RonaldBruceMeyer.com The War on Galileo (continued) by Ronald Bruce Meyer Galileo imprisoned S o this vindictive prince embroiled the Roman Church in the greatest blunder in its history. Initially there was an attempt to ban sale of the book, but it had already been circulated across Europe. Urban then fed Galileo to the dogs of the Inquisition, along with some of his defenders. When Father Castelli pleaded on Galileo's behalf that "nothing that can be done can now hinder the earth from revolving," the Benedictine was banished in disgrace. Ricciardi, who wrote the preface to the banned book, was fired from the papal staff. The Florentine Inquisitor who approved the printing of the Dialogo was reprimanded. With his advocates and friends silenced, Galileo had to face the authorities alone. The trial documents, long suppressed by Rome, reveal that Galileo was ordered, in harsh language, to come to trial at Rome; that if he did not comply, said the Pope, he was to be "brought in chains"; that the protests of his friends and the Florentine ambassador were ignored; that once in Rome, being nearly seventy years of age, suffering from hernia, insomnia, and near-blindness from gazing at the sun through his telescope, Galileo was kept waiting for several months; and that he was several times threatened with torture. His whereabouts for 21-24 June are omitted from the documents of the episode. Scholars who have studied the documents (Favaro, Fahie) suggest that Galileo was actually in prison during that time, though the

55. PAST RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS In 1898, Andrew Dickson White (18321918), a professor and co-founder of Cornell University, wrote a rather notorious book called A History of the Warfare http://www.religioustolerance.org/past_mor.htm

RELIGIOUS CHANGE AND PAST RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. The process of change within religions: Many of the world's great religions base their beliefs upon ancient written sacred texts. For Christian denominations, this is generally the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures (the Old and New Testaments) in the Bible. Since the writings are fixed for all time, the beliefs are often considered equally unchangeable. But the historical record shows that change does occur, and that religious groups use various methods to modify their beliefs. Sometimes, the texts which support the old beliefs: Are translated into English in an obscure manner; Are simply ignored; Are reinterpreted often symbolically; Are regarded as having been valid at the era and/or the society in which they were written, but are not for guidance for people today. Every age since Galileo has had at least one public debate with a religious component. Most frequently, the conflict has been between established religious organization(s) and a secular movement which is promoting change. The latter can represent physical science, medicine, a social science, etc. Other times, the conflict is between a religion and a group attempting to obtain equal rights and protection under law. In the past, this often involved discrimination on the basis of race, or gender. Now it is sexual orientation

57. Rejection Of Pascal's Wager:The Oral Tradition The second example is a religious one, taken from Andrew Dickson White s A We let Andrew White (18321918) sum up this section on mythologization http://www.geocities.com/paulntobin/oral.html

Home Page The Central Thesis Christianity The Bible ... Links The Oral Tradition There was a period of between forty to sixty years of oral tradition before the gospels came to be written. Most Christian fundamentalists, while admitting to the existence of a period of oral transmission, claim that the time elapsed from Jesus life to the writing of the gospels was too short for any false or erroneous material to have been included. Besides, they normally add, people who knew Jesus were around during the time of the gospels publication. Had it contained false material these eye witnesses would have surely pointed it out. We will look at these two claims: Could we expect the integrity of the gospel to be "protected" by eyewitnesses? Was the elapsed period too short for mythologization to take place? The answer to both the above questions is "No". The Period of the Oral Tradition Our considerations elsewhere have given us probable dates for the composition for each of the gospel. To summarize, these dates are Mark Matthew Luke John 70-105 CE 90-110 CE 95-140 CE 90-140 CE Any attempts to be more exact by putting a single date on the composition is not warranted by the available evidence.

60. Cornell's Presidents Andrew Dickson White (18321918, President from 1866-1885) A radical idea in American education was born when Andrew Dickson White and Ezra Cornell crossed http://www.news.cornell.edu/campus/presidents.bios.html

Biographies of Cornell's Presidents Research compiled by the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections and the Cornell News Service. Andrew Dickson White (1832-1918, President from 1866-1885) A radical idea in American education was born when Andrew Dickson White and Ezra Cornell crossed paths in the New York State Senate. White was a worldly intellectual whose dream was to create a "truly great University" that would "afford an asylum for Science where truth shall be taught for truth's sake. . . ." He and Cornell, a farmer and inventor who made his fortune developing the telegraph system with Samuel F.B. Morse and Hiram Sibley, agreed the new institution would be nonsectarian, a controversial stance for the time. White and Cornell successfully politicked to obtain the benefits of the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 for their new university. On Feb. 7, 1865, White introduced into the State Senate a bill which established Cornell University as an institution for "the cultivation of the arts and sciences and of literature, and the instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts and military tactics, and in all knowledge." Gov. Reuben E. Fenton signed the bill that constitutes Cornell's charter two months later on April 27. White was largely responsible for recruiting faculty to come to the new institution, and as president, he was instrumental in the development of the university's library and its other collections by his own purchases and through encouraging the gifts of others. He traveled in Europe to purchase collections and to learn about the newest innovations in technical education.
