Towards Panbaylonism
Franz Cumont in his Astrology and Religion Among the Greeks and Romans wrote: “From astronomical speculations the Chaldeans had deduced a whole system of religious dogmas. The sun, set in the midst of the superimposed planets, regulates their harmonious movements. As its heat impels them forward, then draws them back, it is constantly influencing, according to its various aspects, the direction of their course and their action upon the earth. Fiery heart of the world (Hegemonikon of the Stoics), it vivifies the whole of this great organism, and as the stars obey its command, it reigns supreme over the universe. The radiance of its splendor illuminates the divine immensity of the heavens, but at the same time in its brilliance there is intelligence; it is the origin of all reason, and, as a tireless sower it scatters unceasingly on the world below the seeds of a harvest of souls. Our brief life is but a particular form of the universal life…This coherent and magnificent theology, founded upon the discoveries of ancient astronomy in its zenith, gradually imposed on mankind the cult of the “Invincible Sun” as the master of all nature, creator and preserver of men.” sacredword.org/.../Projects/Projects.htm The white dress of Brahmins www.brahmins.com/
Heliocentrism as expressed by Pliny in his Natural History
“Upheld by the same vapor between earth and heaven, at definite spaces apart, hang the seven stars which owing to their motion we call 'planets,' although no stars wander less than they do. In the midst of these moves the sun, whose magnitude and power are the greatest, and who is the ruler not only of the seasons and of the lands, but even of the stars themselves and of the heaven. Taking into account all that he effects, we must believe him to be the soul, or more precisely the mind, of the whole world, the supreme ruling principle and divinity of nature. He furnishes the world with light and removes darkness, he obscures and he illumines the rest of the stars, he regulates in accord with nature's precedent the changes of the seasons and the continuous re-birth of the year, he dissipates the gloom of heaven and even calms the storm-clouds of the mind of man, he lends his light to the rest of the stars also; he is glorious and pre-eminent, all-seeing and even all-hearing – this, I observe, that Homer the prince of literature held to be true in the case of the sun alone.”(2-1)
Invicta Roma was the Empire of Sol Invictus or Kosmokrator (Ruler of the Cosmos) and as such was “destined to rule the whole world” (Virgil). When Rome succumbed to Jesus it did not embrace him as a Jewish teacher but as the sun god Helios (Apollo) whose halo used to symbolize divine rank of Roman emperors. For centuries, the Roman propaganda, especially Cicero’s, proclaimed that the Jews were “a nation born to servitude,” like all other conquered “barbarians”. The same author, while popularizing the Pythagorean heliocentrism in his Dream of Scipio speaks of the sun as “the Lord, chief and ruler of the other lights, the Mind and guiding principle of the universe.” The perennial Roman heliocentrism is reflected in the pagan wheel of the year on the surface of St. Peter's Square in front of St. Peter's Church (see www.canadafirst.net/our_heritrage/solstice/).
Here is the key passage from Copernicus's The Revolutions:
“In the center of all rests the Sun. For who would place this lamp of a very beautiful temple in another or better place than this from which it can illuminate everything at the same time? As a matter of fact, not unhappily do some call it the lantern, others, the mind, and still others, the Leader of the World. Trismegistus calls it ‘visible God’; Sophocles’ Electra, ‘that which gazes upon all things.’ And so the sun, as if resting on a kingly throne, governs the family of stars which wheel around.”
In Thomas Digges's translation of The Revolutions the sun is “like the king in the middest of al who reigneth and geeveth lawes of motion to ye rest.” In this translation the sun stands for abstract Nature, or the essential inherent force formed by the assumption of a single prima cause. In the world of Prime Mover character of man is produced by “gym rooms” or “boot camps”. This was also the doctrine of the English public schools in spite of the fact that human actions are not simply bodily movements. Natural man was a child of natural philosophy according to the dogma of natural selection.
