penny-unless i have been mislead the idea so embraced by darwinists that galileo was a case of science vs the church is simplistic.his opposition at least initially was from other scientists.the church at first was ,i understand quite favourable to him.it was when the pope recognized the character of "simplicico" in galileos writings as mocking of himself that the trouble began.
i'm not sure what the quote from augustine proves ,but it was interesting.of course just about all the church fathers held to a YEC position and i doubt that augustine would have appreciated your use of his words.
