[truxillogical]

One of my best friends is Lutheran and very proud of it, so I get to hear a lot about how awesome Luther was. And I'll admit, he did point out some serious Not Good Things that were going down in the Catholic church at the time. But yeah, not exactly a flawless beacon there, either.

IIRC, in that same time period, or a little bit afterwards, men studying to be priest were actually required to study sciences, especially earth sciences. There's a lovely church in England that's built around the whole concept that geology is a metaphor for humanity--that is (and it's been ages since Art History, so I'm paraphrasing what I remember) that as the human race itself ages, our minds and our ability to grasp the workings of the universe also advances, and this--to the minds of the priests at the time (or at the very least, to William Butterfield, the architect)--is part of God's plan, that mankind's knowledge of God becomes more complex and nuanced with every new discovery.

Er, the point being, more or less, that two thousand years ago, people really didn't have the science to grasp ideas like germs and evolution and so faith had to be expressed in terms that they understood, but that faith can evolve with human knowledge.

Anyway.
