OMG! I have always argued that science and religion need not be at war with one another. Is Aldous Huxley a descendant of Thomas H? Seems Aldous had to find something bigger and greater than a simplistic materialistic world with no spiritual value.
It's really partial . Galileo did have to face the Inquisition. Copernicus' heliocentrism was initially ignored by the Church but then condemned etc... those are historical facts
