A good example is how the Church dealt with Galileo. Galileo had some ideas which contradicted official church teachings--for example the idea that the earth revolves around the sun and not vice versa. When Galileo conducted experiments to show evidence (and sometimes proof) for his theories, he was persecuted, censored, and put under house arrest. This served to discourage scientific inquiry, and irrational beliefs and superstitions were enforced at the expense of authentic scientific knowledge. The suppression of knowledge also set back technological development.
