Do you deny that the church was wrong about Copernicus and Galileo, and corect to admit its error?

Probably more correct is that all human thought includes within it embedded error. Error, when present is manifested by it's non-correlation with established fact. Truth illuminates prior knowledge and brings greater understanding to that which is incompletely perceived. This is true in all thought, not just in "Religious" or "Scientific" ideation

Knowing the truth and letting it set us free is correct in all ventures

"Probably more correct is that all human thought includes within it embedded error."

Nice relativist statement. So it doesn't really matter whether you believe that the sun orbits the earth, or the earth orbits the sun, as all human thought has some "embedded error"?
