The Galileo/Pope Urban thing was a long, long time ago people.



Agreed, but the Roman Catholic Church didn't officially acknowledge the error and offer an apology until 1992 (250 years later), and that wasn't that long ago.
So, officially if not empirically, the RCC believed the Earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it until 16 years ago.

For them to go (again, officially) from a Geocentric stance to the basic starting point of an evolutionary belief in creation in less than 2 decades is pretty fucking amazing.
