[QUOTE="Loudmouth, post: 17473986, member: 11790"] I don't disagree, but the Church has not been as flexible in the past. Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for claiming that the earth was not the center of the universe and that life existed on other planets. This was in 1600 AD. The Church proceeded to burn him at the stake for this and other beliefs. From [url="http://www.thereisnogod.info/English/Giordano.php"]http://www.thereisnogod.info/English/Giordano.php[/url] (it is an atheist site, so forgive me ;)) "His claims of an infinite universe with inhabited planets were revolutionary and considered a real threat to the Church doctrine." I fully realize that his views on the position of the Earth and life on other planets would not clash with current christian theology, but it is interesting that these views have changed over time within christianity.
