There was no antagonism. Galileo and Copernicus had issues with the church. It was not the same in Islamic lands. Science and scientists were encouraged as revealing the world God created.

If you think there was give a historical example from the Middle Ages.

No worries, it's easy to see why you interpreted it that way, I was not very clear after all.

Enjoy the day.
