Following up on the Geocentrism thread, which do you think was more damaging to Christianity?

- Galileo's teaching of Heliocentrism

-the Church's position that Heliocentrism and the Bible were incompatible and one must be false if the other is true.

I think without a doubt of a shadow that the answer is D.

lol

Actually the Church has hurt themselves more than once with an uber close-minded view. So, my guess would be the second one, if I had to make such a guess.
