Considering Galileo was in trouble for his celestial observations, I think pete is trying, rather unsuccessfully to be revisionist.

That he picks on a well recorded trial just shows the shallowness of his argument.

By the way pete, you keep falling at the first hurdle, calling observation "belief." Just because you have to cram things into a "belief" it doesn't mean that normal rational intelligent people have to.

You're the one with the delusion, remember?
