Subject: Is there a reason to debate? |
Bible Note: I admire your humility, John. This virtue is getting rarer nowadays. I do appreciate your suggestion that "it would be prudent to [accept] what those who are [scholarly in the field] of linguistics have translated..." I am really sorry I can't be prudent, for now. If I get her right, Dhaniei referred to the "geocentric theory" of the universe, a theory accepted by the whole world as true for almost 1400 years. Among the stellar minds that held on to this belief included Claudius Ptolemaeus, who published the theory and the famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle. But despite the belief of the whole world to the contrary, Copernicus proved the geocentric theory false and presented a new theory modern science uses today. Copernicus stood his ground even to the extent of being excommunicated. I don't lay any claim to being a Copernicus, far from it; it is just I found a scriptural basis for questioning what has been believed on for so long. What I need is a Biblical proof that has long evaded my own search, that would spell out the beans against the basis of my query. Isn't it also possible for the younger siblings to find the cookies their father placed on the top shelf but hidden by the older ones? |
