The Inquisition was an idea of the science establishment?

No one's too ignorant to know what the science establishment of the middle ages was... I'll politely assume your question was rhetorical.

There were some few accomplishments by the science establishment of the middle ages, but their ability to use the force of law to silence dissident teachings used to be blamed by post-enlightenment scientists for the paucity of those accomplishments.

I guess there's been some recent advance in political science that has shown their way was best after all.

That's part of the "creationist history" which will replace regular history once the theocrats have finished destroying science in schools.
