Excellent. It's pretty funny (in a tragic sense) to see people in the 21st century genuflecting before Authority as they did hundreds and thousands of years ago without bothering to see if that authority is justified. Someone above said he'd rather believe a stoned Sagan than a... I don't remember the adjective... medved. Typical thoughtlessness. Remember when St. Carlos intoned at the beginning of his program "Cosmos", "The cosmos: all there ever was, is, or shall be"? When he said this he completely departed from the realm of science. If someone believes St. Carlos's pronouncement and yet believes himself to be a scientist, then he is certainly deluded. People like Sagan believe the religious to be out of touch with reality. If religion is the opiate of the masses, then naturalists are mainlining heroin and completely unaware of the fact.
