This message is a reply. The comment which my argument replies was given in a Coronavirus thread . This reply is valid, factual and does not break any rule of Nairaland.





Not up to Ten centuries ago when modern science was still young, Galileo Galilei, a Catholic, was standing before a criminal court which was also Ecclesiastical (christian bishops were part of the court). Skeptical Galileo had worked on his telescope , he was not lying. He saw that there were other planets and that the Earth revolved around the sun. In his time, religion was mixed with governance and not distinct from the State of Rome.

Galileo, like other scientists of his time , was at the verge of being sentenced to death for apostasy and blasphemy. The government not only beheaded scientists in that dark age, but also hung and burnt them on stake. Why was the Father of Modern Day Astronomy, the one whose foundational argument about the solar system has led to the establishment of space organizations like NASA today, risking a death sentence at a christian court?

The answer is simple. According to Joshua in the Bible when he went to war (would be termed a genocide today) he prayed to God and the "Sun stood still". The christian court argued that if Joshua in the Bible agreed that it was the "sun that stood still" then it means the sun was the moving solar body for nothing that does not move can stand still. The Christian court also argued that David in his Psalms acknowledged that God makes sun to rise from the East and set in the West. How then could a "stupid scientist" argue that the sun does not move . How could such "fool" rather the earth revolves.

There is no doubt that Galileo was a Catholic and a christian. But there is huge doubt that Christianity influenced his breakthrough in science. Christianity wanted to alter , disrupt and hinder his breakthrough. Christianity wanted him dead for apostasy and blasphemy even though he agreed to being a Christian. What do you think would happen if he outrightly said he was not one?

That's the story you do not see. When we talk about science and religion , we are not asking whether a Christian, Muslim , Buddhist or Atheist made a positive breakthrough in science. No, the procedures of science are Universal and as long as a person of any religion , race or gender follows that procedure, he will arrive at a scientific and real conclusion.
When we argue about science and religion we argue whether a telescope or a bible gave humanity initial knowledge about the status of the solar system.

When we argue about science and religion we argue whether it is a hand sanitizer (based on reason) or an anointing oil ( based on faith ) that washes away strains of the Coronavirus in our palms.

Seun, the Founder of this forum, is an atheist. My last paragraph replies yours.

Enough of this argument about the existence of God...Corona is already here, our safety should be our priority! and not the existence of a supreme being of whom you will still confirm if he exist or not when corona quickens your journey....

#As for me, I did prefer to die believing in him and finds out he doesn't exist, than to leave all my life disproving his existence and when I die, I finds out he exist.

The truth is am not sure if am his foe or fan, because I only admire his wealth but have no story on how it all started.

May God bless your union! you will celebrate your silver jubilee with a range rover in Jesus name....and if you are reading this, you will never lack the necessary finance to settle with the woman of your dreams.

E money money dey confuse his enemy...always got people asking what he does for a living

Nice victory boys! let's head to anfield

Crystal palace are like...LETS GO AND SCORE THE WINNING GOAL

Iran showed with their previous toothless attack that we overestimated what they could do.

Gather here if you think this war is over before it started.

I know Buhari has failed us as a leader, but its high time PDP accepted that, they too contributed more in the failed project called Nigeria. Until the youth wakes up and take up responsibility, there's no hope for the country.

2019 thought me that, goals are essential to live a worthwhile life, but in Nigeria, grace is everything.
#Waiting for baba God to pick my call

The day my younger brother told me that zlatan is his role model, I made sure I differentiated between a role model and a model with a cane on him that day. Absolutely nothing to learn from today's celebrity.

May we all be blessed with our own beautiful spouse and children..Amen
