You missed my point entirely, so I'll spell it out for you.
The Catholic church has deliberately decided that the Bible cannot contradict science, because God created the science.
They acknowledge that there are arguments within the scientific community on issues (closed universe vs. open universe, etc.). But the Church refuses to take a position.
Whether that's because the Galileo issue actually was an argument between Aristotelian vs. Copernican science is irrelevant. What's relevant is that the Catholic church got a black eye from the disagreement, and they now intelligently stay out of the crossfire of scientific issues.
That's something that the fundamentalists apparently aren't bright enough to figure out.
When religion and science have tangled, science has always won. Always. It will do so again.
