Copernicus saw the Earth revolve around the sun, but his observations clashed with the Ptolemaic model of the universe, which said the Earth was at the center of things and the sun and everything else revolved around it. That view was embraced by the Catholic Church, until it removed Copernicus from its “forbidden” list 142 years later.

On this day in 1616, the Catholic Church banned the writing of Nicolaus Copernicus. His work titled "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres" was added to Rome’s Index of Forbidden Books.

Two-part meme. Top text in bold black italics reads: "CREATIONIST: GOD DESIGNED OUR BODIES. HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN HOW WELL THEY WORK?" Below that: "ME:" followed by medical imaging showing cross-section of human head/neck anatomy with skull, blood vessels, nerves, and tissues visible. Vessels shown in blue (veins), red (arteries), yellow (nerves), and green (other structures) creating complex, tangled network. Caption in white text with black background reads: "That's bad cable management. Pull them out." Meme satirizes intelligent design argument by highlighting the messy, inefficient routing of human anatomy as evidence against perfect creation.

Creationists like Ray Comfort (of Living Waters ) will try to sell you on the idea that the body is expertly designed while you both look at shit like this.

Meme featuring fluffy white cat wearing round black glasses and red bow tie sitting at a desk with laboratory equipment. Background shows chalkboard with scientific formulas and diagrams. Laboratory glassware includes beakers with colored liquids and test tubes. White text at top reads: "IS SCIENCE TOO HARD FOR YOU?" White text at bottom reads: "TRY RELIGION." Watermark "ATHEISTICFRIECHO" visible on left side. Meme satirizes religious belief as the easy alternative to scientific inquiry and critical thinking.

Religion and science are toxic to one another. Religion erodes science and prevents scientific progress. Science makes you question magical talking snakes and donkeys.
