Much of the commonplace science that we take for granted today was put forth long ago by the old guys at great risk to their reputations and lives.

Finally, in 1992, three years after Galileo Galilei's namesake spacecraft had been launched on its way to Jupiter, the Vatican formally and publicly cleared Galileo of any wrongdoing. Galileo defended heliocentrism, and claimed it was not contrary to those Scripture passages.

Some people today still insist that the moon emits light because the Bible says so.
