I understand that there was church intimidation of Galileo saying that the sun goes around the Earth and referencing the Bible. Historically the Church reversed its position, and indeed the interpretation of those passages could be the Earth is the center of God's universe.
When I asked about the flat Earth someone said that Galileo was trying to prove the round Earth, this is just historically innaccurate.
Today I don't see really any church intimidating scientific discovery. I of course do see the desire to teach intelligent design in public school, but courts are not allowing this.
So really, what exactly are all of us atheists in such an uproar about in 2006?
