I think it kind of amusing that a religion which at the most charitable promoted the belief that the earth was the center of the universe and as late as the late 15th century prosecuted as heretics anyone who dared to make claim otherwise. It kind of leaves the religion and it's entire belief system on pretty shaky ground. Especially when you have to rely on the accuracy and integrity of the religion since few others in the world were even literate, much less educated.
