In a word - nonsense.

Also, the treatment of Galileo was due to his rewriting the Bible, not his science. Copernicus was a monk and had none of the problems that did Galileo.

The matter of the primacy of Peter is merely one of whether someone trusts the Gospel (Matthew 16:17-19) or not. Perhaps Our Lord, Jesus, was simply making idle chit-chat. But I'm betting not.

Peace.

Good read. However, I might suggest that many of what is being called “presuppositions” are actually the result of “conclusions”. That is, someone said, “X is true.” That person held sway in the hearer’s thinking and they “concluded” that it was, therefore, true. Conclusions have a way of burrowing down deeply into our thinking until they seem like “presuppositions”, but if traced back to their origin, began as conclusions. Small point, I know, but I guess I just had to say it.
