Thats my primary issue with the harcore bible crowd.
Anytime something comes along that they think contradicts it, they say it isn't so, and want to force everyone to think that way too.
Even when it's been proven.
It took centuries for the church to finally apologize for trying to stop the idea that the earth goes around the sun. By that time it had become common knowledge anyhow, and all the participants in the original conflict were long dead. Big fat hairy deal.
If the church really wants to do something that actually means anything, it should quit hassling the scientific community and focus more on rooting out it's child molestors.
I don't see them clamoring to have Hindu or Shinto creation stories told in school.

(gee I wonder why...)

(no, actually I don't)
