You're welcome. Galileo really has some good things to say in terms of Scripture and hermeneutics as well. He certainly had a tendency to be somewhat condescending (which really hurt his own cause many times) but there is no doubt but that he had a very clear understanding of why some of his positions were being fought and how Scripture was being misinterpreted and the power of the Church abused.Wow, this says it all
Thanks, Canuckster

Dogmatism is the comfortable intellectual framework of self-righteousness. Self-righteousness is more decadent than the worst sexual sin. ~ Dan Allender

No. Let me just ditto Canuckster's recent comments.Forum Monk wrote:sandy_mcd, your perspective is a rote endorement sans exegesis. Can you support your view from scriptural context?
Agreed wholeheartedly. I am sure most "primitive" people had a better grasp of some of these concepts than we do.Forum Monk wrote:One should not assume the ancient people were primitive in their abilities to understand time.
