Translation to English about the Cartesian thought

[guille101]

"I have always felt very close to the Cartesian thought. The "Discourse on Method" is, for me, one of the deepest intents of man in the search of itself. I believe, however that if Descartes had lived in our time, another route he had taken from his magnificent "I think, therefore, I exist". Remember that he lived in a time where fear to inquisitors was advised by prudence. Do not forget that the book of Copernicus, "The revolutions of the heavenly worlds" -where he challenged the dogma that the Sun and the planets rotated around the Earth- was prohibited; that Galileo suffered the wrath of the Church and that, before, by will of the Pope Clement VIII (Rome, February 17, 1600), Giordano Bruno was burned alive at the stake for being incorrigible.
I belong to the century of Madonna, where, however much, the people could censure her attitudes against religion, no ecclesiastical power has forces enough as to condemn her or anyone to the blaze, neither to nothing seemed.

We belong to a century freed of many things, even freed of God. However, even though some call themselves atheists, at bottom, this is not knowledge, so that, practically, is not different from believers. In reality, is the same attitude, only in opposite direction. Both deserve our doubts with regard to their validity. "

Above is my original . Muchas gracias a los que quieran ayudarme.
Elaina: Tienes mucha razón. Pero para pasarlo bien de verdad, deberemos ser libres incluso de las filosofias y los poemas. Es hora de dejar de buscar. Es hora de encontrarnos con nosotros mismos.

"Siempre me he sentido muy cercano al pensamiento cartesiano. El “Discurso del Método” es, para mí, uno de los más profundos intentos del hombre en la búsqueda de sí mismo. Creo, sin embargo, que si Descartes hubiese vivido en nuestra época, otra ruta hubiese tomado a partir de su magnífico “Pienso, luego existo”.

Recordemos que él vivió en un tiempo donde el temor a los inquisidores era aconsejado por la prudencia. No nos olvidemos que el libro de Copérnico, “Las revoluciones de los mundos celestes” -donde impugnaba el dogma de que el Sol y los planetas giraban en torno a la Tierra-, fue prohibido; que Galileo sufrió la ira de la Iglesia y que, antes, por voluntad del Papa Clemente Octavo (Roma, 17 de Febrero de 1600), Giordano Bruno fue quemado vivo en la hoguera por ser incorregible.
Yo pertenezco al siglo de Madonna, donde por mucho que la gente pudiera censurar a ella sus actitudes contra lo religioso, ningún poder eclesiástico tiene fuerza suficiente como para condenar a ella o a alguien a la hoguera, ni a nada parecido.

Pertenecemos a un siglo liberado de muchas cosas, incluso liberado de Dios. Pero, a pesar de que algunos se llaman a sí mismos ateos, en el fondo, esta actitud no representa un conocimiento, de modo que, prácticamente, no es diferente a la de los creyentes. En realidad es la misma actitud, únicamente en sentido opuesto. Ambas merecen nuestra duda con respecto a su validez."

We belong to a century freed from many things, even freed from God. However, even though some call themselves atheists, deep down, this attitude doesn't reflect knowledge, so it's basically no different from the believers. In reality, it's the same attitude, only in the opposite direction. Both deserve our doubts with regard to their validity."

Suggested changes above. Good job!
