WHAT!? This is not science, it's anti-science. Truth through revelation. He was persecuted and put to death by the church. So? There are hundreds of people put to death every year TODAY for holding politically incorrect views in nondemocratic nations.What about the hundreds of people killed by the church for views that, through sheer luck, turned out to be wrong? I think the whole segment was pushed by Ann Druyan, who has no science credentials other than her marriage to Carl Sagan. She's a big pot enthusiast. Probly thinks "Ooooh, hallucinations lead to Scientific Truth!" Right. Along with a lot of nonsense. Ten minutes of pure nonsense in the first episode of Cosmos 2014.Rick[/QUOTE]
