"They will simply say that it is so because God wants us to be that way and because he preordained that we shall be that way and they will do nothing because that would "thwart" God's omnipotence."
Insh'Allah...very Mohammaden.
Salaam walekum!! Well put Kolokotronis. Christianity allows us the freedom to think, Islam does not -- the Hadiths SAY that the earth is flat, so you cannot contradict it without being an apostate. The Bible does NOT say this, so the medieval men may have thought one theory and we may teach another, but that does not affect the Church belief system.
