I appreciate that he defended the Holy Father against those who would attack him, but his disrespectful tone toward bishops that he does not agree with goads me.<br /> <br />Many times I listen to him and find that I may share his opinion, but I do not share in his delivery or his seeming disrespect for the hierarchy.Deacon David Oatneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895500028831981591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-35867632565978380362014-05-31T14:31:12.122-04:002014-05-31T14:31:12.122-04:00I hear what you are saying Father.

Just as there is a place for militant defenders of the Jewish faith. We need to stand together and not fight amongst ourselves because people of faith are under direct and unrelenting attack these days.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-50120209783578404572014-05-30T12:43:29.773-04:002014-05-30T12:43:29.773-04:00Thanks Father.

And I trust in Him...in other people, not so much!<br /><br />Growing a garden is very therapeutic. I have a couple of small (yet productive) plots in a local community garden. Gardening make me feel like I'm cooperating with God somehow. I hope to pass this feeling on to my children. :)<br /><br />By the way, community gardens, called Schrebergaerten in German, are a unique German invention. Thought you might like to know since that is your heritage! :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200221356189037181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-79241903220954322712014-05-30T11:44:57.607-04:002014-05-30T11:44:57.607-04:00If the scientist involved have integrity that it i...If the scientist involved have integrity that it is reasonable to expect them to behave in the way that you propose. However working where I do I have come across people who are not that reasonable. Certainly Mr.Sungenis, unreasonable anti-Semitic background will cause some people to reject outright anything he says. Not everyone can separate ideas from the messengers of those ideas.TerryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05643202804792947404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-54837529537748217032014-05-30T11:12:22.123-04:002014-05-30T11:12:22.123-04:00TerryC:

Because I do not believe anything like that would provoke the reactions from the scientists, especially those who participated and now are saying they were duped. No reason for the movie-makers to be cagey and then to complain about being mistreated.Fr Martin Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375628123126091747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-41642064121445377092014-05-30T09:03:46.912-04:002014-05-30T09:03:46.912-04:00The issue is more nuanced than presented (the Cope...The issue is more nuanced than presented (the Copernican issue, not the Jew issue.) The point isn't about orbital mechanics, that is about Earth revolving about the sun. It is about primacy of place, that is whether in God's creation man, and consequently Earth have a pride of place in creation.<br />From a scientific point of view, according to relativity there is no absolute framework. So we would see the same if the Earth was standing still and the rest of the universe was moving as we see if the Earth moves and the rest of the Universe stand still, or whether everything moves.<br />Sungenis, in his film, points out that if Earth (and the Solar System) are just one arbitrary spec, randomly set in the Universe then in light of the Big Bang, the Cosmic Microwave Background would be asymmetrical, with signals pointing to the direction of location of the singularity start point from which the cosmic expansion began. Except there is no such asymmetry. Instead the background appears symmetrical, something that should only happen if you happen to be at the center where the Big Bang happened. That would place the Solar System in a unique position, something secularists have denied for centuries. While going against present interpretations of the scientific community this theory does not violate any of the observable data, the big bang theory, or accepted particle physics theories. It does claim that we have a special place in the Universe that is hard to explain without invoking metaphysical theorems.<br />p.s.<br />I'm not a physicists, but I do have a degree in applied physics and work at a U.S. National LabTerryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05643202804792947404noreply@blogger.com
