in praise of astronomy, says the atlanticists. rare occasion on which i agree with them. (james astill didn't write this, i guess.)

when did the vatican accept that the earth revolves around the sun? 25 years ago? 50 years ago? anyway it took them several centuries to accept that galileo was in fact right.
