They don't read anything that proves them wrong Midgie. Just look how many proofs I posted in the last few days that clearly proves the Church is not against science. They don't care BECAUSE THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!


Had2, I realize that this will be a doubtful proposition, but it's worth a shot. Are you familiar with a Strawman Argument? That is what you have constructed. I did not, at any time, state that the Catholic Church rejects science. I did state that Christianity is at odds with science more than any other religion, which was explained in a subsequent post. Further, I stated that the Catholic Church has had "bumps" with science, which need no elucidation. Although the entertaining video which you posted attempts a bit of revisionist history, the easiest incident of the Catholic Church at odds with science is Galileo. He was, in fact, forced to recant and died under house arrest. I do not expect you to take as fact the overwhelming evidence for this event over Catholic Propaganda. As I have repeatedly stated, I am not interested in changing the minds of anyone here. While I do not agree with your beliefs, I respect that you possess them. I am interested in dialogue and conversation about those beliefs. In the course of attempted dialogue, you have constructed an assertion which I did not make, and provided what you consider to be evidence to refute a position which no one occupies. You have, essentially, triumphed against yourself. Also in the course of attempted dialogue, you have shown limited comprehension for what has been written. Whether that is due to choice or a lack of ability, the result is the same. As I am still interested in learning about the Catholic faith, in belief and practice, I will continue to ask questions. I will also watch your video, as I said I would. Perhaps, and this is a long shot, you will possess the maturity to understand that, although I do not believe as you, I am not interested in arguing you "out of faith."
