ukit, in the middle ages and well into the Renaissance, the Roman Catholic Church did teach geocentrism, but it was not based upon the Bible. They didn't have the faculties to know otherwise. Similarly, Darwin might have drawn some radically different conclusions had he known that the cell was more than just a blob of gelatin with a dark spot in the center, but alas... he only had a light microscope. My point is, it's fallacious to draw a comparison of medieval Catholics squelching Galileo to modern scientists who are discovering, thru modern means, that Darwin was tragically off-base in his hypotheses. The "overwhelming majority" of the scientific community who embrace macroevolution are losing their adherents, and quicker than you might realize. And this is due to current scientific discovery, not religious dogma. It's time to let go of old ideas and look at what science is actually observing. And it is observing an intelligent design to the biological world. Furthermore, the "empirical evidence" you mention amounts to a handful of small bone fragments, which have been extremely controversial since their discovery, which are interpreted thru the lens of naturalism.
