@Ricky156 He was a great Polish scientist, and a faithful Roman Catholic. Irony happens.

One of my favourite wonders. As a kid, games like Civ made me feel there is great purpose in discovery and exploration. Good times :')

@Zekkandgrant13 After he died. All of his works were withheld from publishing prior to his death. The reason he was attacked was not because of what he did, rather it was a challenge to authority.

Great Polish astronomer. Awesome video.

@ShortytheSquirrel doesn't take an observatory to assess what you just said lol. I think I'll refocus my efforts to build the Sistine Chapel...

Kepler was seriously attacked by the church

And he hope that returns the high council too.

Considered the greatest scientist who ever lived, Isaac Newton was also a devout Orthodox Christian. Islam was responsible for the preservation and expansion of classical scientific theories lost in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. Ancient religious centers such as Timbuktu, Tenochtitlan, and Tikal were also centers of scientific exploration into everything from astronomy to mathematics. Food for thought

Best strategy game for PC, ever!
These Wondermovies are much better, then in civilization 3, or civ 4..
Hope they come back in civ 5.
Religion didn't fear science in terms of knowledge, they feared it because the church held the power at that time, and science challenged the churches power over the people's thinking. Religion never claimed it ever hated science for any reason other than that.

He was not killed he did of natural causes. He published his work two months before he died, he did fear being attacked. Though the study of natural sciences at the time was highly encouraged by the church. Not until Galileo did that change, though his arrest was less to do with what was published the Pop was just in a bad mood and needed a whipping boy.
