I agree. Discussing astronomy without being able to refer to its historic roots, which ARE religious, is like trying to learn French cuisine without being able to mention butter and eggs, simply because their use might offend some sensibilities.

Religion, Astrology, Astronomy are all in the same bread basket historically speaking (Imho). As long as it stays respectful and somewhat funny ;) David On 12/14/10 1:47 PM, Kim wrote:
I didn't think that discussing how religious views impact the science of astronomy and vice versa was inappropriate for this list.

OK folks, I'm going to stop checking this email address for a few weeks until this philosophical thread drops off the boards again. I'll check in around New Years. Most of you have my phone number and real email address, if anything important comes up.
Have fun, see ya.
