Galileo "Science vs. God"

Galileo, was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. I recently viewed a documentary outlining some major events in Galileo's life and noticed some interesting details pertaining to science vs. God.

Galileo was not out to disprove the word of God or the existence of God through science (which means "The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.") but rather utilizing the gifts that God endowed him to discover the errors in history like the Sun rotated around the earth. Now this maybe a grain of rice to some people but to the church officials during that era it was considered a dangerous heresy.

One might say why do you say that, well for instance the story of Joshua (funny because before going to Church I watched this documentary and during service my Pastor mentioned this story...LOL) commanding the Sun to stand still (Joshua 10:12) and Hezekiah with the Sun going backwards (2Kings 20:9-11) would claim that the scripture would be lying. I wouldn't say lying but sheer misinterpretation that's all.

We now know that Galileo was right in stating that the Earth rotates around the Sun but what we fail to realize is Galileo's passion for God. Yes he drank to much and was a bit arrogant and not to mention a man with 3 illegitimate children but he who is with out sin cast the first brick.

Minds like this during his time were threatened with death by fire and other forms of torture leading to death. Today isn't quite the same with all of the torture and stuff but what does happen to clear Spirit Lead thinkers is alienation.

I believe that God is always speaking and revealing things to those who are busy about the "Kingdoms Business" and not their own. Lets make one thing very clear, I believe in science but I do not believe in science that discredits God.

Science was granted to us for the understanding of the world we live in and not to understand the One who created it. ( though you can learn a lot about a creator by studying their creation)

God gave us these eyes to observe things and this brain to understand what we observe. This is why non Spirit Lead intellectuals always run into a snag because they are trying to make sense of something infinite through something that is finite (NOT SMART).

I pray that one day we all can be at peace with one another and eradicate all indifference's but I guess at the rate we are going the only hope is in the day of the great return of our Lord and Savior.

Always in Love,
