I don't mind a bit about the ancestor worship thing. Its kind of keeping things all in the family, and makes people aware of where we all came from, even if our ancestors made huge blunders, or were downright malicious/evil. I admit now to having real difficulty following Bruno's mathematical theology, which is not his fault, but instead my inability to comprehend his math. Now, which is true, or rather what is probable, with the universe that scientists can detect? This seems to be more important than math, although the work of mathematicians is always predictive, and somehow senses the universe, sometimes centuries before scientific observations discover things.
