<Would be nice if scientists who think that would say so publicly.>

To do so would be to weigh in where they don't belong... just like Dennett and Dawkins... and also leave them open to the appearance that they too want to be "rock star scientists"... or are jelous. Good scientists are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing. Ignoring these topics. JMO of course.

Well obviously, I disagree. They're letting the enterprise be hijacked imo.

If Galileo was only the most public example of a scientist constrained by the church, there'd be a lot of other examples. How come people don't know all the other examples?

As for the comments about Catholicism, I won't deal with them. I'm not Catholic myself and don't have inside knowledge of that church. I will say that Catholicism is only part of the Christian world.
