In a college religion class, a speaker of Amharic and Hebrew noted that his version of Genesis had humans “made stewards of the land.” The translation in the Kings James draft giving humans “dominion over the land” is a translation choice at the root of all of this. 35 years later, I still recall this conversation.

Judging that certain effects should be avoided or prevented, is not a scientific as much as an ethical insight.

no joke, that shit happened

'The Free Press reported on April 6 that Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who acted as a Holy See ambassador to the U.S. until March, met with Pentagon officials in January. The Free Press reported, citing unnamed Vatican officials, that the meeting was "a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants — and that the Church had better take its side."'

Also, Galileo might have gotten away with his book, if he hadn't put the literal Pope's literal arguments in favor of geocentrism into the mouth of a character literally called "idiot". That whole kerfuffle was just as much about Galileo as a person as about his science.

(Also Giordano Bruno was not burned at the stake only because of his astronomy but also for denying the virgin birth and that Jesus was indeed the Messiah)

But they quickly adapted. Like it or not we have to recognize that the Catholic Church - today - is miles away from Evangelic scientific obscurantism. You have Vatican theologians with Phd in Astronomy that don't put aside the idea of Big-Bang and a Universe harboring many intelligent life forms. A little different from tv preachers that say dinosaurs fossils were inserted in rocks by the devil to foul humanity.

remember the Sun King? EU monarchical politics postponed the issue of Galileo due to how monarchs were claiming how THEY controlled the universe.

not a coincidence Pope Leo XIII was elected just as the Hapsburg monarchies were collapsing and the idea of divine rule was killed with a shot to the head.

the Galileo issue was always political.

Jesuits, like the former Pope Francis, believe that science and rationality are important for Humanity. The Vatican conciliates modern theories of Physics/Biology with the Scriptures. Is very difficult to find a young priest that don't believe in dinosaurs and I never meet a catholic craving for a nuclear war to be raptured!
