Echoing Galileo

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know, the more I want to learn.

I've never read much in this area before. A lot of it is really resonating with something buried deep within me.

Galileo for example, I have never read much of anything by or about this man.
And yet I can echo what I am reading.

"that the universe is an open book but, “One cannot understand it unless one first learns to understand the language and recognize the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language.…”

"Science does not undermine the existence of God, but rather reinforced it... When looking at the spinning planets, he could hear God's voice in the music of the sphere. Science and religion are not enemies, but rather allies - two different languages telling the same story, a story of symmetry and balance ... night and day ... hot and cold ... the endless contest of light and dark."

The papal commission how many centuries later that said he was “a sincere believer ... more perceptive in this regard than the theologians who opposed him.”

Even Einstein said, "The more I learn about the Universe, the more I know there is a God"

Open your eyes and be amazed at what you might see.
Don't believe everything you think is there.
