    Two great people! Sheldrake is a champion in the scientific arena, he is labeled as a heretic even though he is a man of common sense!

    Morphogenetic fields is his jewel of brilliance re-introduced to scientific discourse. Though aonly a handful of scientists will touch it. It violated their Scientism. A religion by any unbiased observation of modern science.

    Any sane person knows the word heretic is used for free thinkers. The origin of the word in Greek means 'choice'. When the desert sky god priests had enough sword power, 'choice' was punishable by death.

    Heresy [N]

    from a Greek word signifying (1) a choice, (2) the opinion chosen, and (3) the sect holding the opinion. In the Acts of the Apostles ( 5:17 ; 15:5 ; Isaiah 24:5 Isaiah 24:14 ; 26:5 ) it denotes a sect, without reference to its character. Elsewhere, however, in the New Testament it has a different meaning attached to it. Paul ranks "heresies" with crimes and seditions ( Galatians 5:20 ). This word also denotes divisions or schisms in the church ( 1 Corinthians 11:19 ). In Titus 3:10 a "heretical person" is one who follows his own self-willed "questions," and who is to be avoided. Heresies thus came to signify self-chosen doctrines not emanating from God ( 2 Peter 2:1 ).
    A better and less confusing breakdown.


    In ancient Greek, the verb hairein, meaning "to take", gave rise to the adjective hairetos "able to choose" and the noun hairesis "the act of choosing".
    In time the noun developed the extended senses of a "a choice", "a course of action", "a school of thought", and "a philosophical or religious sect". Stoicism was considered a hairesis
    Within Judaism, a heresy (our Modern English equivalent and derivative of hairesis) was a religious faction, party, or sect; such as, the Pharisees or Sadducees.
    Applied to such groups, hairesis was used in a neutral, nonpejorative manner.
    In fact, when this Greek noun is used in the New Testament (Bible), it is usually translated as sect.
    By the end of the second century, haeresis (the Latin equivalent) was being applied to an organized body holding a false or sacrilegious doctrine.
    From this use, it took on the sense of "a body of doctrine substantially differing in some aspect from the doctrine taught by the Church".
    The Catholic Church used the Latin haeresis (from the Greek hairesis) for "heresy" and haereticus (from the Late Greek hairetikos, a derivative of hairetos "able to choose") for "heretic".
    These two words were taken into early French as heresie/eresie and heritique/eritique and then into English in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, respectively, as heresy an heretic.
    Their religious senses passed into English as well.
    In Chaucer's time, c. 1385, the noun began to take on a nonecclesiastical use, being applied to any dissenting opinion, belief, or doctrine in any field.
    At about the same time we also find this noun being used for "a school of thought, a sect", echoing the ancient Greek use of hairesis.

    —Excerpts from Webster's Word Histories, Merriam-Webster Inc., Publishers; Springfield, Massachuksetts, 1989.
    Jealous gods to not like any counter views of Creation. Creation of a 'world' is not the same as Creation of an Earth, Nature and genius of it all.

    Priests and kings created the world as we know it through a carefully scripted history. And, their assistants, lawyers and judges.

    Telepathy is impossible...that makes me laugh...any scientist that insists something is impossible is not a real scientist, they are technicians...
