Cosmos mushes religion in it's dumb rough ridin' face.
How so?
athiests have faith that if there really is a god, NdGT would have been smitten
One of my favorite quotes from last night
"...the mantle drags the solid overlying crust along with it, the crust resists because it's cool and rigid. From time to time it reaches a breaking point. When that happens, the earth "quakes". It's not because someone misbehaved and is being punished. It's due to random forces that are governed by the laws of nature."
We don't need fairy tales to justify why things happen throughout history. Science has allowed humans to go back in time and be able to understand how and why things happened millions and billions of years ago. Cosmos continues to show how insignificant humans really are in the history of the earth and the universe. A lot of crap happened before we got here. Some people fail to grasp that concept.
We have all evolved from a small shrew like animal that survived the mass extinction that killed off the dinosaurs. That is a fact. You can't argue against it. Parents that teach their kids creationism should be thrown in jail for poisoning the minds of impressionable youth. I don't care if you "believe" the earth is 6,000 years old. You're rough ridin' wrong.
But it's a really good show and everyone should watch it.
