| tombi123 said: yeah the Ancient Greeks knew that the world was round. 99% of religious people are fine, its just the 1% that try so hard to discredit science with their 'God did it' crap. Without religion the world would be a much more peaceful place, and we would be far more technologically advanced. Think of all the scientist in history who have been either killed or jailed for life by the church (Galileo for example). |
I love that everyone who believes in evolution acts like they are smarter then people who don't. First off Galileo wasn't killed by the church, he wrote some of his best of his scientific works right up to his natural death( at 78). They did kick him out of church, and house arrest him, which I think made him more productive scientifically, he wrote plenty of books in his house. Then I thought you meant Copernicus, being that he is another noted scientist that the church had problems with. but he died naturally at 70, and in good favor with the church might I add. In fact Science is so quick to claim men like Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton, as their forfathers, but all those men were religious, belived in God and creation, and in fact were motivated scientifically by that faith, and particualarly in Newton's case wrote more about religion then science.