Declaration of Father Melchior Inchofer, 1631
"We say, pronounce, sentence and declare that you, Galileo, by reason of these things which have been detailed in the trial and which you have confessed already, have rendered yourself according to this Holy Office vehemently suspect of heresy, namely of having held and believed a doctrine that is false and contrary to the divine and Holy Scripture: namely that Sun is the centre of the world and does not move from east to west, and that one may hold and defend as probable an opinion after it has been declared and defined contrary to Holy Scripture. Consequently, you have incurred all the censures and penalties enjoined and promulgated by the sacred Canons and all particular and general laws against such delinquents. We are willing to absolve you from them provided that first, with a sincere heart and unfeigned faith, in our presence you abjure, curse and detest the said errors and heresies, and every other error and heresy contrary to the Catholic and Apostolic Church in the manner and form we will prescribe to you. Furthermore, so that this grievous and pernicious error and transgression of yours may not go altogether unpunished, and so that you will be more cautious in future, and an example for others to abstain from delinquencies of this sort, we order that the book Dialogue of Galileo Galilei be prohibited by public edict. We condemn you to formal imprisonment in this Holy Office at our pleasure. As a salutary penance we impose on you to recite the seven penitential psalms once a week for the next three years...”

These cardinals were “ignoramuses” said John Paul II
The Pope caped his speech, rehabilitating Galileo in 1992, with a generous tribute to Galileo the “theologian”: ‘Paradoxically, Galileo, a sincere believer, showed himself to be more perceptive in this regard than the theologians who opposed him.’ In January of 2008 Pope Benedict XVI had the astronomical observatory that has been part of Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome, for more than 75 years dismantled. Galileo had been exiled out of the Vatican.
P.K. Feyerabend commented on the Galileo affair as follows:
“The church at the time of Galileo was much more faithful to reason than Galileo himself, and also took into consideration the ethical and social consequences of Galileo's doctrine. Its verdict against Galileo was rational and just, and revisionism can be legitimized solely for motives of political opportunism.”(The Messy Relationship Between Religion and Science: Revisiting Galileo's Inquisition 2008). Which means that while rehabilitating Galileo, pope John Paul II disregarded the ethical and social consequences of his move. Pres. Clinton used this rehabilitation to introduce the law allowing the so-called partial birth abortions.
Half a century or so ago, the most authoritative encyclopedia of history in the U.S. listed Newton only once, and then only to indicate that he was made Warden of the Mint in 1696.(Gerald Holton Finding Favor with the Angel of the Lord: Notes Toward the Psychobiographical Study of sceintific Genius; in: The Interaction Between Science and Philosophy. Ed. By Y. Elkana. 1974. Atlantic Highlands, N.J., p.385) On Oct. 4, 1957 when the first sputnik was launched from the Soviet Union, the Soviet scientists assured that its speed and trajectory were calculated using Newton’s Laws, the same laws that Halley used to calculate the trajectory of his comet, which in 1986 abandoned its usual trajectory over the Northern Hemisphere and went instead to the Southern.
Kepler said that he understood perfectly how the Pythagoreans could believe that all the globes disseminated through Space were rational Intelligences¸facultates ratiocinativae, circulating around the Sun. According to Copernicus they were offspring of the sun god i.e. Reason of the World.
Masonic authority, Albert Pike writes: “If our conceptions of God are those of the ignorant, narrow minded, and vindictive Israelite…we feel that it is an affront and an indignity to God” (Morals and Dogma page 223) This Confederate Brigadier General, in the same book taught that Jehovah is the phallus, Jesus is the vagina, and the Holy Ghost is the sperm of the Godhead! Accordingly, Father Coyne John Paul's Astronomer Royal recognized stars as god's sperm And here is how A. Pike reconstructed in the same book Copernicus's pagan beliefs coded in the above passage and thus restored the teachings of the Global pagan solar religion:
1. “The Sun, Archimagus, worshipped as Mithras, the Mediator, the Invincible. “ (p. 612)
2. “The Sun and Moon of the Alchemists give stability to the Philosophical Stone…” (p. 776)
3. “Sun and Moon considered the cause of the generation of the earth…” (p. 475)
4.”Sun and Moon are the emblems of the two Divine sexes…” (p. 305)
5. “The Sun, called Heliogabalus, and adored under the form of a black stone (like Kaaba!)” (p. 775)
6. “The Sun God finally victorious over the serpent.” (p. 496)
7. “The Sun God rides on the winged horse, but the Serpent bites the horse’s heels.” (p. 499)
8. ”…traces of the worship of the Sun yet linger in all religions.” (p. 483)
9. “You have…heard much of the ancient worship of the Sun, the Moon, and other bright luminaries of
Heaven, and of the Elements and Powers of Universal Nature.” (p. 583)
10. “Faith…was represented by the Sun.” (p. 727)
11. “The Sun was figuratively said to die and be born again at the Winter Solstice.” (p. 464)

Well, the Polish Masonic Lodge is called Copernicus and its Italian counterpart – Galileo.
