ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

Alex O'Connor asked "What then subsequently happened to Galileo?" The speaker did not answer the question. The answer is that, Galileo was placed under house arrest by the Roman Catholic Church in the early 17th century because of his support for the heliocentric model of the solar system, which posited that the Earth orbited the sun-a view that contradicted the geocentric model endorsed by the Church. In 1616, the Roman Catholic Church issued a decree stating that heliocentrism was formally heretical, as it seemed to contradict certain biblical passages. Galileo continued to advocate for the heliocentric model, and in 1632, he published his book "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems," which defended the Copernican heliocentric model. Galileo's support for heliocentrism led to his trial by the Roman Catholic Inquisition in 1633. He was found guilty of heresy, forced to recant his views, and sentenced to house arrest for the remainder of his life. This is basic History...

This is true, but please recall that Galileo was invited by the pope himself to write that book, specifically in order to summarize the arguments of both the heliocentric model (as proposed by Keppler) and the - until then universally accepted - geocentric model (Aristotle, Ptolemy). Galileo wrote a dialogue in which three characters, including one named Simplicio (Simpleton, haha), have a discussion of these arguments. Siplicio represents the Ptolemaic model. The simpleton character then posits the pope's favorite argument: that perhaps everything is yet much more complicated than we seem to think we understand. This was not a smart move, and is in fact in line with Galileo's tendency to think everyone but himself an idiot, including even the pope that invited him to write this book. Of course, we now know he was right, but that was not clear at all at the time, and he was not very diplomatic in using this invitation from the Church to clarify his arguments. The fact that the church invited him still, shows clearly that the church was in fact a sponsor of science in many occasions (this often depended on how scientifically minded the pope at the time was). Should he have been put under house arrest? (which was rather more like village-arrest), perhaps not. But the story of Galileo is not a good argument for the Church as an enemy of science, there much better cases to make that point. Personally I think the history of the Church betrays a deep interest in science and consensus since its beginning. After all, this is about knowledge for eternity. Anyway, I highly recommend everyone to read "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems", it is a brilliant and hilarious book, even today.

WTF Biblical passages?! They would've known, so they certainly would've invoked them. Many, many spiritisms/beliefs/"religions" worship "gaia" et al...NOT Judeo Christianity. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of their religion enshrines the earth or universe as divine/unquestioned. Bubonic plague was spread by fleas from rats...a few cats would've helped. But superstitions eschewed cats. The fulcrum chairs used to "weigh" witches are on display today in Europe... "Samuel" invoked a witch/seer, somehow for 2,900 years and "the Church" considered them a non-extant superstition. UNTIL Holland took up their murders to address "the Little Ice-Age" horrors. In the U.S. witches were tried by Harvard trained judges...NOT the Vatican---EVER! The Vatican utilized what "science" was available to them to stamp down very harmful and prolific "SUPERSTITIONS". "this is basic history" The following is from the greatest scientist to ever live, identifying this universe as the only one compatible with the Abrahamic God..OUT OF INFINITE UNIVERSES! GREAT GUESS MOSES!!! history.aip.org/exhibits/einstein/essay-einsteins-third-paradise.htm

That's the basic History for you, who learnt it biasedly, in a world that rejected the idea of God and holds on to the idea of Galileo as a martyr of science, when he was just an arrogant and jocular being, as @Victor tells us on his answer.

Didn't offer a compelling argument, The few scientists he quoted Darwin etc had to claim to be Christian to be able to study in the first place ,you had to be Christian to study at University. The whole argument supporting religion is ridiculous to be Frank, don't know why we entertain it .

@leroyonuoha I think you mean the complete opposite, the arogence that religious cults is unbelievable ,just as their belief is unbelievable .Based on nothing but nonsense, unverified accounts ,parables and legend that has caused nothing but harm in the world, double standards, hatred and abuse.

one day science and religion will be on the same page, but till that time, they will swing for validation and only when every person knows THEMSELVES DEEPLY and THOUROGHLY will the debates end: I wrote about the way it happens below when the BLOOD of consciousness (ANOINTING) rises in us all to reveal the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth:

@yvonnegordon1952 5 месяцев назад

everything in the Bible is a metaphor and parable about us, even Hashem, HaSatan, Aaron (light bearer/MENORAH/SOUL) and Jesus (THE ANOINTNIG that LIGHTS THE MENORAH: So before David (the good and deep ground of our heart) can give birth to Messiah (the anointing) the RECEIVER (Aaron/PRIESTHOOD) must be seen as righteous enough to receive the ANOINTING: What makes the priesthood (Aaron) righteous? The Spirit of ELIJAH (which is the DESIRE FOR MESSIAH). The ego is beheaded (John the Baptist from Aaron) is made righteous by the same HOLY SPIRIT that impregnates David's soul (Mary/rebel) because the heart is a rebel till it gives birth to the anointing: Jesus said none born to woman (Israel, the heart is the woman) is greater than John, but he that has ENTERED the Kingdom, is greater than he. WHY? Because he not only gets rid of his ego (beheaded) but he has received the NEW HEAD of HASHEM revealed in the anointing. Zechariah (remembered of Yah, hence remember me for GOOD) and Elizabeth (daughter of seven/seven candlesticks/SOUL of Israel) are seen as righteous when they bring ELIJAH into the world, known as John (blessed of YAH) the Baptist) who takes ISRAEL DOWN into the Jordan to die to their old identity (old man or FIRST ADAM) and rise as the NEW and LAST ADAM who is able to BEHOLD THE LAMB of God that takes away the SIN of the world: Jesus is a NAME for the anointing when the anointing goes through the heart, making the heart MAN, hence the full stature of the INNER MAN of the heart. Jesus is always born through the heart and is not a person but the LAST COLLECTIVE ADAM when ALL ADAM is resurrected again. ONLY THE ANOINTING gives anyone a RESURRECTION from the dead: Without the ANOINTING, there has to be reincarnation, hence ISRAEL IN EXILE: Jesus is the SON OF ELYOWN (ALA) the God of Abraham and his priest Melchizedek who later becomes the God of MOSES who knows him as YHVH: ALL Abrahamic religions are deceived and here is why: THEY DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT and this includes Christianity: Jesus is NOT a Jew but the King of the Jews, and King of Israel through the tribe of Judah, house of David. The MOST HIGH GOD (ELYOWN) and his priest Melchizedek whose ORDER David is after, brings God to and THROUGH the heart of Israel making it a JEW (circumcision of the heart is a Jew and apart from that circumcision (Abrahamic covenant) there is NO TRUE JEW, just a GENETIC Jew which is not any different than a genetic gentile. The first Jew Abraham was MADE A JEW by the ONE who said, "Abraham saw MY DAY and was glad" (GEN 15): Jesus is not a person but the ANOINTING in any person which is how a Jew is made, the ANOINTING must go through his heart (Abraham's covenant, circumcising it, Dan 9, Mathew 24, to rid if ot the abomination that causes all desolations in the earth) and without this circumcision, there are just people who BELIEVE in a God they don't really KNOW: Jews and Christians don't understand the BIBLE because they don't have the HOLY SPIRIT YET: once Adam is all resurrected (the many/LEGION) becomes ONE AGAIN to be in Hashem's IMAGE AND LIKENESS, there will be no more GREEK or JEW or religion because NO MAN SHALL SAY "KNOW GOD" for all shall know me from the least to the greatest: THE GLORY of HASHEM shall FILL the earth (your brain) as the waters cover the sea (your subconscious):
