The question for man: If we are not suppose to think, why did God give us brains? What a question!  Yesterday, in Poland, the Church reburied Nicolaus Copernicus.

Nicolaus Copernicus  is a hero of science, of inquiry, of looking and seeing for oneself truth. He ran afoul of the earthly power that were at his time. He was condemned by the Church, Protestant and Catholic. He was declared a heretic by his own Church, and at his death he was buried in an unmarked grave. Why? Because he used the gift of his mind. He used his ability to think. He used his skills to write down his thoughts.

Copernicus, the 16th-century astronomer, was reburied yesterday, Saturday, with honor, by the Polish state and by the Roman Catholic Church of Poland. May 22, 2010 is a long way from May 24, 1543, the date of his death. Man understands that he is not the center of the Universe, earth is not supreme under the Heavens. The sun gives light to an entire solar system. Knowledge of these things are possible because man was born with eyes to see and a brain that can think.
