Why does the god of the Bible get a free pass?

Why does modern day science (e.g., evolution) get a free pass?

Evolution actually has been proven.

Also the Bible says the sun revolves around Earth and that Earth is flat.


Where in the bible does it say this?


The Bible doesn't say that. In fact the Bible says the opposite. It says that the world is round (Isaiah 40:22 IIRC). The reality is that ancient people knew the world was round but, outside of a select minor few groups, it was useless knowledge. I mean, they could see eclipses of the moon, ships going over horizons, and conducted actual experiments to prove it. But to a farmer intent on getting the crops in before their lords taxes them such knowledge is pointless. IIRC the 'flat earth' thing was more of an insult than reality. I.E. 'You're people are so dumb they believe the world is flat'. Even for Columbus the issue wasn't a belief of the world being round or not (they knew it was) but, rather, Columbus was basically advocating what was believed to be a suicide journey to cross what was believed to be empty ocean. He believed that the world was both pear-shaped and much smaller than it actually was which lead him to think the journey could be done while science, at the time, said he would starve. Had America not been there science would have been right and Columbus would be remembered only as probably the first to attempt such a foolish crossing.
