    A beautiful quote by Sir Isaac Newton. Has nothing to do with literalism.
    More to the deeper hidden truths.

    Education can also be a stumbling block along the lines of the wonderful points made by IONSHIELD. It can be a double edged sword. The people who get sucked into the most appalling sects are generally intelligent. There were professionals who died with Jim Johns. Professionals handed their 13 year old daughters over to David Koresh. Highly educated people died with David Applewhite.

    My father was uneducated but he never suffered fools lightly and had the best bullshit detecter I ever came across.

    Sanctus Simplictus, I will use the subjective pronoun "I" in future.

    By education I do not mean only academic. Academic education is no safeguard against believing the unbelievable.