Arthur Koestler in his Sleepwalker observed:” The dials on the laboratory panels are turning into another version of the shadows in the cave. Our hypnotic enslavement to the numerical aspects of reality has dulled our perception of non-quantitative moral values; the resultant end-justified-the-means ethics may be a major factor in our undoing. Conversely, the example of Plato's obsession with perfect spheres, of Aristotle's arrow propelled by the surrounding air, the 48 epicycles of Canon Koppernigk, and his moral cowardice, Tycho's mania of grandeur, Kepler's sun-spokes, Galileo's confidence tricks, and Descartes' pituitary soul, may have some sobering effect on the worshipers of the new Baal, lording it over the moral vacuum with his electronic brain.” (525)
“The minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and press, usually the Church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and make its tool of them.” - letter to Sigmund Freud, 1932
Esoteric festivals with crowds in the tens of thousands are growing in popularity in the Copernican World
Theosophy which became the surrogate religion of Anglo-American intellectual elites is dreaming about “the day when the mind of the western race has broken away from Mosaic chronology and Mosaic ideas of man and nature.” (See William W. Judge The Ocean of Theosophy. 1893, p.62) And that explains their admiration for men like A. Hitler or Ahmadinejad who speaks so eagerly about wiping Israel off the map.
In the UK, Brighton proudly wears the title these days - Capital of Occulture. This year's Occulture festivities began on July 19th and exhibited bigger than ever venues - sacred music and dance, clairvoyance, psychic and tarot readers, chakra, traditional witchcraft, tattooing, piercing, fetish Satanism, shamanism, transcendent techniques, and lectures favoring paganism from the original Book of Shadows.(This Occulture is a continuation of the 19th Century Occult Revival. Described by Barbra Aho in her Online paper titled The 19th Cenury Occult Revival. The Legacy of Westcott and Hort.I)
Marquee this year was the 'Pleasure Dome" where magicians, sorcerers and witches discussed their trade, including Mogg Morgon, founder of the Golden Dawn Occult Society, Ralph Harvey, a prominent Wiccan High Priest, and Emrys, a Shaman of the Cromlech Covenant.
According to the Occulture Festival's News Page, Mark Ramsden, an accomplished jazz musician with deep interest in the occult was this year's compere. "Old Occulture hands may remember Mark from the infamous Black Friday 2001 - 'a night of dark lascivious delights'" - the website says.
"...the new Archbishop of Canterbury was inducted as a druid in a 200-year-old ceremony with pagan roots in Wales. As the sun rose over a circle of Pembrokeshire bluestones, the Archbishop of Wales, the Most Rev Dr Rowan Williams, donned a long white cloak while druids chanted a prayer to the ancient god and goddess of the land. After a trumpet fanfare and the thrice partial sheathing and unsheathing of a 6ft 6in sword, a citation was read. Dr Williams closed his hands in prayer while the archdruid, wearing a crown and shield over his bardic robes, enfolded them in his own and utter words of welcome. That was the moment that Dr Williams, who adopted a new, bardic name, was accepted into the white druidic order, the highest of three orders of the Gorsedd of Bards, the Welsh body of poets, musicians, writers and artists. The Mistress of the Robes, Sian Aman, then clothed him in a druidic white headdress, and a steward led him to join the other assembled druids inside a sacred circle.
“Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first-rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.” - Lennon's interview in The Evening Standard, 1966
IN THE US
In the U.S., the number of earth-worshiping pagans at the Burning Man Festivals have grown to tens of thousands. People come from Canada, Brazil, Germany, Russia, and 25 other countries to an isolated corner of Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where other Wiccans, Satanists, goddesses, nudists, and a consortium of party-goers converge on the hot Nevada desert for a Labor Day weekend of "glorious Hell on earth."
