Was Galileo a Martyr for Science?
User Poll

It seems as though Galileo has become a martyr in the name of science, struck down by religious bigotry and ignorance even though he was only trying to advance our knowledge about our world and universe. Yet how much of the traditional account is true and how much is mythology?
