Star Light Star Bright...
Galileo receives a warning from Cardinal Robert Bellarmine that he should not hold or defend the Copernican doctrine that Earth revolves about the sun. Somewhere in the world someone has cured cancer, stopped the AIDS virus, and figured out how they built the pyramids...again. All these things are lost of course and rediscovered somewhere else, and lost, and so on, and so on. Some ideas make it into the public light and are put forward based on the good it will bring to society. Sometimes our spirit is not ready to hear what our head has to say. And of course the reverse is true that sometimes our head is not ready to hear what our spirit has to say...or we would all be the same religion.
