If the bible makes claims that are subject to science, it's the bible and theologians that are outside their bailiwick.
-and that, right there, was what the church took issue with. Not just with galileo, with anyone. They had interpreted passages of magic book to mean so and so and such and such testable claims, and they declared it taboo and heresy to say that the world was otherwise. Not otherwise than some specific thing, but otherwise than whatever they happened to be saying at the time. End of.
