Original Cosmos was packed with science content, edge to edge. (Well, except for one 20 second statement that was wildly speculative, and not labelled as such.) I think Tyson failed to object, or object strongly enough, out of deference to Druyan.Fear: Fine.Ignore: No problem.Discount: It's a free country.Banish: Now yer stepping on some toes.Burn people at the stake: Enough to convert me to atheism.You lost me. Science, by it's very nature, is supposed to ignore religion.Science should not fear religion, but I don't see how scientists can realistically avoid it.Rick[/QUOTE]
