Apart from equating crackpot G5 fallacies to the work of Galileo and Einstein you are wrong on three other points:

 

1. Galileo was not challenging the science of his age, he was using the science of his age and created a challenge to the religious doctrine of his age.

 

2. Einstein was using the science and mathematics of his age to expand science and create a new scientific theory.

 

3. Both Galileo and Einstein did their science, spent years reworking, refining and verifying their science - then they published their work.

Just plain wrong. True, Galileo's suffered most flak from the Catholic church. But Galileo and Einstein were also rubbished by contemporaries among the scientific community..

 

Oh, and if you want a contemporary example of a religion seeking to impose its will on scientific enquiry, try being a global warming (oops! I mean climate change) sceptic or (God forbid!) a denier.