Recent Burning Man festivals included The Floating World, based on the New Age concept that "Reality is so big we must protect ourselves from it.... Our little worlds, in truth, are ships that float upon a sea," the Chaos Cabaret, a dinner theater devoted to celebrating the two purest forms of chaos: the Maelstrom (a violent, disordered, turbulent state bursting with activity) and the Abyss ( an immeasurable place of the damned), "Motel 666", and "Crucifixion With a Celebrity" where one could purchase a picture of a crucified obese Elvis while eating hamburgers sold by devil-worshipers at the McSatan cafe wearing T-shirts that proudly proclaimed, "Praise The Whore!"
UNDERSTANDING THE OCCULT FIRES PHENOMENON
The spirit of the occult has existed since the beginning of time. Like an insidious cancer—unseen, patient, deadly—it has grown. Indications of its presence have been felt occasionally, and confirmations of its actuality have been documented from Brighton to Washington D.C.
As we approach the culmination of the “new order of the ages,” cult experts forecast a continuing revival of such mysticism. While church attendance continues to decline across the United States and Britain, adherents of the occult expand their "services" to meet the desires and mystical interests of a spiritually hungry world.
New Age expert Judy Vorfeld says, “Dabbling in the realm of the occult is currently stylish. Even some Christians seem unable to avoid the attraction of this colorful, seductive world.”
She's right. From Burning Man festivals to public school Environmental Education to faddish television good-guys and bad-girls, today’s generation is lapping up as much New Age Occultianity as they can get their hands on. Whether it's comic book heroes that teach youth the dangerous Persephonian idea that a person can be in league with the devil and still be a good person, or the syncretistic goals of the Occulture Festival and Burning Man, the glowing fire of pagan revival can no longer be denied.
THE REAL BURNING MAN
From a Biblical point of view, powerful and ancient entities are behind the revival of paganism. In the air above and the earth beneath are nefarious progenitors of esoteric mysticism. “Demons” to some and “gods” to others, such forces have numerous titles. They can appear in hideous forms or as beautiful angels of light. They are the “wicked spirits” (poneria: the collective body of demon soldiers comprising Satan’s hordes), “rulers of darkness” (kosmokrators: governing spirits of darkness), “powers” (exousia: high ranking powers of evil), and “principalities” (arche: commanding generals over Satan’s fallen army) of Ephesians 6:12.
In Harmonics, Book IV, last chapter, Kepler discussed an additional reason for the ebb and flow of the tide. If the demons undertake their work when the moon is favorable, its presence in the shadow will aid their efforts with the magnetic pull of a kindred body.”
As the "gods and goddesses" of the underworld, the demons live today and encourage mysticism among pagans, witches, New Agers and even church-goers in at least the following ways:
Aphrodite—sensuality, fertility rites, wiccan rituals, sacred prostitution. (Mighty Aphrodite)
Amun-Ra—masturbation, self realization, environmentalism, Darwinism.
Apis—animal worship, animal rights, animal channeling, occultianity.
Apollo—humanism, oracles, channeling, psychics, drugs, visualization, “Trip to the Moon on the broom*”.
*The radical lesbian feminist Mary Daly, a brilliant woman who has become totally committed to this new worldview. In her various books, like Pure Lust and another one called Outercourse: The Be-Dazzling Voyage, she describes the meeting of radical witch feminists on the other side of the moon. Thousands of liberated women from the past and the present are gathered on the other side of the moon… you understand this is just playful… and in this gathering there is enormous rage against patriarchy.
Artemis—goddess worship, animal worship, animal rights, lesbianism.
Asclepius—holistic medicine, psychic dreaming, spirit-guide animals.
Athene—goddess worship, feminism, the spirituality movement, lesbianism.
Baal*—oracles, polytheism, abortion**, fertility issues.
*Not a single pro-abortion Catholic politician has been excommunicated from the church during John Paul II's pontificate; only a handful of openly heretical priests were asked to stop teaching theology, but were otherwise permitted to exercise their priestly ministry unhindered.
Demeter—environmental education, earth worship, goddess worship.
Dionysus—drunkenness, freudianism, ecstasy, pornography, lesbianism, abortion*.

Changing Islam into New Age
Dr. Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, Hamas's second in command used to argue that Allah - many times wrongly translated as 'God' - is not the God of the Bible, nor the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Allah is another deity, one who drinks blood as water, who loves jihad and terror, and promises virgins in his so-called paradise to those who kill Jews - the more the better. Accordingly, we learn from a Palestinian post stamp that the true god of Palestine is Baal-Zephon who was a principal mighty one of Ugait or Ras Shamra, and of the Canaanite people who lived in that area of Syria. (The Palestinian assassin of the Jordanian prime minister Wasfi Tal, Manzur Khalifa, knelt down to lap up blood from the pool spreading beneath Tal's body. His lower face smeared red, Khalifa shouted: 'I am proud! Finally I have done it.)
