I am listening to book on tape about how Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was persecuted by the Catholic church for defending Copernicus and the idea that the earth revolves around the sun (heliocentrism).
The church relied on Biblical references to Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, and 1 Chronicles 16:30, which include text stating that “the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved.” Psalm 104:5 says, “the Lord set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.” Ecclesiastes 1:5 states that “And the sun rises and sets and returns to its place.”
Why is it then, that those who reject the big bang theory and evolution, don’t also reject the anti-bible theory of heliocentrism?
