"becuase science condridicts what the church has told people . First there was that the earth wasent the center of the universe , that really disturbed the religous institutions of the time . Then geology and evolution which made it obvious that the worlds been around much longer then what is suggested by the bible , and that it wasnet created in such a short time ."
"Let 's give credit where credit is due . Science taught that the world was the centre of the universe . The leading scientists convinced churchmen to take allegorical passages of the Bible and re-interpret them as literal . The ancient Greeks , who were esteemed in Europe as the pre-eminent scientists of their day believed this . They also believed that people were made up of four elements . And taught this . Scientists backed up racism `` No rational man ( writes Thomas Huxley , a contemporary evolutionist ) , cognizant of the facts , believes that the average Negro is the equal , still less the superior , of the white man . And if this be true , it is simply incredible that , when all his disabilities are removed , and our prognathous relative has a fair field and no favor , as well as no oppressor , he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival , in a contest which is to be carried out on by thoughts and not by bites. `` ( Thomas H. Huxley , `` Lay Sermans , Addresses and Reviews `` ( New York : Appleton , 1871 ) p. 20 . Huxley was arguing that blacks could not compete intellectually with Caucasians , even under equal and fair conditions . ) '' http : //www.goodschools.com/darwin.htm What then is your point ?"