Baal was originally, it appears, associated with specific places and sanctuaries; in Ugarit temple he is equated with Dagon (half-fish, half-man the first-born of philosophical evolution). Ball was also known as the sun idol, Baal-Hannan. He had received the name Hannan, or the “grace”. (Hislop in his two Baylons observed: “From the historian Castor (in Armenian translation of Eusebius, pars. I, p. 81) we learn that it was under Bel, or Belus, that is Baal, that the Cyclops lived; and the Scholiast on Æschylus [chapter II, section II, sub-section I, note 22] states that these Cyclops were the brethren of Kronos, who was also Bel or Bal, as we have elsewhere seen [chapter II, section II, sub-section I]. The eye in their forehead shows that originally this name was a name of the great god, for that eye in India and Greece is found the characteristic of the supreme divinity. The Cyclops, then, had been representatives of that God—in other words, priests, and priests of Bel or Bal. Now, we find that the Cyclops were well-known as cannibals, Referre ritus Cyclopum, "to bring back the rites of the Cyclops," meaning to revive the practice of eating human flesh. (Ovid, Metam., XV, 93, Vol. II, p. 132. The term cannibal is derived from Cahna-Baal, priest of Baal. A Cross in a circle was the symbol of the sun god Baal. Pagan Rome of old offered human sacrifices to Baal on the crosses)
"They shall mistake Baal for the God of Israel "(Hosea 2:16).
Eye of Horus, a symbol of occult illumination hovered over Anne Emmerich on an Augustinian website. Following an expose on the Internet, the Augustinians cropped the Eye of Horus from the original picture. (See attached picture). Recall that the myth of Horus is a distortion of the Genesis account of God's judgment on the Tower of Babel. Not happy with this arrangement, New Agers anticipate the return of Horus as the reincarnation of Nimrod who will at last unite mankind in a victorious rebellion against God. (Gen. 10 and 11). The Gilgamesh Epic describes the first "God is dead" movement
Where will the revival of paganism lead?
Billy Graham says, “Lucifer, our archenemy, controls one of the most powerful and well-oiled war machines in the universe. He controls principalities, powers, and dominions. Every nation, city, village, and individual has felt the hot breath of his evil power. He is already gathering the nations of the world for the last great battle in the war against Christ—Armageddon.”
The "old gods" of the underworld will be destroyed by Yahweh. "The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth" (Zeph. 2:11). "The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish...the gods" (Jer. 46:25). Yahweh will also punish the leader of the gods, that old serpent, called the Devil, and his human followers.
To the physician of the Emperor Julian, the Byzantine ruler who tried to restore paganism after Christianity had become the official religion of the Byzantine Empire, the god Apollo sent message: "Tell the King," said the oracle, "that the curiously built temple has fallen to the ground, that bright Apollo no longer has a roof over his head, or prophetic laurel, or babbling spring. Yes, even the murmuring water has dried up."
IN BULGARIA
It is more than a thousand years since the Bulgarian people, who, emerging from obscurity, suddenly became famous through the late Russo-Turkish war, were converted to Christianity. And yet they appear none the less pagans than they were before, for this is how they meet Christmas and the New Year's day. To this time, they call this festival Survaki, as it falls in with the festival in honor of the ancient Slavonian god Surva. In the Slavonian mythology this deity Surva -- evidently identical with the Aryan Surya, the sun, is the god of heat, fertility, and abundance. The celebration of this festival is of an immense antiquity, as, far before the days of Christianity, the Bulgarians worshiped Surva, and consecrated New Year's day to this god, praying him to bless their fields with fertility, and send them happiness and prosperity. This custom has remained among them in all its primitives heathenism, and though it varies according to localities, yet the rites and ceremonies are essentially the, same. In their prayers they address the god Surva “Our Father who art in heaven.”
