You're begging the question since Servetus wasn't prosecuted for his theory on blood. Servetus was an accomplished theologian and his writings promoting a pantheistic anti-trinitarianism got him in trouble. His scientific speculations caused him no problems, which if anything bolsters my argument. Servetus was brought to trial in the civil courts of Geneva. Calvin had been instrumental in separating church and state in Geneva and is credited as having created the model for modern government. Under old Roman law heresy was a crime equal to sedition. I'm familiar with the case since I used to delight in tormenting my Calvinist pals over Servetus until they dug up enough about the case to spoil the game.
