Not HEARsay, sweetie. Heresy.

Free thought is heresy. Open questioning is heresy. Not blindly accepting what was once written in a certain book is heresy.
So in short - yes.
Which is why it's such a great thing.

Often in the past scienctists were viewed as heretics. Galileo, for example. Nowadays there is a separation of the two.

From the point of view of any particular religion, it can be said that science is heresy.
Now let's take a look, from the perspective of science, what implications or credibility would such a negative characterization have?
None, zip, nada. Thanks for playing, though.

No. But scientists have been trying to prove that God doesn't exist. This comes from within themselves.
One scientist may study something and see the perfect creating hand of God, another studying the same thing will try to prove evolution. Evolution= no Creator.
No Creator= no accountability
No accountability= man in charge of his own life.
This is what they really want.

This is a ridiculous question. Is math evil? Is historical study immoral? I'd better start burning all my books, because they might cause me to think for my self and question everything! Aaaaaah!

It might be the means of revealing God through the workings of the universe so to try and undermine science is to insult God.

Yes, and many scientist burned because of their research. Galileo barely escaped it. He had to officially renounce his heretic theories claiming that the Earth was not the center of the universe.

I can understand someone posing that question in the 16th or even 17th century, but now? That doesn't make sense.

No, science is the effort to determine the underlying patterns behind observable data.
