For the life of me, I cannot visualize scientists wanting to or having sufficient authority to burn creationists at the stake.

Have you read the book “Joan of Arc” by Mark Twain? It isn’t humorous. Twain wrote it as a serious biography based on facts from the national archives of France.

Joan of Arc was murdered by a Catholic bishop.

Joan of Arc was later canonized because she was responsible for the crowning of her French King, and he didn’t like critics saying he wore his crown thanks to a witch.

People always forget just how awful humans smell when on fire.

Interesting — I’ll try to find that book and read it.

Thanks!
