Theologians.... failed to grasp the profound non-literal meaning of the Scriptures when they describe the physical structure of the universe. This led them unduly to transpose a question of factual observation into the realm of faith... (and) to a disciplinary measure from which Galileo 'had much to suffer'.

~ Cardinal Paul Poupard (uit 1992, als uitkomst van het onderzoek naar de beroemde rechtzaak van Galileo Galilei in 1633!)

Citaat

Only because the people see
So much in land and sky
For which they do not know the cause,
They think Divinities are working there.
If they could but see that
Nothing can be created from nothing,
Then they would advance one more step
Toward the answer that they seek:
Those eternal elements became
Everything that is,
Without interference from Gods.

~ Lucretius, 60 v. Chr.
