The opponents of Galileo were the Aristotelian Naturalists -- the
Evolutionists of the day, rather, the Theistic Evolutionists. These
are people who twisted the scripture to fit man-made myths and the same
people use the power of the state to oppress ideological opposition.
Just to jog your memory, the Bible was banned in the classroom in the
Holy Roman Empire.
