Carl actually did a lecture series on theology and religion, later adapted into this book. To him, clinging to the pseudoscientific dogmas of ages past represents a modern “loss of nerve” before the true scale and grandeur of the Cosmos. This attitude of “my God is a small God and I want Him to stay that way” is rooted in the desire to be at the center of the Cosmos on a young world created exclusively for humans. It is a mark of maturity to accept all our astronomical evidence to the contrary.

Science and religion are reconcilable, but religions based on ancient supernatural rumors and antacdotes cannot be literally true in the light of new science. Scriptural literalists are letting “the truth” get in the way of a good story. By insisting you must unquestioningly believe in certain past events without having been there.

Not to be confused with paleontology, in which the principles of stratigraphy and radiometry cobble together a story which is always open to new questions, new methods and new evidence.

I feel bad too. Let’s all try for something better together.
