Of course. I...I totally agree with St. Augustine. Of course. I'm not saying that I agree with Geocentrism, but from my limited understanding, the case isn't closed yet. In fact, there are a lot of learned folks re-looking at the evidence. I plan to do the same when I get some time. I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that these scientists are just using scripture to back up a science they can't prove. I think it is quite the opposite. These scientists are Catholic apologists and there is discussion about the overwhelming possibilities within physics and this topic that this may be the next way of evangelism we see. Don't be so quick to dismiss. I'm at least going to hear out both sides.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537335508488121404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101520391971781800.post-91111151217843676392012-09-20T10:00:23.282-07:002012-09-20T10:00:23.282-07:00To argue that the earth is the center of the solar...To argue that the earth is the center of the solar system is, I think, an embarassment to Catholics. St. Agustine had a something to say about this sort of thing. <br /><br />39. Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking non-sense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of the faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although “they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion.”67<br />Carl Fakeleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101520391971781800.post-70655358945878006122012-09-19T11:14:12.514-07:002012-09-19T11:14:12.514-07:00Huh.. interesting....

I've heard that geocentrism has not been proven false and that there are still huge debates happening around this subject. Check out http://www.catholicintl.com/. We've been having this discussion here at the Institute and it looks like this guy has yet to be beat in a debate regarding geocentrism. He authored the book 'Why Galileo was wrong' which looks like a very interesting read.

However, once all the scientific data was in, it was proven to be false. That is why, I think, we need to ensure the scientific data is consistent with philosophical and theological speculation.

I do know however that if something is true then the philosophy, theology and science will be in unity. If not, then one or the other isn't true. I did learn in some course that there is discovered a jumping gene that can create major adaptations within a species. However, I don't know if there is conclusive evidence to prove that one species actually turns into a different species.
