Shadowcaster, you might want to do a little reading on Galileo. He very narrowly avoided being burned at the stake by the Inquisition, but Giordano Bruno was not so lucky. Bruno not only stated that the Earth revolved around the Sun, but he also "identif[ied] the sun as just one of an infinite number of independently moving heavenly bodies" and was "the first man to have conceptualized the universe as a continuum where the stars we see at night are identical in nature to the Sun". If you think "there was no religious implication to the relationship between the Sun and the Earth", then why did the Inquisition whip out the hot pokers every time someone suggested anything contrary to the Bible?

...and if you think Catholicism finally realized the error of its ways, just ten years ago, "on the 400th anniversary of Bruno's death, Cardinal Angelo Sodano declared Bruno's death to be a 'sad episode'. Despite his regret, he defended Bruno's persecutors, maintaining that the Inquisitors 'had the desire to preserve freedom and promote the common good and did everything possible to save his life' by trying to make him recant".

What a guy.

I'm not sure what you're getting so worked up about Shadowchaser. Science is such a broad field. Take for example Modern Medicine Vs Alternative Medicine. Or the Laws of Physics vs The Laws of your God. Modern Medicine may not cure people 100% of the time but there is a certain success rate. Alternative Medicine often show no improvement over a placebo from peer reviewed studies. The Laws of Physics can be shown to work near 100% of the time. The Laws of your God or whatever you believe can't be proved through human senses.
