- True, but "seeming silly" is not really a very reliable criterion for
- making a final conclusion. One has to realize that the ancient world
- culture was full of people no stupider than those of today. Their
- science was expressed differently, but they were not fools. To
- understand what they wrote, one must accept that it does make sense.

- In truth, I must say yes, the Moon does look like cosmic fire to me. So
- does the earth, for that matter.
