Today we laugh at the smug arrogance and closed-mindedness of the Catholic hierarchy in Galileo's age, as they refused to look through his telescope to see the evidence with their own eyes. But today the vast majority behaves exactly the same way when asked to look through a revealing revisionist telescope...
