Galileo had a choice. A choice means freedom. Absolutely the Nazis should not have been tried for war crimes. The retroactive application of laws was totally unjust, but is the way of victors in any war. However, the case of Galileo and the case of the Nazis is non sequitur and a false analogy. Have you any idea of logic???? These fables you recite have nothing to do with the reality of events at the time. Why believe such outlandish myths, then reject Noah and Jonah? You prefer recent myths to ancient ones? Dick Jones
