I think Mezz's argument points out the fundamental fallacy (as well as the origins) of organized religion. Religion is there to provide simple answers to the masses on complex questions that have eluded scientific query to that point. The trouble comes when science proves something that runs counter to long-held religious beliefs (flat earth, earth as center of the universe, creationism ...).
