Facebook response to a comment that:
"17 Feb 1600, Giordano Bruno was charged with Heresy by the Catholic Church for:
1. proposing that stars are distant suns
2. these suns could have planets of their own
3. these planets could possibly harbor life
4. communion can't possibly transform wine into the blood of Christ
For these he was burned at the stake and became the first Martyr for science."
This event occurred before Galileo was also accused. He was tried for Heresy by the Catholic Church for proposing the force of Gravity (among other things). Having full knowledge of the execution of Bruno was an influence in Galileo's reaction to recant all his discoveries and live under house arrest for 17 years. At the time of the trial, not one single academic in all of Europe was courageous (or intelligent) enough to testify in behalf of Galileo's theories. The Catholic Christian Church is the enemy of truth. Academia is not much better.
Jesus loves you so much he commands you to be burned alive at the stake for your sins. Amen.
