Galileo

By some circuitous route (doesn't matter), I ended up on his wiki page. This particular quote, like Ruby Begonia, strikes a familiar note.

Galileo's championing of Copernican heliocentrism was met with opposition from within the Catholic Church and from some astronomers. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that his opinions contradicted accepted Biblical interpretations

He wasn't burned at the stake, as was Bruno and some, according to the wiki narrative, viewed his handling as cowardly.

Will the Evangelical Reactionary Radical Right Wingnuts under Garfield 2.0 deal with the Smart and Scientific Set the same way? What's your bet?
