Galileo on critical thinking

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."

It implies that even if you are an intelligent designer or simply religious, it is possible or even likely that your mind is there to question things.

If you are not religious well, then its there to keep you alive and you might as well use it to do so. Since your here, and you don't know what's there, you might as well be practical about it and use what you've got.
