Intellectual Humility: A Guiding Principle For The Skeptical Movement?

[Fake Messiah]

The comic book version of the Galileo trial which has been repeated as evidence that religion is intrinsically opposed to science is largely false. It was a unique case, was due largely to stubbornness and personality conflict on both sides, and included far more than mere opposition to new science.

Galileo was stubborn?

Here is a partial list of Catholic clergymen who made a significant contribution to math or science:

So what? This doesn't prove Catholicism is pro science.
You can't be pro science because you are only sometimes pro some science and forbid all other science that you don't like because it conflicts with your anti science magic book, and also, at the same time, promote pseudoscience (like exorcism, faith healing, creationism in any form, carpenter walking on water). Just like someone can't be a historian if he denies that holocaust happened and claims how faeries and giants lived in the past. Or someone can't be a geographer just because he acknowledges existence of Europe and Asia, but denies existence of Africa, and also claims Lemuria exists.

When avid Christian Isaac Newton said that he stood on the shoulders of giants, these are some of the giants he had in mind.

Not even remotely, here's what James Gleick wrote:

"Isaac Newton said he had seen farther by standing on the shoulders of giants, but he did not believe it. He was born into a world of darkness, obscurity, and magic; led a strangely pure and obsessive life, lacking parents, lovers, and friends; quarreled bitterly with great men who crossed his path; veered at least once to the brink of madness; cloaked his work in secrecy; and yet discovered more of the essential core of human knowledge than anyone before or after."
