heretic, heuretic

Heretic or heretic means member of a church who holds unorthodox beliefs, or a nonconformist member of an organization --
In the Middle Ages, he would have been burned for a heretic.
He's a heretic; he has denied one of the articles of faith.

Heuretic or heuretic describes something related to invention or discovery --
When we want to solve a problem, we take a heuretic view of it.
Is a heuretic outlook compatible with a faith-based philosophy?

Now that you know that, you can say--
"This is supposedly a heuretic age, when a person with a new idea is not denounced as a heretic."
