Throughout history, the Christian Church has put up a bitter and persistent opposition to astronomy, geology, biology, paleontology and evolution and has banned or prevented the investigation or practice of medicine, life insurance, agriculture, the census, printing, and the use of steam and electricity. This social history of repression is explored in McCabe's well-documented book.
