However,he was nonetheless still wrong, according to this wingnuttian bunch. Galileo stood trial for his science, risking imprisonment or worse. I wonder if these pinheads would have that anywhere close to that sort of courage in their geocentric conviction? Side note: The eponymous Book of Mormon prophet wrote of heliocentricism around 4 A.D. While the rest of the world sees that as wildly anachronistic, and more consistent with a mid-19th century fairy tale, LDS apologists apparently cling to the theory that the prophet Mormon was, shall we say, way ahead of his time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
