How many simple physics tricks would get your burned at the stake?
>How many simple physics tricks would get your burned at the stake?
All of them ask Galileo.
"Why yes, the earth revolves around the sun"
"CONTAIN HIM"
He wasn't arrested for that. The church didn't actually care about heliocentric vs geocentric. He was being ritually humiliated for criticizing the pope.
>The church didn't actually care about heliocentric vs geocentric
Is this some catholic revisionist history? Every book I've ever read on it said that shit was important.
I’ve read that Galileo specifically claimed that his discovery invalidated the Bible and the authority of the Church, and refused to recant
So like him or not that’s at least a little more rational than attacking the guy purely to silence the underlying discovery
People claimed that, but Galileo wasn't one of them.
Some points:
1) Copernicus wrote about heliocentrism like a century before Galileo and was never censured by the church.
2) It was the pope who commissioned Galileo's research to begin with.
3) Because the research paper hadn't been invented yet Galileo's book had the heliocentric and geocentric models debated by two characters. The character arguing for geocentrism was named "simpleton". The pope, who supported the geocentric model, was personally offended by this.
4) Galileo spent his house arrest living with a bishop who supported him.
5) Galileo did NOT prove heliocentrism. His model did not resolve or even account for the issue of the stellar parallax. The reason geocentrism had been the scientific consensus since the Greeks is that no one could figure out why the stars weren't moving in the sky as the earth moved from one end of its orbit to another. They were, but the shift is so small no one could prove it was happening until the 19th century. The argument against Galileo wasn't "the bible says so".
tl;dr the entire thing was about hurt feelings and 16th century Italian political cliques
Tim O'Neill has more info on his historyforatheists blog.
Anyone who calls or styles themselves an atheist, unironically, is automatically a pretentious fricking goof of an individual, and I pity them the same way I pity outward theists.
What is a god is a matter of subjection. It's the same with magic. Good fricking lord. God can exist and simultaneously be thought of as "just a sufficiently advanced extradimensional being that's a bit TOO involved in earthly matters".
These are the same sort of people that say "philosophy is dead" without realizing modern science -stems- from (natural) philosophy, and -has- a (natural) philosophy. Dumb fricks.

Agnostics are next level moronic.
Agnosic scum!
>What if I take a religious word and twist it into crazy? (good = aliens)
That is crazy.
Why are agnostics like this?
Agnostics are likewise pretentious as well as moronic. They believe in the existence/non-existence of a flying spaghetti monster! (lol)
Listen. God to the physicist is an extradimensional "godlike" being. God to the Christian is simply He, Yahweh, Jehovah, God, etc. To the Christian physicist, it is both. Perspective.
>Agnostics are likewise pretentious as well as moronic. They believe in the existence/non-existence of a flying spaghetti monster! (lol)
Exactly.
How do you worship and not worship jesus at the same time?
The same way people celebrate Christmas without actually being Christian. Religion is art. You can absolutely mold your life around a set of narratives and morals. There's a very old israeli joke about how two rabbis proved the non-existence of God, but still went to the synagogue the next morning. "What does his existence have to do with it?"
>The same way people celebrate Christmas without actually being Christian
I'm an atheist and I do not celebrate Christmas. I mean why the frick would you?
>Ah yes we must arrange lights on trees for no fricken reason!
>Also we must lie to our children that a magic man brings them presents and not us!
>And we all will exchange random presents of crap that we do not know if the other side even likes!
>So that the corporations make even more money!
>Hail consumerism!
WTF?!

Real fact most israelitesh are SCHIZOPHRENIC!

LOL great punchline. Jordon Peterson is schizophrenic however!

Watch this NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON!
I don't even like christians but this 'diagram' has always been funny to me. Historically technological 'progress' has ebbed and flowed based on a number of factors, ie a more centralized state could disperse more advanced technology across a wider range, otherwise various different places have to figure it out, and the rise of christendom coincided with the general fall of most large empires within europe. It wasn't the cause just like there's almost no single cause for any large events like the fall of rome or whatever. It's not like china had a dark age at the same time
>Roman Empire falls
>DARK AGES
>Meanwhile, a bit further east, the Byzantine Empire...
I know atheists(RATIONALISTS) who say that however Rationalists are fricken insane and rationalists also insist on the

I truly hate rationalists.
As for this picture it is stupid.
Plate armor advanced in technology during the middle ages. I also like to point out that the up axis literally has no scale and is not explaining what le technological advancement is.
The burning of the library of Alexandria is not that interesting since we can can be 100% sure over 99.999999% of the stuff there would have bean worthless superstitious trash like

