Ah, you mean that bit where he pointed out how the Catholic
Church has historically resisted scientific progress?

Not a single word of which (that he said) as any historical
basis. Bruno wasn't burned at the stake for saying the earth
reovlved around the sun, he was burned at the stake because he
was a violent asshole who went to considerable trouble to get
burned at the stake.

He was burned for heresy. For thought crime. Not for violence.

Certainly not for science, which he never did. Glad you agree that
Neil theAss Tyson's a lying douchebag.

Tyson didn't identify him as a scientist. A major part of his heresy
was for supporting the new scientific understanding of his day. The
Church was killing people who advanced accurate knowledge. That was
Tyson's point, and it was well made.
