I had written "The ancient Greeks had a philosophy of science that had two
parts. Part 2 is the one I usually refer to in discussions here -- it says
"Ascribe nothing to the gods."

Darn it, I wish I could. Most of my books are in storage for a couple years
-- that does not mean I could find it, if course!
My not-very-reliable memory says it was in a history book by someone whose
last name was "Fredericks," or close to that. I also seem to remember the
reference he made was to Epicurious (sp?).
It is possible I have a reference somehere in the nearly 10,000 files on my
computer. When I return home (on te "road" right now, I'll have a look.
