Galileo, Galileo, Galileo Figaro...

Heh, in one of the lectures for this course there was another quote that I think is the bomb - as in it goes off!

“The intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how heaven goes”.

I think this is so cool! It works both ways too - obviously Galileo was down with the idea that science has its purpose and faith and religion have their other purpose - we can know why because of God, and we can know how because of science. Naturally we won't ever have all the answers to how or why but we can get some and it's up to our own powers of discernment to know which of each is correct ie which religion and which theories or models in science... or maybe it's not our own powers of discernment but those of the Holy Spirit as Galileo says.
