And much of it was based upon pure conjecture. Please not this old 2005 case, again. The judge had an axe to grind and Penn. is a small state. Look around, why didn’t everyone leap at his “wisdom”? Evidence.
I know I'd be shaken up myself, but, Fur Shur, I would not have ruled out the possibility that such a thing could exist given the size and age of this universe.
The judge's reach into the utiity and efficacy of what he construed to be religious beliefs went way beyond the needs of the case. That's why he's usually thought of as a fascist, and most likely the reason no one but "pure thought, true beliefs" types keep bringing that case up.
