There is not a shred of scientific evidence nor any Scriptural authority for the popular belief that the cosmos was created by Carl Sagan. Three alternatives remain: God created the world in six days; the universe and everything in it happened by accident; or we haven’t a clue to the origin, destiny, or purpose of existence. As a lifelong subscriber to the third alternative, I am sufficiently disinterested to render a just, if not Solomonic, decision in the current conflict between the evolutionists and the Creationists.
The main battlefield is tax-supported education. In a long-delayed revenge for the banishment of prayers from public schools, Scriptural literalists are now getting laws passed in several states to require “balanced treatment” in science classrooms for two curricular monstrosities miscalled (in Louisiana) “Creation Science and Evolution Science.” One is reminded of a multi-volume work published by the Nazis under the title, German Physics.
