\nI see that on this day in 1616 the Roman church banned Nicolaus Copernicus\u2019 De revolutionibus orbium coelestium<\/a>. To be fair, Martin Luther hadn\u2019t been particularly appreciative, either. Copernicus had dedicated the book to Pope Paul III, but, as noted, that didn\u2019t help. Also, to be fair, if such is the right term, in 1758, Pope Benedict XIV had the book removed from the Index of Forbidden Books. It didn\u2019t even take a century and a half to correct course on this\u2026<\/p>\n

Ah\u2026 Religion and Science\u2026<\/p>\n

I have to admit I don\u2019t see why they have to be seen as oil and water\u2026<\/p>\n

But, it sure seems to work that way on occasion\u2026<\/p>\n

Too bad, because each eye offers something toward a binocular vision that takes us ever deeper into reality, and to understanding our true home.<\/p>\n
