I love how contradictory all this is to the standard image of the uneducated, brutish Medieval peasant. It is assumed nowadays that the middle ages were a time of ignorance, but one has only to look at Anselm or Thomas Aquinas to discover a very different perspective.
Galileo did NOT think the planets movements were elliptical but perfect circles. It was Kepler who talked about elliptical orbits and Galileo is somehow unaware of Kepler's work or else completely ignored it.
A fascinating lecture, but, given the introductory remarks, I felt a little let down by its conclusion. For the modern Christian, what value does the ancient cosmology actually have? Any? Yes, it might help us to decode Narnia (something I have absolutely no interest in), but does it reveal anything factual about the shape and structure of the universe? I now have so many questions lol. Questions like, are the planets really home to invisible beings? Is heaven to be located somewhere in deep space? And does the lecturer himself believe that the cosmology holds any truth?
Solid Lecture
C.S. Lewis is quite insightful.
