If any of these Vatican-approved exorcists forcibly confine a legal adult, I will laugh and cheer when they are thrown in jail, and the church has to pay massive settlements. And if they touch a kid, they’d better start running very fast. (I’d have thought that the Vatican has learned a thing or two about touching kids. Let’s hope so.)
to be fair, people in the ancient world didn’t understand the universe in the same manner as we do today - they didn’t and couldn’t know it’s scope and size.
His result was still markedly too small; but I’d give Archimedes at least partial credit for The Sand Reckoner. Start with mathematical notation that was pretty horrible even for pedestrian uses and bodge it until you have something you think adequate for expressing the amount of sand required to fill the universe.
You know, training as an exorcist sounds cool: Badass robes, learning how to fling burning holy water, excellent Latin catchphrases, and ancient relic hunting.
But you just know it’s probably just a three day PowerPoint course at a local community center given by a guy named Alvin who has no time for your chipmunk jokes.
