Thank you.

MetaTorial: Smile when you say Paradigm

The mythology of science is more elaborate and arcane than any previous mythology. Physics has replaced metaphysics because the visuals are cooler. Or does it just have better PR?

Like Christians of old, scientists take myths and recast them in language they accept. An ancient Arab myth compares creation to a belch. We'd prefer to call it "the Big Bang." (Sorry, had no luck finding this "Arab creation myth" on the Internet. Maybe it's mythical!)

Yet times change. Technology makes it possible to simulate a debate between Carl Sagan and Fulton Sheen. I predict a virtual tie.
