OtemAtum: Do you know that without associating yourself with one religion or the other in those days, you could be killed for heresy by the Catholic Church and the pope. Do you know that currently in Nigeria, in the registration forms we fill, there is no space for freethinking, atheism, etc, so people have to make a choice of either Christianity or Islam, or else you can't go ahead with what you are filling. I will give you examples of trials faced by one of these scientists and how he had to resolve to associate himself with christianity to save his life.
Pivadra 18: 9-45
9. In those days, in the 16th century, galileo Galilee, a wise man of Italy, began to observe that the earth and other planets were indeed revolving around the sun. 10. Now when the church of Rome heard this, they said among themselves, this is heresy, for we know that the bible has revealed that it is the sun that moves around the earth and not the other way round. 11. Now Galilee was called and tried, saying, it is either you renounce your confession or you shall be tried with death as we have done to many like you. 12. Remember the death of Thanos, one who declared that humanity is capable of achieving whatever their minds could conceive. 13. We did not spare him for his heresies because he has glorified humans more than our god. 14. Remember also the death of Silvanus, a man who said that it is possible to view far objects as if they are closer. 15. We decapitated him after stoning him to death. 16. For it is witchcraft to think and imagine that a man is capable of making far objects appear closer. For that is exactly what you have also attempted by the telescope which you have made through witchcraft. 17. And you think that you are wiser than the great Ptolemy who saw how the sun revolves around the earth. 18. Is it not common sense for you to see that the sun truly revolves around the earth? For Joshua the great one of the bible said this in his days. 19. And only in his days did he make the sun to stand still. And if you observe the sun, you will see how it rises in the east and sets in the west daily. 20. What have you to say about this? 21. Now galilei said, you cannot know so much about things of nature through far distance observation. Therefore I have made the telescope, look through it and you shall observe the truth. 22. Now the pope and other Noble members of the Roman Catholic Church got provoked and said, you have made a device which is made to look like a bottomless pit. 23. We shall not look through it, for it will enchant and blind us. For we know your evil intention. 24. Now Galilee, if you will save your life, you should denounce your profession and come fully to Christianity and you shall be given an office. 25. Now Galilee said, to preserve my life I shall consent to your request, but let no office be giving to me in Christianity. 26. So Galilee was put in prison by the Christians without any intention of setting him free, because he told them the truth of nature. 27. Now when galilei was in prison, a letter reached him, which had been written by Kepler his friend just before his death three years before. 28. Now galilei read saying, my friend galilei, let the strength of the universe be with you. I write this letter because I do not know if I will see you physically anymore. 29. You know how I have worked as an astronomer all my lives and I have discovered the truth. I have supported Copernicus in his heliocentric theory. 30. But only one thing I have not been able to make sense of; that is the reconciliation of the Christian religion with science. 31. When I could not see how Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit could fit into our discoveries, I began to perceive them as the sun, the stellar sphere and the space in between in that order. 32. But O galilei, I think this still does not make any sense, therefore I urge you, if you will stay longer on earth, to make sure you separate science from religion. 33. For it is possible that the thing which we could call God is not found in religion at all but in science itself. 34. Therefore O galilei, no matter what you discover, do not ascribe it to a god in religion, but to an unknown universal maker. 35. For as we make discoveries of things which even the bible is ignorant of, so shall we make discoveries of what is qualified to be called God in the future. 36. Now when galilei saw the letter, he wept bitterly, for the death of Kepler had left him lonely in the past three years. 37. Now galilei wrote a letter and gave it to one of his students who came to visit him in the house which served as his prison. 38. And he had written in the letter, saying, let no astronomer and true scientists panic over what the church had made me to say. 39. For truly I was offered life if only I could recant my knowledge of the truth. And I did so, only to stay alive. 40. For only the living and not the dead can have hope. 41. I do not support Ptolemy but Copernicus, for I do not only believe it, but I also saw it through my telescope that the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way round. 44. For the Christians, being myopic, have said contrary to this truth. 45. Now galilei died nine years after he was imprisoned, for he was sick of fever and he was abandoned by the Catholic Church who imprisoned him. Good points. You should realize that man found himself here and wondered what brought him here and to find answers, he began to ascribe creation and all he could figure out to gods. This is the reason for making Sun, planets, trees, rivers etc gods and objects of worship. So many superstitions are made all over the world. Then human began to develop his mind and science was born. Not science alone, Law, Business, Administration etc. All of these also had their initial problems- breaking away from the ‘standards’ Today advancements are being made in all fronts including religion. Today, I don’t see how science has displaced religion. Many astronomers are devout Christians. About the Sun being stopped and movement of the earth round the Sun, science hasn’t claimed it didn’t happen.Galileo Galilee is unfortunately one of martyrs of science, so we have in religion. The ugly past of Christianity and state of Rome, the killings within the churc, they problems in the early development of Islam: we still have a spillover today. Yet many leading scientists are still religious. Science itself is a part of body of knowledge not all of it. I am a scientist myself, I am a believer in God because at the frontiers of scientific knowledge there are still areas of uncertainty. |

OtemAtum: in the spiritual realm, this period is when the Age of Aquarius will come to fulfillment on earth. To achieve this age, human beings on earth have to start realising that religious gods are not God Almighty, rather, God is the TOTALITY of Existence. Science at this age is supposed to be what humans set their minds upon to help them achieve all things, rather than religion. In order to achieve this, the gods of science have to encage the gods of religion, so that reincarnation of religious beings into the earth will be an almost impossible task while science oriented people can freely be reincarnated into the earth. Therefore the gods of science encaged the gods of religion such as Jehovah, Allah, Moloch, etc. Many gods of religion joined the gods of science in their quest. You understand Science can you tell me about Bible? |
