Following up on yesterday's post about faith v. science, today's New York Times has an article about a soon-to-be published book by the late Carl Sagan that touches on the issue. It's drawn from a series of lectures Sagan delivered in 1985 in Glasgow. The book was put together by Sagan's widow and partner, Ann Druyan, who was motivated to dig out the lectures because of the recent rise in the influence of religious fundamentalists in the sciences. The lectures were originally intended to be the basis for a TV series, a sequel to Cosmos, to be called Ethos.
