That's the exact reason I can't name them; they got killed by the church before they could get famous.

- Natsu 13y agoThere's a list with all of the names inside Russel's Teapot.
- ivanca 13y agoNo sir, is closer than that: http://listverse.com/2011/06/08/top-10-shameful-moments-in-catholic-history/ http://listverse.com/2011/06/08/top-10-shameful-moments-in-c... And this are the know ones, if you don't think there is a single one outside those, you sir, are delusional (or just biased).
- Natsu 13y agoThat does not appear to be a list of scientists.
- ivanca 13y agoUps, wrong link, it was meant to be: http://www.wired.com/2012/06/famous-persecuted-scientists/ http://www.wired.com/2012/06/famous-persecuted-scientists/
- Natsu 13y agoMy original comment was more about how you excused yourself out of providing proof, rather than stating that there were no such people. For anyone curious about the contents of your link, here's a TL;DR of the people listed: Rhazes - Muslims beat him over the head with his own book. Crazy stuff. Sevetus - Executed for theological reasons. Ironically beaten to his scientific discovery by a Muslim, Ibn-al-Nafis who figured it out some 300 years earlier. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_circulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_circulation Galileo - Well known, put under house arrest. Domagk - Nazis kept him from getting his Nobel prize. Einstein - Nazis got mad at him after he left the country. Turing - Given hormone injections.
