[/quote]He was Corsican (...however the french made their colonies into provinces of France rather than protectorates or colonial territies...so one can actually argue that he was french...)

Though the french were near unstoppable under him...

"There is a castle on a cloud." Now you've got it stuck in my head! lol :

I believe that there were needed reforms in the French govn't at the time but the heavy persecution of the Catholic Church and the Reign of Terror was taking it thousands of miles too far. It's one thing to be able to elect leaders and get out of poverty , it's another thing to behead anyone who disagrees with you. I think the influence is still there because now people aren't allowed to wear religious symbols in public places and it is very secular over there.

I believe you are confused. The last time I chesked the sun went around the earth. Oh, and by the way, those guys had no right to tell their gracious king off.

I'd much rather have a democracy than a dictatorship or a govn't where someone is just simply born to do the job. I want to have a say in the govn't

perhaps you'd care to explain the Aristotelian model of the universe on which the prevailing scientific minds of the middle ages agreed? And which was viewed more favorably than Copernicus' theories?

it was geocentric, placing the earth at the center, and the rotation of the planets and sun, etc into an elaborate, complex system of movements... it was this model that Galileo was arguing against in the 16th century

Perhaps the Little Flower would not have been born...


BTW, someone neglected to mention Gregor Mendel who was an Augustinian Monk!!! :
