2000AD- Aliens land, the church cannot find anything on Aliens in the bible.
Also, if we're talking about major things that happened, I just think Galieo being on trial with the church for the issue of the sun could be added... but it's in 1633... but maybe we could pretend like its 1500.
The article (and the things that Phyllis Tickle has been speaking and writing about lately) isn't really about "major things" that happen. It's more about the enormous shifts that happen where one form of Christianity emerges and becomes the most predominant expression of the faith, even though the others don't disappear.
In 300 to 500, Christianity really grew into a major world religion, in 1000 it was RCC that moved to the forefront, and then in 1500 Protestantism moved into that predominant expression spot.
It's interesting to consider where/how the Church will move/shift/change next.
