Conflict of Church and Science - The Problem With Galileo
by
John Thomas Didymus
It has for too long been thought that the conflict over Galileo's ideas was primarily one of a conflict between Church and Science. The evidence, however, is that Galileo's first and greatest enemies were his colleagues, the "Liga," at the university, who found it convenient to recruit the powers of the church and state in their support.

The Cosmic Last Laugh
by
Judith E Braffman-Miller
Our species has many times confused reality with illusion. One of our most outrageous illusions was the old notion that we are at the center of the Universe. With Copernicus, our conceited species lost forever its dream-like notion that it somehow held a privileged place in a Universe where there is no privileged place. This is not to say that human life, and any intelligent life that may exist beyond our home planet, is not very special--we are stardust come to life.

Black Education - Is it Needed? Part 1
by
Pamela A Hamilton
Black education easily can be taken for granted. Many of us do not feel the need to study black history and culture, perhaps because we live it every day. If we stop and think about it, we may see that Western education is the study of Europe and its effects on the rest of the world, past, present and future.

Addictions Recovery Measurement
the Seven Dimensions Model
by
James Slobodzien
Introducing a Multidimensional Recovery Measurement Model for Addictions The sun was thought to revolve around the earth for 1500 years. It wasn't until a European astronomer named - Nicolaus Copernicus first formulated a modern heliocentric theory of the solar system that we began to change our thinking. This insight ultimately ushered in a major paradigm shift in astronomy and physics. Every model or viewpoint for recovery maintains the integrity and importance of its own position, often to the exclusion of other explanations. For example, there are recovery models and theories for: biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual viewpoints that can all explain human behavior. Unfortunately, these viewpoints may thus "blind" their adherents to alternative interpretations until some new insight is achieved that resolves the problems left unsolved. It is my hope that the 7 - Dimensions model for addictions recovery measurement is a step towards a "Copernicus" type paradigm shift.

History Of Earth Globes
by
LaZinnia Manley
Most people do not realize the most accurate world map is a globe. It is actually common sense as to why this is. The earth is round, not flat, so flat maps are good but not truly, completely accurate when studying the earth.

The Discovery of Earth
by
Stuart Michael M
The Earth is the planet situated third from the sun and it is the fifth largest planet in the solar system. It is also the densest among all the planets. To ascertain the existence of the Earth you would probably need to be outside the planet.

Refractor, Reflector and Dobsonian Telescopes
by
Dan A Wilson
When someone mentions a name like Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, and Sir Isaac Newton a bell is sure to ring. The brilliant minds of our past that changed the world in the field of Astronomy as we now know will never be forgotten. Each one of these men made amazing discoveries about the cosmos that is the universe and with the exception of Copernicus; the findings which changed everything were done with a telescope.

The Outer Space
by
Andrew Bleak
Ever wondered if there is life outside the earth? Do aliens or extra-terrestrial beings really exist? How do stars look like at close distance? What would it be like to live in Mars and stroll on the moon?
