"Make that Martin Luther."

Besides the original apostles, Martin Luther (although far from perfect) is one of the greatest men in the history of Christianity. God used him to save Christianity from a perversion called "the church" that was masquerading as Christianity. Sola Scriptura, Sola Gracia, Sola Christo, Sola Fide, and Sola Deo Gloria.

Luther is was far from being perfect, he would be the first to state so. However, God used this man at the right time and right place. God used men like Luther, Calvin, and latter the English puritans to restore Christianity. That is, of course, my opinion.

I'm not discussing Martin luther in any other context except the one in which he quoted scripture to prove that a new scientific theory was untrue. He was wrong.

Religious people have a long history of quoting scripture to prove scientific ideas are wrong. It is a misuse of the Bible, and it is counterproductive. It turns people away from the Bible.
