Real Scientists 2

This is a series of Christian creation scientists quotes taken from
history.

Nicholas of Cusa (1401- 1264)

He studied infinity in an attempt to understand God. In his studies
of what he considered the infinitely large (the heavens) he was the
first to postulate that the earth rotates on its axis and revolves
around the sun. He made significant contributions to the mathematics
of the infinitesimal, and many of his proposals regarding the
infinitely large inspired the modern theory of relativity.

Cusa wrote:

"The fabric of the world will have its center everywhere and
circumference nowhere, because the circumference and the center are
God who is everywhere and nowhere."

Here is a real scientist and a Christian who understood that all the
earth, and universe were here by the Word of God and not some phony
superstitious religion called evolution which was being practiced by
the Druids, magicians. and pagans around him.

He lived his life backwards?

Wow! another RC scientist. Meanwhile, the small minded, ignorant,
bigoted OP STILL can't prove that evolution is a phony superstitious
religion. Added to which it is quite hilarious that he thinks that
the Druids, magicians. and pagans around his latest hero were
practicing evolution - what an absolute pig ignorant idea to barf
up.
Of course, someone so thick that he can't write two dates in the right
order deserves ridicule in spades.

Actually, the Greek pagan philosopher Aristarchus (310-230 BC)
proposed the idea that the Earth orbits the sun over sixteen centuries
earlier. However, neither Aristarchus nor Nicholas were strictly
speaking scientists: neither performed experiments or observations to
test their ideas. Without research and testing, lucky guesses do not
constitute science (indeed, without research or testing, there's no
way to tell that they're lucky). I mean no disrespect to Nicholas of
Cusa who, as Wombat points out, was a major Roman Catholic theologian.

Note that Cusa here seems to be explaining that the Earth is a sphere
(again, the ancient Greeks had known about this from the fifth century
BC, and the Church had accepted it since the fourth century AD at the
latest) on the grounds that grounds that God,.being spirit, does not
have a specific spatial location. This seems to be something of a
stretch philosophically and theologically, and certainly isn't a
scientific explanation.

That Christian philosophers prior to the 18th century (indeed, in the
vast majority of cases, before the late 19th century) were
creationists is not something you need to prove. On the other hand,
it would be interesting to see you offer any references or evidence
for the idea that "druids, magicians and pagans" in ancient, medieval,
or early modern times, accepted the ideas of common descent with
modification. I think you are mistaken on that point. And you might
wish to provide some reason why the failure of medieval Christian
scholars to accept evolution counts more against evolutionary theory
than, say, their refusal to accept atomic theory counts against the
existence of atoms.
