All Comments on 'Thanks a lot, Galileo'

Your poem has been mentioned in Monday's New Poems Reviews.

Nice poem. There seems to be alot there, and it gets me thinking... which means success if you ask me. I especially like the first and second sections (although it may be length that is putting me off the other sections)

One small thing that got me though. It wasn't Sartre who said 'God is Dead'. That was Nietzsche, who, like Marx with his Opiate for the masses, saw the Xtian Religion as a crutch for a primitive culture still to learn its own morals. Sartre tried to argue against the existence of God... because he saw the existence of God as being logically incompatible with his vision of mankinds autonomy (God's Omniscience reduced man to an object without freedom). Unfortunately Sartre's arguments suffered from 'Argumentum ad Consequatium' (Appeal to consequences, a logical phallacy whereby the perpetrator points to the disagreeable consequences of a belief as evidence that the belief is false) which left them logically flawed (perhaps you allude to this with your questioning of Sartre's argument if he was an atheist?). Sartre never argued that God was dead, but simply "If man exists, God cannot exist...". However before his death he reverted to Christian Theism....

I only mention this because I liked the first section of the poem so much but felt that this let it down a little.

Good piece nevertheless.
