And really, who are we to say what another person's truth should be?

Hypatia was a philosopher and mathematician who lived in Alexandria, Egypt around 350-400 AD. At one time she was the librarian at the Library of Alexandria, the greatest collection of books in the ancient world. The library was burned during her tenure.

I don't believe she would have questioned another person's truth, but she did note:

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies.
To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing.
The child's mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be relieved of them in later years.

She is thought to have solved the mystery of planetary orbits 1200 years before Kepler, but most of what she discovered was lost when a mob killed her and destroyed her works. Likely for voicing statements such as the one above, which did not go over well with the growing Christian community in Alexandria at the time.
