Worlds in Collision
          By Mike Green

          Book Description:

          The discord between scientific advance and Christian belief is a long and violent one, and somewhat surprisingly many of the wounds inflicted on the authority of the Church have come at the hands of those who had actually been trained (Copernicus, Kepler, Campanella, and Darwin among them) to protect it. This was very much an inside job. Worlds in Collision looks at many different aspects of this miracle that is existence; the Earth and its place in the universe, the plants and animals upon its surface, the rocks that lie beneath us, and finally how the whole entity was brought into being. It details the disparate viewpoints taken by scientists and men of the cloth, and the often bloody outcomes that resulted. It covers such episodes as: The torching of Benedictine monk Giordano Bruno by the Holy Inquisition for suggesting that civilisations might exist on other planets, and that these might have their own deities. The brutal murder of Michael Servetus by the Calvinists, for propounding the view that the heart was merely a pump for the circulation system, and not the vehicle of the soul. The imprisonment and torture of Franciscan friar Roger Bacon, for trying to explain the worldly sources of certain miracles. The sad tale of the priest Giulio Cesare Vanini, who had his tongue ripped out for questioning Christian doctrine on the origins of humankind.
