The post from Donuel above is interesting. Newton was branded a heretic, despite spending most of his life in religious research, trying to find the ark of the covenant. Yet The Principia describes the fundamental aspects of some of Donuel's research even though, and this is the point, it has been refined (and aspects totally debunked) since.

I doubt a religious text as sacred to religious people could get debunked by themselves in the same way science has dismissed absolute position, a key plank of The Principia.

There is a wonderful thread in this list regarding when a cricket ball can get swing in cloudy weather. An absolute fact, you can see it happening and yet hasn't been adequately explained yet.

Perhaps the cricketers on Atlantis noticed the same thing?

This whole thread is reminiscent of any argument of religion versus science. Some on the science side refusing to factor in fantasy and some on the religious side seeing their text as fact rather than a set of example tales in which to base moral judgement.