>Religious texts
>Crazy philosophy
i mean now I'm like 0.1% interested to read some old shit in there however I'm 100% sure it will be worthless trash. Like this:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MFtmozvGtEA
Or anything Plato wrote...
In other words worthless trash.
>the entire thing was about hurt feelings
Yes. Now shut the frick up.
>The character arguing for geocentrism was named "simpleton". The pope, who supported the geocentric model, was personally offended by this.
Man some things really don't change.
Why are you defending the Church's butthurt by overcomplicating things?
>why are you providing context??
>why isn't it as simple as it is in my head???
>you're overcomplicating things! just blunder through life patently misunderstanding events!
The Tl:dr of it was
>The Church held hearings on heliocentrism vs geocentrism
>At the end of said hearings the Pope went, "Huh, well, you've disproven geocenterism, but your heliocentric model has hiccups though, so we can't accept it as fact, but maybe with more funding and research...."
>Galileo quickly writes a book involving a brilliant, handsome astronomer nonstop bashing an ugly, stupid Pope named Sempliciotto (Italian for Simpleton) for not immediately taking said astronomer's heliocentric ideas as fact
>Pope went "....Alright, house arrest it is, we'll still fund you if you want to do research though"
>Responding to mounting controversy over theology, astronomy and philosophy, the Roman Inquisition tried Galileo in 1633, found him "vehemently suspect of heresy", and sentenced him to house arrest where he remained until his death in 1642.
Okay. He was arrested for saying it like a dick. There, happy? You can be an butthole and -still- be correct.
Fricking prick.
That's Islam.
I'm surprised how often Islamic history in Afghanistan is projected onto Europe. You probably don't know muslims burned libraries for their refusal to remove books they didn't like.
You fell for Hollywood hook, line, and sinker.
Cap this.
Probably none. Most of them were discovered by members of the Church and mass-printed once the printing press got cheap anyways.
He didn't die at the stake although?
ask Giordano Bruno.
>He didn't die at the stake although?
Because he recanted. They dragged him into court and he basically pled "it's only a theory, lol" "you weren't supposed to take it as true, it's just a convenient model" and "boy, I sure love Jesus" and they let him go.
Supposedly, as he was walking out of court, he muttered "still, it moves" as a last "frick you" to the authorities that had dragged him in there to humiliate him.
The story I read in college was that the Church protected him from angry students who wanted their money back.
Also he said it was only a hypothesis, not a theory. The Church treats hypothesis and theories as two different things.
Darksun.
The Dying Earth.
Scientists invent magic (basically, they discover a way to contact extra-planar entities and make deals with them, and apparently had some of them make alterations to our universe's physics) and this eventually leads to a setting where the sun is dying and may wink out like a candle at any second, and most of the people of the world live in despair or constant end-of-the-world revelries. while monsters of various long-forgotten origins haunt the strange wastelands and the ruins of great civilizations long dead.
>Scientists invent magic (basically, they discover a way to contact extra-planar entities and make deals with them,
Interesting however while listening to that thriller I did have like a idea.
What if standard sword and sorcery....
However magic is like poison for reality....
All magic....
Basically using magic creates pollution that damages reality itself and makes it more chaotic since magic is bending reality..
Basically in the end wizards use magic so hard and for so long that reality breaks...
And now we live in a magical wasteland....
Basically the world geographically makes no sense whatsoever. We are talking the sun got shattered like it is some cartoon.
The world are these floating islands who do not map to cartesian coordinates between themselves (graph or even more chaotic nonsense) and sometimes even on one island.
Like this:
The day/night are more like a permanent skybox around a map or something like that.
And the best part is that the only way to live in this world is to use magic to defend yourself.
What do you think of this world building?
Any suggestions for it?
PS: If you do not get the picture it is a reference to this

Literally quantum AIs. Are you even trying?
Why are we talking about a video game on /tg/?
I am tired of your 'isms.
Says the one shilling agnosticISM!
Yeah because he’s just like you, a massive tard who can’t compute that their limited perspective isn’t absolute.
>”I am who am”
>”says fricking who?”
>>”I am who am”
>>”says fricking who?”
Imagine being so ignorant.
Imagine dick sucking what essentially are generations of people rewriting the same story into nonsense.
You realize this story was basically rewritten so hard because long after it was written israelites decided that using the name of their god (YHWH or Jehova) was super forbidden, so they started to censor their own texts with that name.
Sure, but that hasn’t stopped christcucks from banging on about how their god has the super extra unbreakable double plus good shield of Truth and Logos and whatever other concepts they butchered from the Greeks.
