It's amazing that they don't realise what a colossal 'self-own' it is. Galileo's claim was backed by reason & evidence, & was not disputed by fellow experts but by people attached to superstitious dogma.

Indeed. Also, it was the Catholic Church, not other scientists, doing the persecuting because Galileo had broken with religious dogma.
