You’ve failed in your definition of the word “church”. But I guess it’s correct in its connotation so I’ll let it stand. It was the prevailing position of the Catholic Church and then the churches that were spawned by the Catholic church. The Baptists and others like them never sought to have coercive power and refused it when it was offered.
As for creationists’ lack of tolerance. HA!! We just want equal time for our money. You force us to pay for teaching we find ridiculous so we try to get an alternative taught, since we’re paying for the classrooms. We even offer to have it taught at our expense. We get pushed out of the classrooms by government orders and told our position isn’t science while the evidence that our position is indeed science isn’t allowed to be heard. Then when we defend our position we’re told we’re intolerant.
A-freaking-mazing!!
So are you denying that the Christian church(es) at that time and earlier believed that the earth was the center of everything and based that belief on the Bible?
Exactly.
It's the Christian curriculum that teaches BOTH evolution and creation in the science texts, something the evoatheist liberals won't allow for public schools and everyone else's kids who go there.
They aren't just satisfied with opting their kids out of the creation section of origins in schools, they have to sue the schools into submission to have evolution only taught.
So much for tolerance.

Not to mention, Christians pay for their failed godless liberal debacles long after we’ve left!
