The world and universe we live
in is what it is, although some folks insist on their right to believe
otherwise.
Let’s be straight here: for
example, believing that the earth was made in six days doesn’t make it so.
The reference to 1543 calls to
mind the work of Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish mathematician and astronomer of
the Renaissance who startled the Western world by publishing his evidence (De revolutionibus orbium coelestium) of
a heliocentric solar system—sun at the center, planets revolving around it. It
took a while for that to sink in.
Full disclosure: Copernicus had
nothing to say about Santa Claus.
