Fundamentalists reject authority other than their own. They reject scientific authority that conflicts with fundamentalism, they reject governmental authority that conflicts with fundamentalism, and they reject religious authority that conflicts with fundamentalism.

Fundamentalist have scripture as their authority, and when theories conflict with scripture, they are false theories; when govt. authority conflicts with God-given rights or lifestyle, govt. is to be defied (as Bonhofer defied the Nazis); when a church rejects scripture as the ultimate authority, we expose that church for its heresy. Any questions?

How do you discern what is the correct scripture (or interpretation)?

Wouldn't you be embarrassed to find some obscure tribe in Africa actually has it right and all these others including Christianity has missed the mark.

Martin Luther said: People gave ear to an upstart astrologer who strove to show that the earth revolves, not the heavens or the firmament, the sun and the moon.... This fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy; but sacred scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth.

Was Luther's interpretation of Scripture incorrect? IF so, where else did he go wrong?

Was Copernicus' theory wrong?
