Well ... Let's look at the record:

"Consuming this herb will cure your ailment." = Satan! <Couple of years later> Oh, we were wrong. Soooorry!

"The world isn't flat." = Satan! <Couple of years later> Oh, we were wrong. Soooorry!

"The earth is not the center of the universe." = Satan! <Couple of years later> Oh, we were wrong. Soooorry!

"Microscopic organisms get into your body and make you ill." = Satan! <Couple of years later> Oh, we were wrong. Soooorry!

"When creatures mate they pass on their genetic traits to their offspring." = Satan! <Couple of years later> Oh, wait ... this one still hasn't fully taken hold yet.

The track record so far shows that, "If we don't understand it and it's not specifically listed in the bible it's Satan." holds true the vast majority of the time. Hence, I think it applies to your question as well.
