  • Okay because Lemmy's being Lemmy and poking holes at your question instead of even trying to provide a straight answer, I'm gonna assume you mean the Abrahamic god and say helocentrism and evolution were both ideas that the catholic church strongly opposed initially. Pretty much anything that says humans aren't super special, actually, tends to not mesh with christian ideology, for obvious reasons. Modern day panpsychist ideas (the thought that consciousness is a fundamental property that becomes more complex with the complexity of the organism, or at the very least that plants and individual cells are conscious) are gaining hold in scientific communities lately and, if sufficiently proven/argued for (because consciousness is notoriously insufficiently defined), it's probably gonna be another X on the accepted christian worldview.

    • There have been plenty of discoveries opposed by religion X. Those historically do not have significant impact on prevalence of such a religion.

      I do think answers explaining why any answer to the original question suffers from logical fallacies are equally good to those that do try to get to the OP's intent, and I think it is good to have both. I do think the literal answers are more "straight" (and I tend to go to the literate mode when talking about science), so that's what I went up with.
