You should install following rpm forcefully to get google earth working for you on Fedora 20

https://dl.google.com/dl/earth/client/current/google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

and install it as " sudo rpm -ivh google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm --force"

I think that bin file is old. I see bin file showing its for version GoogleEarthLinuxPlus-6.0.3.2197-installer whereas rpm installs google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64

also note that above rpm is not following Fedora packaging guidelines and installs /usr/bin directory which is not good as its already owned by filesystem package. That is why we need to use --force to install this rpm.
