Actually, Galileo got in trouble over that whole earth-revolving-around-the-sun thing. It had been known for many centuries that the Earth was round. One positive benefit from the Galileo affair was that the Church stopped interpreting the Bible as a source of scientific (as opposed to spiritual) guidance. It is those who have not learned that lesson that give Christianity a bad name as I'm sure you'll agree. Bowen
