   [The dawn of science denial:]   
      
   The decision [whether to accept the new theory] was not exclusively,   
   or even primarily, a matter for astronomers, and as the debate spread   
   from astronomical circles it became tumultuous in the extreme. To most   
   of those who were not concerned with the detailed study of celestial   
   motions, Copernicus's innovation seemed absurd and impious. Even when   
   understood, the vaunted harmonies seemed no evidence at all. The   
   resulting clamor was widespread, vocal, and bitter.   
   -- T. S. Kuhn, The Copernican Revolution: Planetary Astronomy in the   
   Development of Western Thought, 1957.
