"A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge." -Carl Sagan

Remember Julian II
On this date, June 26, 363 AD, Julian II died in battle. The Wikipedia has a pretty good entry on him. The best book I've read on Julian is "The Last Pagan: Julian the Apostate and the Death of the Ancient World. The author of the book has a great blog loaded with information on the emperors of Rome. He currently features some fascinating YouTube clips.
