Other Scientific (and Biblical theories) that have been overturned: “Steady state theory of the universe”- held until the mid 1960s by most cosmologists Bad air and “four humors” causing infection rather than germs.

Pre-Copernicus idea that the Earth was center of solar system and universe (held by scientists and theologians) Humility about all of our interpretations is needed.
