There's not a single Christian denomination in American which claims Biblical proof of a flat earth and sun. At least Christians accept facts that can be easily proven. Evolution, though likely true, is still just a theory, and will remain just a theory until we've been around long enough to catalog it in action. Might take a few hundred thousand years for that to happen. Meanwhile, all we need to do is take a picture from a satellite to prove the Earth is round.One of the biggest misconceptions ever was that the Catholic Church persecuted Galileo because he said the sun was at the center of the solar system and not the Earth. The Church had already accepted this fact. What got Galileo in trouble was claiming that the New Testament was wrong when it adopted the Aristotle model as the Gospel Truth. The Church had no problem with science conflicting with dogma, it had a problem with people claiming science was more important than religion. |
