3:49 No, he is not describing his amazement at the world God has made, he is conveying it by describing sth else, namely the world that God has made ... if he's incorrect, that's as bad as if St. Paul in Romans 1, verses 19 and 20 is wrong about what the world actually shows.

There is a good reason to take that too as a geocentric text. You see, the flagellum of bacteria and the complexity of DNA definitely do show what St. Paul speaks of sth showing, but as they are very recent discoveries and not available in St. Paul's time, they do not fulfil the criterium of from the creation of the world — Geocentrism, if we take the prima facie view of day and night, and of seasons, actually does fulfil that. Riccioli identified it as Prima Via, except he rejected it, since he attributed the "daily motion" to a harmony between "daily motionS" of angels moving celestial bodies through empty space coordinates. Even if angels moving Sun around Earth in 24 h and Moon around Earth in 24:55 hours were true, rather than them going opposite way along the Zodiac while God Himself moves the totality, their harmony given the multiplicity of celestial bodies each with its own mover would require a unity of command.

4:34 If it's actually Earth that moves the other way around its axis, the Sun is less amazing and more inert.

So, if Heliocentrism is true, the praise is actually at least somewhat misplaced.

4:49 Basing his praise on his experience involves taking his experience at face value.

Being a Heliocentric means imagining he was wrong in so doing. Heliocentrism is the less Empirical view.

5:19 "Phenomenological language" is a term that:
a) usually leaves understood that the reality differs from the phenomenon, as Heliocentrics think Geocentric descriptions do;
b) would for that reason only apply to human descriptions, not to divine commands, including what God makes a miracle maker say at the doing of a miracle.

I'm not asking you to look at Joshua 10:13 which in human terms describes what happened. I'm asking you to look at Joshua 10:12, where Joshua on God's behalf adresses what needs to miraculously behave differently. Words directly inspired by the Creator and Lord of all the things involved. If God had "known" it is really Earth that turns around itself, Joshua would either not have worded God's command that way, but adressed Earth instead, or he would not have been given the miracle. Otherwise, the miracles of Joshua and later Isaias would stand alone in being miracles adressed to totally different beings than the ones really involved in it.

6:50 I very highly doubt you can trace that quote back to Baronius.

I think the real man behind the quote is Galileo, in his letter to Grand Duchess Christina.

Pius XII did not condemn political Christianity in Mit brennender Sorge. Pius XI in Mit brennender Sorge condemned un-Christian practises. And total rebooting of the content of religious terminology, way beyond just "political Christianity" ... that it was Cardinal Pacelli who penned it doesn't mean it was not Pius XI who did the condemnations, as he was still alive and still Pope.

Equally, you seem happy to misquote Galileo as Baronius.

6:53 Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina is indeed probably from 1615. It is also by Galileo.

By 1615, Baronius was already dead since 8 years ago, before the Galileo controversy. He died in 1607.

Historical accuracy is not your forte.
