Quote by: Aeris  To be fair, those deal with punishment of blasphemy, not what constitutes blasphemy. I'm unfamiliar with the Bible, but do you think you could find any verses about what constitues blasphemy? I of course, will look for myself - but that's kind of like sending me to Madrid without a map and not being able to speak Spanish and expecting me to be able to find my way around.  | Blasphemy is defined by those who are in power. Galileo, perhaps the greatest scientist of his age, was punished for questioning the established order. The Bible say that God built a foundation for the Earth, so there how dare Galileo claim otherwise? He was clearly guilty of blasphemy. Scriptural References Relevant to the Trial of Galileo
