Re: God and logic
The Galileo comment is false. He was not put under house arrest for his scientific work. He was put under house arrest for formenting rebellion in the Papal States during a critical time. His books insulted the current Pope and were very scandalous. He was allowed to continue his research and given the provisions to do so. And his "jail" was a rather nice villa.
To say Galileo was persecuted by the Church is a misnomer and just another bit of really bad Protestant inspired mishistory.
