It used to be, it is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Just because Galileo was a heretic doesn't make every heretic a Galileo.
Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself.
Philosophy was once considered science.
Is it possible that I am not alone in believing that in the dispute between Galileo and the Church, the Church was right and the centre of man's universe is the earth?
'Earth' is a silly name for this planet.
Science is but an image of the truth.
Sciences may be learned by rote, but wisdom not.
As it turns out, what looks like science sometimes is not.
The center line of science literacy - which not many people tell you, but I feel this strongly, and I will go to my grave making this point - is how you think.
Wisdom alone is the science of other sciences.
