Stephen Hawking knows the Church believed the earth is FLAT
« on: October 11, 2017, 09:19:05 AM »
Stephen Hawking knows the truth: the Church always believed the earth to be flat.
.
From his book, The Grand Design:

Quote
Copernicus, like Aristarchus some seventeen centuries earlier, described a world in which the sun was at rest and the planets revolved around it in circular orbits. Though the idea wasn't new, its revival was met with passionate resistance. The Copernican model was held to contradict the Bible, which was interpreted as saying that the planets moved around the earth, even though the Bible never clearly stated that. In fact, at the time the Bible was written, people believed the earth was flat.

Thanks, for showing us again how you wouldn't know about either scholastic principle or authority once again.

Nice cherries though, very juicy.

Hawking asserted gravity in lieu of God, among other "gems" BTW.

Even if Stephen Hawking is a source we all agree is worthy of citing, he doesn't say the CHURCH has always believed the Earth was flat. He makes a generalized statement about the "people" living during the writing of the Bible. How you can take this as him saying that the Church always believed the E was F is weird on your part.
"... weird..."
That's a kind way to put it.

The Church, along with the majority of Catholic tradition, the majority of saints who mention it, as well as scripture, have always promoted and defended geocentric flat earth.  History, Church teachings, quotes and writings prove it over and over again.  Math and science also prove people and water do not stick to a spinning ball.  If you have other proof, please provide it.  Otherwise, save your disses.  Saying that it is impossible because you think it works a different way is not proof.  You need a non-pagan source of some sort, or your arguments are moot.
