In public schools this applies only to the degree that "what scientists think" is confined, restrained, limited, to their biases. IOW, it applies unless certain scientists suggest Darwinian theory has some explaining to do. Galileo was redressed because he suggested science has a role in determining how the Scriputures should be interpreted. Today science is being redressed because it suggests biblical propositions have little or no basis in reality. A well-rounded educational system will allow the teaching and exposition of more than one point of view. That point seems to be lost on dogmatic evolutionists.

BTW, my reading of history has not revealed that Galileo was threatened with "death by fire."

Well than you'd be mistaken. Geordono Bruno was conflagrated for thought crimes of science much in the same vein as Galileo's. At any rate--I didn't say he was.

Geordono Bruno was conflagrated for thought crimes of science . . .

Whatever. My argument concerns the manner of policing and silencing free thought and expression, not its degree. My assertion stands that dogmatic evolutionists cannot stomach the suggestion that Darwinian evolution has some explaining to do. So much so they would rather file lawsuits than see the subject of ID brought up in an academic context. This does not speak well for their supposed interest in executing the conquest of ignorance.
