Scientific method proves order cannot exist w/o intelligence

PR check again.. Galileo didn't actually say that.. or there is no evidence of him saying that. Not that it makes it any less true.

I'm sure he also shared an augustinean approach to non literal translations of scripture. I'm fairly certain that both you and Void aren't literalists, but I could be wrong. If you are then why quote Galileo?

It is probably legend that he said that literally. But it captures his main point of opposition against the stance of the church. Also this sentence has become a reference to indicate that to forbid a statement is not an argument against the possible truth of the content of that statement.

Literalism was in the behaviour of the church when it came down to Psalm 93:1. If the church had given an metaphoric explanation of psalm 93 there would have been no issue with Galileo in the first place.
