Unbelievable reveals Why the "Dark Ages" never happened Why we didn\'t need Christopher Columbus to prove the earth was round Why Copernicus would be shocked to learn that he supposedly demoted humans from the center of the universe What everyone gets wrong about Galileo\'s clash with the Church, and why it matters today Why the vastness of the universe does not deal a blow to religious belief in human significance How the popular account of Giordano Bruno as a "martyr for science" ignores the fact that he was executed for theological reasons, not scientific ones How a new myth is being positioned to replace religion--a futuristic myth that sounds scientific but isn\'tIn debunking these myths, Keas shows that the real History is much more interesting than the common narrative of Religion at war with science.
The seven myths, Keas shows, amount to little more than Religion bashing--especially -Christianity bashing.
He also shows how these Myths have proliferated over the past four centuries and exert so much influence today, infiltrating Science textbooks and popular -culture.
Michael Newton Keas, a historian of science, lays out the facts to show how far the conventional wisdom departs from reality.
Unbelievable explodes seven of the most popular and pernicious Myths about Science and religion.
There\'s just one problem: these stories are pure myth.
That -Religion is anti-science.
And what do the stories say?That Science and Religion have been at war with each other for centuries.
Maybe you heard them from Bill Nye the "Science Guy," or celebrity astronomer Neil de Grasse Tyson, or the late Carl Sagan.
They\'re everywhere.
