The Catholic Church has learned that when physical reality and the Bible do not agree, it is the human interpretation of Scripture that needs to be re-examined.

Reality? What reality? The *reality* that someone decides they see in the lab?

In case you haven't heard, "truth" is a word best avoided in science.

What about the thought that if science and Scripture conflict that it's the human interpretation of the SCIENCE that needs to be re-examined?

Or has it never occurred to you that science could be wrong about something?

I'm talking about physical reality, thing we see and touch, not wording in a multiply translated, multimillenia old stories. Wording is far, far more subjective. Even a literal interpretation is soft compared to observed facts. No mention of 'truth' here. It is your understanding of what science is and your desire to make reality fit your preconceived superstitions that's at fault. Most grownups don't do that anymore.

Pluto used to be a planet. And until the early to mid 1900's most scientists believed there was no beginning of real space and real time. etc.
