→‎Galileo vs. Kepler: reply
Line 107: Line 107:     
It seems to be unfair to scold Galileo for teaching ''geometry to medical students so that they could use astronomy and astrology in the practice of medicine!'', while you don't mention that Kepler's main revenues stemmed from casting horoscopes for emperor Rudolf II.

: Interesting tidbit about Kepler, but I wasn't intended to "scold" Galileo but was merely giving a flavor for what science and medicine were like then.  Kepler earning money from the emperor is less telling.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:45, 26 March 2009 (EDT)
