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.
You play light and loose with someone else's job.
The modern day academic equivalent of Galileo's heresy was the job harassment Dr. von Sternberg got. Sorry, we don't burn at the stake today.
If the doctor worked in Political Science and espoused conservative views for which he was then harassed, would you feel the same way?
This article is pretty close to that, what happened to this fellow and he is not even an advocate of "Intelligent Design."
His great sin was apparently not working hard enough to suppress the heresy.
What you don't understand is that science is not religion and your religious fanatcism is as detrimental, or more accurately trivial and superfluous, as the heretics you live to, and love to, battle.
There are you religious fanatics like you arguing about how many angels dance on the head of a pin. You say 13, they say 14. So one guy in the 14 camp lets one of the heretics write 14 angels can dance on a pin in an obscure and unimportant magazine that usually only publishes from the 13 view and the 13 camp decides to blackball him and destroy his livlihood.
It's all so pathetic. It reminds of libertarians, Ann Rand worshippers and also Cindy Sheehan type freaks.
And there are those who are actually study the pins and learn and discover things. Look in to it.
