This needs a thread of it`s own, and I shall now state why I haven`t commented too much on Rick`s thread, and why I have a great dislike for the Vatican and it`s teaching`s, which is why I avoided getting caught up in other posting`s on there. I mentioned about poor old Bruno being burnt alive at the stake in Rome in 1600 for preaching the existence of other world`s and other being`s on them, and correctly teaching that the stars in the skies are other suns, and our sun is at the centre of the solar system, NOT the Earth. This is what the Polish astronomer Copernicus had worked out mathematically 200 years earlier! He too was scared to publish his finding`s till he was on his death bed, for fear of a religious backlash. Back to the Vatican, and after Bruno was burnt alive at the stake in Rome, thirty years later, the famous astronomer Galileo, inventor of the first proper telescope and discoverer of the moons around Jupiter, was put under house arrest for the rest of his life, not being burned alive because he was forced by the inquisition to recant the truth of what he`d discovered. Now, the two faced piece, and my hate for the Vatican, and religion in general.....................