IN LITHUANIA
The Lithuanian Group Romuva was first established in 1928, taking its name from an ancient holy place. Soviets destroyed this group, although some secret activities continued in Siberian work camps during Stalin's rule. Trinkunas reestablished the group in 1967, and now there are about 200 members. Today the group is concerned with scientific problems and research, as well as worship. They also maintain contacts with pagan groups all over the Europe. Beyond this "hard-core" group, an interest in Lithuanian traditions has fueled a broader revival of the symbols, songs and arts that find their roots in paganism. Inge Kriksciuniene, author of U gavÃnÃs (the name of the ancient spring festival), is part of a wider movement of Lithuanians who are trying to restore old celebrations. After three years of organizing pagan festivals, participants now number in the thousands. "It is important for people to celebrate and to remember how, where and when they are living", says Kriksciuniene "Pagan festivals represent an important association between culture, aesthetics, nature and beauty. It's very important for people to feel this connection with nature. Furthermore, we wouldn't be Lithuanian if we didn't have our traditions and our language".
IN POLAND
Well, in Warsaw, Poland they are building, Center of Science Copernicus. On the roof of the building they plan to plant a grove mimicking those holy groves in Lithuania. Such holy groves were called mateczniki i.e. Places where life appeared spontaneously. Recall that the earliest name of matter was hyle (Homer's 'υλή ) lit. wood or timber. Let me remind here that when the Cracow University, in which Copernicus was studying, was inaugurated in the early 15th century by its rector Stanislas of Skalbmierz the building was adorned with branches as a Sanctuary of the sun god Apollo, five hundred years of Christianity in Poland notwithstanding. The ivy of the Ivy League colleges is a similar relict of the pagan cult. This center, of course, is supposed to commemorate pope John Paul II's rehabilitation of Copernican heliocentrism and, unfortunately, is strongly reminiscent of the Nazi post stamp issued by the Nazis in Generalgouvernement in 1943 to commemorate the four hundredth anniversary of publication of Copernicus's book. Baal on the Palestinian stamp was a parallel initiative. Click on the link to see Copernicus on the Nazi stamp faculty.kirkwood.edu/ryost/worldwartwo.htm
"The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish...the gods"
The prophets also prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. Jer 2:8 And David came to Baal Perazim, and David smote them there; and he said: The Lord had broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters. 2 Sam 5:20. Now a certain South African judge is branding Israeli soldiers as “war criminals” because they dared to destroy a Baal's sanctuary in Gaza.
On 25 May 1977 I delivered at the Polish Oriental Society a lecture about Geocentric Astronomy of the Book of Job –“He stretched out the North over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing” (Job 26:7) – A heliocentric diagram from the period before Joshua’s conquest unearthed in Israel confirms that the ancient Jews knew the heliocentric system elaborated later by Pythagoras, but rejected it (The Babylonian epic Enuma Elish mentions that the sun god Marduk established the orbit of the earth around the sun). The Biblical Secretaries of God knew about the relativity of the sunlight and therefore could not accept the heliocentric sun as the Light of the World and a Visible God. My article “At the Sources of the Copernican Heliocentrism” was printed in the “Urania” 1/1981/LII, monthly of the Polish Association of the Friends of Astronomy. I pointed out in that paper that Copernicus did not prove immobility of the sun scientifically i.e. mathematically; rather he embraced the philosophical dogma that the sun being a god must rest (cp. Aristotle’s Unmoved Mover): “We conceive immobility to be nobler and more divine that mutability and instability, which latter is therefore more appropriate to the earth than to the universe. I add to this that it would seem quite absurd to attribute motion to that which contains and locates, rather than to that which is contained and located – namely, the earth.” (De revol. I, 8 Polish edition of 1976, p. 18) In 1898 Polish magazine Zycie (Life, II, 44, p. 579) published a 19th century Czech artist’s rendering of the Copernican heliolatry showing Earth goddess Gaia, a great planetary organism circling around the sun god. It was a parody of world-famous oil-painting by J. Matejko depicting Copernicus in “Conversation with God.” I published the results of my life-long researches in Blog4Brownback: Heliocentrism is an atheist Doctrine.

Science bows to theology as the Pope dismantles Vatican observatory
By Peter Popham in Rome
Astronomical observatory that has been part of Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome, for more than 75 years has been dismantled. The new facility is located in a renovated monastery about one-and-a-half miles from its previous location inside the papal palace. Father Coyne tenure did not long outlast the reign of John Paul; he retired in August 2006.
