I noticed today that the new FOX / National Geographic thirteen-week TV series, "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey," makes a bold philosophical statement in the first line of their primary promotional video in which they lay their worldview cards on the table. The voice of Carl Sagan declares, "The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be."
So there.
Update March 9: episode 1 of the rebooted "Cosmos" series began with that same line from Sagan: "The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be." This "in your face" philosophical/ideological agenda is stunning. One thing it isn't, however: science.
