Funny how you fail to note that it was the Church that brought order and learning to the world in the first place. It was the Church that established the universities.

It was also the literal belief in the Scriptures, which describe the earth as a "sphere", that caused some men who fanatically believed in the truth of the Bible ("Godaholics" as Hemingway's Ghost put it) to challenge the conventional wisdom of the more 'enlightened' who believed in a flat earth.

LOL!

"Others mocking said, 'These men are full of new wine.'" Acts 2:13

I am pleased to be accused of such a thing.
