Sungenis does not have it quite right, but he has a good point. Our current apostasy can be traced back to the general acceptance of the Copernican Principle as a philosophical system. Rather than retain the philosophical viewpoint of the Bible, that the earth is the reference point for reality, church people began to judge the earth from an arbitrary and imaginary point in space. The King James Bible was no longer the standard of truth, and it was replaced by pseudoscience.
Getting church people to emotionally defend the perspective of earth as just an insignificant planet in a vast universe teeming with intelligent life was a great victory for atheism.
