Glen Stanton, Idiot Extraordinaire

On a wingnut radio show, Glen Stanton of Focus on the Family said this:
It was Christians and a Christian worldview that created scientific investigation; it has its roots in that.
Galileo Galilei must be rolling in his grave. Christianity has always fought science, tooth and nail. Faith is the enemy of all new knowledge -- because facts can be troublesome. They have this ornery tendency to conflict with the bible. I can't imagine why.

Hat tip to Ed Brayton.
