Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion

Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion edited by Ronald L. Numbers started out as a fantastic history of science and religion. Mr. Numbers and the authors of each of the myths, debunked a number of myths about the connections of science and religion. Some of the myths, I was aware of as myths, and that they had been proven wrong. It was interesting however to read briefs on them. I actually didn't know, or more likely didn't remember, the myth that Galileo had gone to jail for his beliefs. I really enjoyed reading each little brief, and learning something new about the connection that science and religion has shared.
