In 1610 when Galileo Galliei observed the four largest moons of Jupiter he disproved the belief that the entire universe revolves around the earth as well as the belief the earth was the center of the creation.

 

At the time, most philosophers and astronomers believed the Earth stood motionless at the centre of the universe. Astronomers, philosophers and clerics believed the Sun was at the centre of the universe. Subsequent investigations led to the Catholic Church condemning Galileo’s observations as "false" and "altogether contrary to the Holy Scripture."

 

Galileo was warned to abandon his discovery. He was eventually tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy", and spent the remaining nine years of his life under house arrest.

 

Today, Christians accepting evolution experience the same objections. As the discovery that the earth is not the center of creation is accepted by Christians so will be that mankind is not either. The bible does not change but our understanding of it does, like it or not truth will prevail.

 

Your enemy is not science it is certainty.
