Older or theological theories of earth might seem fanciful or utterly fantastic to us.
Consider Burnet's theory of earth for example.
It was a fairly rationalist theory for 1681, even though it was based on the Bible.
It's not always religion that obstructs science.
Mostly it is dogmatists and antirationalists, rather than theists, that try to suppress science.
