Exactly! The people who persecuted Galileo were Christians, but their interpretation of what it meant to be Christian was so strict and inflexible, with respect to Galileo's findings, that something very unChristian happened, even though his findings had nothing to do with the core principles of Christianity - Just as the theory of evolution has nothing to do with the core principles of Christianity.
This shows us why it is necessary to always allow for some interpretation, some ability to adjust what we accept or believe as we learn more about our world, some wiggle-room of you will - No matter what ideas and beliefs we are talking about adjusting, we must be conistently flexible and open-minded.
