TimeBetween ChristAndAdam

J.V.L.,PYMBLE:HowlongbeforeChrist didMoseslive?

R.:About1200years.ThetimebetweenMoses andChristwasthereforeshorterthanthatbetween Christ,andourselveslivingaswedosome1900 yearsafterHistime.

Q.:HowlongbeforeMosesdidAdamlive?

R.:Nopreciseanswertothatispossible.Historicalrecordsofmankindcancarryusbacktoabout 4000B.C.Beyondthat,wehavetospeakofprehistoricaltimes.Thediscoveryandstudyoffossil remainsofprehistoricmensuggestthatanything between50,000and100,000yearselapsedbetween AdamandMoses.

HOWDIDMOSESKNOW?

Q.:Ifnorecordexisted,whatsourcesofinformationdidMoseshaveforthewritingofthebook ofGenesis?

R.:AlthoughGodgaveMosestheimpulseor,as wesay,inspiredhimtowritethebookofGenesis, noteverythingMoseswrotewasmadeknownto himbyrevelation.Mosesincorporatedvarious currenttraditionsinhisaccount;butwhilethese couldspantheyearsbetweenMosesandAbraham, wholivedabout900yearsearlierorevengobacka thousandorsoyearsbeyondAbraham,theycould notprovideanythinglikereliableinformationover themanythousandsofyearsreachingbackto Adam.CertainlysincetherewerenohumanwitnessesandGodalonecouldknowwhattookplace atman'screation,thebasicteachingsinthefirst chaptersofGenesismusthavebeenmadeknown toMosesbydivinerevelation.

WAS"ADAM"AREALNAME?

Q.:Was"Adam"therealnameofthefirstman?

R.:Wedonotknowwhetherhecalledhimself Adam,norevenwhatlanguagehespoke.Writing inHebrewmanythousandsofyearsafterthecreationofthefirstman,Mosesgavehimthenameof Adam,derivedfromtheHebrew"adamah,"meaning"oftheearth."Sotheword"Adam"really means"earthling."InScripturethewordissometimesusedinthesingularasmeaningaman,or collectivelyasmeaningmankind;butitisalsoused asapropername,andinthatsenseweusually speakofAdamasbeingthefirstman.Whatcan certainlybesaidisthatAdamisthebiblicalname forthefirstman,andwearejustifiedinspeaking Ofhiminsuchaway.

R.:Thescriptwriterofit didnotknowwhathewas talkingabout.

Q.:ItsaidCopernicusremainedsilentabouthis newideaoftheearthrevolvingaboutthesunbecausehemightbeburned aliveforheresy.

R.;Thatisnonsense. Copernicusdedicatedhis booktoPopePaulIII,and inthe"Dedication"explainedthathehaddelayed publishingitforfearofbeingridiculedbyhisfellow scientists.Hewrotetothe Pope:"Butmymisgivings andprotestswereovercome bymyfriends.Foremost amongthemwasNicholas Schonberg,Cardinalof Capua yieldingtotheir persuasions,Iatlastpermittedmyfriendstopublish theworkwhichtheyhave solongdemanded."Arthur Koestler,inhisrecentbook, "TheSleepwalkers,"sayson page153:"Thewholeevidenceindicatesthatitwas notmartyrdomhefeared, butridicule heknew hecouldnotproveittothe ignorant,nordefendit againstcriticismbytheexperts."

NEWCOPERNICAN THEORY

Q.:Notesforteachersoutliningtheprogrammesay: "He(Copernicus)graduallybecameconvinced thatanideaonceheldby theGreeks,thattheearth goesroundthesun,must betrue."

R.:Manysharedhisconviction.NicholasofCusa wroteabookcalled"LearnedIgnorance'in1440,33 yearsbeforeCopernicuswas born,inwhichhetaught

thattheearthwasnotthe centrebutitselfmoved roundafixedbase.This theorywasthetalkofthe universitieswhereCoperni cusstudied,Cracow, BolognaandFerrara.What Copernicusdiddowasto uniteallsuchtheoriesina singlecomprehensivesystem.

"FEAROFCHURCH'S

TEACHING"

Q.:"Butthisidea,"thenotes say,"wascontrarytothe teachingoftheChurch."

R.:Itwasnotcontraryto theteachingoftheChurch. Nodecisionsonthismatter weregivenbytheChurch untily1616,73yearsafter thedeathofCopernicus, whenGalileobrought troubleonhimselfbyhis ownimprudentattitudetowardsecclesiasticalauthorities.

Q.:Topublishitwouldexciteridiculeandmightbe dangerous."

R.:Copernicusknewit wouldnotbedangerous.He fearedtheridiculeofhis fellowscientists.

APPROVALOFCHURCH

AUTHORITIES

Q.:InVol.2ofyour"Radio Replies,"n.508,yousay Copernicushadoften spokenofhistheoriesand wasinducedbyclerical friendstoputtheminto print.

R.:CardinalSchonberg,of Capua,aclosefriendof threePopes,LeoX,Clement VIIandPaulIII,wroteto CopernicusonNovember1, 1536:"Ibegyoumostemphaticallytocommunicate yourdiscoveriestothe learnedworld."Copernicus

GIROLAMA SAVONAROLA

READER,BARGO: Ihaverecentlyreada bookcalled"ACrownofFire,"byPierrevan Paassen,describingthelifeofGirolomo Savanarola.IsPierrevanPaassenaCatholic?

R.:No.HeisaProtestant ministerbelongingtothe UnitarianChurchinAmerica.Hewasatonetime newscorrespondentforthe "NewYorkWorld."Heisa populariser,notatrained historian;andhewouldnot belikelytogiveareliable accountofSavonarola.

CANONISATION?

Q.:HesaysthatSavonarola wasasimpleyetmighty manofGod,whosecause forcanonisationhasbeen introducedthreetimesin vain,andthatPopeJohn XXIIIshouldcanonise him.

R.;ThatwillbeforPolio JohnXXIIItodecide.Savonarolawasbornin1452, becameapriestintheDominicanOrderandbyhisferventsermonsconvertedthe cityofFlorencefromits loosewaystoChristian standardsofvirtue.Buthe triedtosetupanindepen-

UNLIKELY

Q.:Doyouthinkhewillbe canonised?

R.:Ipersonallydonot thinkso.Zealagainstabuses isgood;but,asCardinal NewmansaidofSavonarola, whomheadmiredinmany ways:"Nogoodcancomeof disobedience.Thatwasnot thewaytobecomean Apostle."Onthatscore alonehecouldscarcelybe heldupasamodelofall thataChristianshouldbe, bycanonisinghimasasaint.

Q.:IlookedupSirEdmund Whittaker'shook"Space andSpirit,"andreadthere thattheCopernicandoctrinewasexplainedten yearsearliertoPopeClementVII,whoappearsto havebeennotunfavourablyimpressed.

R.:Thatisanunderstatement.TheRoyalLibraryat Munich,inGermany,containsadocumentofcommendationandgratitude givenbyPopeClementVII toaGermanscientistnamed JohnAlbertusWidmanstadiusforcomingtoRome togivealectureattheVaticanin1533,inordertoexplaintothePopeandthe CardinalsthenewCopernicansystem.

Q.:SirEdmundWhittaker alsosaidthatthebook, whenpublishedwasdedicatedtoPopePaulIIIand prefacedbytheCardinal ArchbishopofPadua.

R.:Thatisnotquitecorrect.Thebookwhenpublishedin1543wasdedicated tothethenreigningPope PaulIII.Theprefacewas writtenbyafriendof CopernicusnamedAndreas Osiander.Thirdly,aspartof
