scientists must work within the constraints placed upon them. so if you live in a culture that believes some women are witches and must be burned at the stake you'd be well advised not to push too hard on the status quo. smile

also, not to pick nits but the source you cited is heavily biased toward judeo-christian religious views. as already shown in the Einstein quotes, these sources are great for supporting one's opinion but not so great for getting to the truth of the matter!
