A few parts of this play

A few parts of this play stuck with me. I liked when Galileo told a man to look through his telescope and challenge him to deny what he saw. People are so keen to believe what they are comfortable with, when the truth is right in front of them, clearly presenting itself. Another part I liked (merely because I had never thought about it before) is when he said that if we were to stand on the moon and look at the earth, it wouldn't necessarily be a complete sphere. Rather, it could be a sliver or half of the earth, just as the moon isn't constantly a full moon. That's really neither here nor there, I just found it interesting.
