"Only one view may be presented to society at large: atheistic materialism (which is, by the way, a religion of sorts). "
I agree. The heirs to the supressors of Galileo are now the secular fundamentalists.
Oh, complete horse manure. Try that ridiculous charge again if scientists ever get around to arresting someone for "heresy". Until then, burnings at the stake, inquisitions, arrests for violating dogma, and all that are still the province of the fanatics of the religious variety, including using force of law to outlaw the teaching of evolution in years not-too-distantly past. And you know very well that many would still like to do the same today, if they thought they could get away with it.
