I would consider one more than enough.

child rape: http://heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?collection=journals&handle=hein.journals/geolr36&div=17&id=&page=

the page is 411. (don't want to mess up the url)

Actually I don't see anything in my original post that was alluding toward conceptual perfection thus negative on your statement of it being an ideal sir. If anything it was a criticism in the form of a question.

As for the flat earth piece I've already said what I can about this with regards to Galileo as my example. If it would suffice then I'll use a different example. Carl Wilhelm Sheele discovered oxygen but found himself at the wrong end of common knowledge and had to flee his mother land for America.

So in otherwords... if someone who is raped is then thrown in jail because she "didn't seem credible" and then was later exonerated, that would be one too many and we should get rid of penalties for anyone that makes a false accusation roght?

Er, Galieo had nothing to do with the earth being flat though.  It was an arguement between Heliocetnraism, (The earth is round, everything rotates it.),  Tychonian Geocentrism (Some planets rotate around the sun, some around the eart, the sun rotates around the earth)   and Geocentrism.

The first two were scientific equals at the time and mostly taught in universities while the third was what the Church maintained, but was content ignoring until Galieo started insulting church figures.


The point of the example must not be as clear as I thought then.

Galileo, and why did he start offending church figures? Nevermind the example was besides the point, I gave a much less disputable one anyway and again the point isn't the discoveries.

Hey if the ruling sticks with you so be it again it's an ethical difference.

As far as the rulings logic goes, the woman should never have been sent to jail because a 15 year old wanted to have sex with her -- bet she wished she had that judge for the rape trial.

Woops, my error it was Joseph Priestley, sorry about that again my error. John Adams gave him protection in the US from the church of England. (Easy for me to confuse the two.)
