You have a hard time conceeding that Galileo was a Christian, don't you? You have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that he was both a Christian *and* a scientist.
My point is about science and Christianity, not about "establishment"....
Aristotle -- not a Christian, obviously -- believed the universe was finite and spherical with a stationary earth at its center. It was Galileo -- a Christian man -- who further investigated Copernicus' theories, and proclaimed them loudly as true.
My point is that in the one example that you pointed out, it was the non-Christian perspective that was un-scientific, and the Christian perspective that was very scientific.
That you continue to insist that Christians are incapable of practicing good science is not only getting boring, but is unfounded and unsupportable.

Uhhhhh.... what?

Aristarchos of Samos. Pagan. Look him up.

What the *hell* are you blathering about? Where have you seen me post anything of the kind?
Man. What is it with Creationists? They see things that just aren't there, and then wrap their worldviews around those phantoms. Your bizarro-world claim that I said somethign akin to "Christians are incapable of practicing good science" is just so far from anything I've actually said, it's hard to come up with a response.
