“The reality is that while heliocentrism was discussed and often accepted within Catholic circles - it was effectively the only place where it could be - the more traditional view of the solar system still prevailed even among leading scientists. So it's hardly surprising that Galileo's Catholic judges had difficult accepting his views, especially when they saw themselves as defending scientific orthodoxy and were supported in this by the scientific establishment.” StillsRealityDifficultViewsAcceptingSawsJudgingScientistCatholicAcceptedCirclesTraditionalEstablishmentSurprisingOrthodoxySolar System Author:Michael Coren

“When the Forbidden Fruit was handed to Adam and Eve, they were allowed the moral choice to accept or decline. I know people who have refused to feast on the money tree. They live simply, within their means, and seem far more content than those who are trying to horde their wealth while clinging to the ladder of 'success,' terrified to let go. That isn't real living. The Puritans rightly saw that as covetousness.” PeopleKnowsTryingMeanRealSeemsChoicesWealthAcceptingMoralSawsTreeLetting GoFruitAdamDeclineTerrifiedForbiddenLaddersClingingPuritanAdam And EveCovetousnessHordeLadder Of SuccessForbidden FruitLive SimplyMoral Choices Author:Cal Thomas
“The only points in which I differ from all ecclesiastical teaching is that I do not believe that any man ever saw or talked with God, I do not believe that God inspired the Mosaic code, or told the historians what they say he did about woman, for all the religions on the face of the earth degrade her, and so long as woman accepts the position that they assign her, her emancipation is impossible.” MenBelieveLongEarthFacesAcceptingSawsImpossibleTeachingPositionInspiredCodeHistorianEmancipationDegradeMosaicsGod Inspired Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
