And Galileo was excommunicated for saying that the Earth revolved around the sun. So, like I said, Galileo would disagree with the statement that science is catching up to the Bible.

Yes...and like I posted that was the 16th Century...the CHURCH has SINCE changed its postion.  But remember, the Church could not just rush to endorse his
(Gallileo) ideas/ theories.  It was against everything they knew AT THE TIME..contradicting even Aristotle.  Also remember that Gallileos theories were NOT entirely correct.  Although he was right about the [mobility of the earth] he was wrong about [the immobility of the sun]!  We NOW know that the Sun is NOT the center of the universe and that is DOES move. :angel:

16th century? They have only recently admitted they handled it wrong and still won't acknowledge he was right.

On 31 October 1992, Pope John Paul II expressed regret for how the Galileo affair was handled, and issued a declaration acknowledging the errors committed by the Catholic Church tribunal that judged the scientific positions of Galileo Galilei, as the result of a study conducted by the Pontifical Council for Culture. [133][134] In March 2008 the head of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Nicola Cabibbo, announced a plan to honour Galileo by erecting a statue of him inside the Vatican walls. [135] In December of the same year, during events to mark the 400th anniversary of Galileo's earliest telescopic observations, Pope Benedict XVI praised his contributions to astronomy. [136] A month later, however, the head of the Pontifical Council for Culture, Gianfranco Ravasi, revealed that the plan to erect a statue of Galileo in the grounds of the Vatican had been suspended.
