(Unfortunately half their adherents seem to be running for political office, here in the U.S.) Surreyman didn't write that. No, he included it in his sig, and correctly attributed it to Galileo. (Does that mean he doesn't agree with the statement? Or that it is less true?)

He did not provide the attribution, I did. (Does that mean he doesn't agree with the statement? Or that it is less true?) I can't imagine including someone's sig file in a response means anything. But I've been surprised many times before by the "meaning" some are capable of culling from apparently empty vessels. Check US evangelists for more of that. -- I do not feel obligated to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use. -- Galileo
