victory of science
over religion, so it's inevitable that some folks would think that
everything that's wrong with the world began there. (Steven Dutch of the
University of Wisconsin–Madison [42]

Morris Berman quotes survey results that show currently some 20% of the
U.S. population believe that the sun goes around the Earth
(geocentricism) rather than the Earth goes around the sun
(heliocentricism), while a further 9% claimed not to know.[43] Polls
conducted by Gallup in the 1990s found that 16% of Germans, 18% of
Americans and 19% of Britons hold that the Sun revolves around the
Earth.[44] A study conducted in 2005 by Jon D. Miller of Northwestern
University, an expert in the public understanding of science and
technology,[45] found that about 20%, or one in five, of American adults
believe that the Sun orbits the Earth.[46] According to 2011 VTSIOM
poll, 32% of Russians believe that the Sun orbits the Earth.[47]

As I stated, geocentrism is part of religious beliefs.

Your attempts to deny the outright superstition that underpins religious
beliefs are laughable. How many millions of self-described Christians
believe in creationism and believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old?

Now are you saying that this is A religious believe that is still being taught, or a misguided truth held by a few scientific skeptics? BTW, Some people still believe the earth is flat too. religious and non religious alike.

Tim, I don't keep track of religious beliefs beyond the ordinary
superstitions. I hope geocentrism isn't still being taught but, hey,
creationism is still being taught, and so is the idea that the earth is
less than 10,000 years old. Religious bull****. Now, if you want to
posit that there is a creator, I won't argue against that concept. I
don't believe it but I just don't know and never will. But if the
argument is about the age of the earth or is pro-creationism, well,
that's nonsense.

Harry, you come on here to make some boastful statement about the views of a select few then you want to put me on trial for my thoughts?

Wow!

By select few, are you referring to the several Greeks I mentioned,
considered for thousands of years the greatest thinkers of their era?

Tell me you are not.

I don't want to put you on trial for anything. We were talking about
superstitions that underpin religion. Well, believing in creationism and
believing the earth is less than 10,000 years old is believing in
superstition.

Thank goodness for Edwards v. Aguillard. :)
