Scientists who develop knowledge and then the results of their findings are contrary to the teachings of religion will certainly be considered as crazy opinions. The firmness of the church doctrine that made Galileo considered insane. They have planted the doctrine flat and the earth as the center of the circulation of the solar system while according to Galileo is the opposite, the earth is round and earth that surrounds the sun.
One thing that will certainly damage the teachings of the church. If this continues, the church will lose faith. so it's no wonder scientists who bring new schools will be punished. Although in subsequent developments there was a growing awareness that what they had done in the past with scientists was wrong.
Thank you @gooddream for the knowledge
