Creation Moment 7/29/2012 - Truth about medieval "science vs. religion" clash

"For well over 1,000 years (from Ptolemy, a Greek mathematician, of about 200 A.D.) scientists believed that the rest of the universe revolved around the Earth. This belief did not come from the Bible, but from Greek science. And though incorrect it had ripple effects through the rest of educated Westerners. "The scientists must be right" in such matters, of course. Over time even Christian priests tagged along believing that the scientific consensus had settled the matter. But Copernicus and then Galileo came along - and upset the conventional wisdom.
Galileo vs. the leaders of his day is not an example of "religion vs. science" but rather is an example of scientists being wrong for about 1,200 years. Their educated peers, later being the church-state leaders of the Middle Ages, sided against the upstart Galileo for his standing against what was "already long since known" and settled. But the ripple effects of educated people long believing such an inaccurate scientific theory had subsequently impacted European theology, philosophy, and many other disciplines." Creationism
