Galileo was saying the scientists for the previous 1500 years and the Biblical interpretation of Catholics and Protestants alike were wrong, yet offered insufficient evidence to prove it. He persisted in teaching as fact that which he could not prove, without doubt, was fact. It is for that reason that he got in trouble.

"He persisted in teaching as fact that which he could not prove, without doubt, was fact" Sounds like what the IDists are trying to do.

If "proof was all the Church was after", as you claimed, surely they admitted their error immediately once the proof was offered, right?
How long did that take, again?
