You (and all evos) need to read up on what people really believed about the sphericity of the earth in history and quit blaming religion for “damaging” science by stating that the sun revolves around the earth.

That only cuts into your credibility and puts you in a position of looking like all you’re interested in doing is driving the wedge between religion and science deeper than ever by perpetuating myths.

Flat Earth

Scientific mythology

If we’re going to get into that sort of thing, I could point out that it was the scientists of Simmelweis’ day who were opposed to his suggestion of handwashing between doing autopsies and childbirth. Many women and children would have survived if they had followed the OT proscribtion of dealing with dead bodies.

Correction.... *damaging religion*

The only damage to religion is occurring from those who use myths to beat it with, like the myth that the *church* (whichever one that is) teaches a flat earth and that creationists believe it.
