Even granting your major premise that Einstein was turned into a myth much as the Church turned Aristotle into a Myth, it behooves us not to hold the original person responsible for that**. If there has been myth-making, it is up to us to break that mesmerization with critical thinking.

And in that light, we ought to stop attaching the mythos of earth-centric cosmology to Aristotle and rebrand him as the father of reason and science.

I would suggest that the dogmatization of Aristotleanism by the Catholic Church was due to the problem of how to handle Aquinas. This guy let reason back into Europe, but attempted to retain faith intact nevertheless. So the Church seized upon the cosmology as dogma rather than reason as modus operandi.

And please note the other pole of this thinking: it would be a mistake to reject Einstein and relativity simply because he DID become dogma.

** i will modify the above with the sidenote that in fact Einstein may indeed have personally contributed to his own status as a God through 'failure to demur.'
