As the old joke goes, if you looked up pride in the dictionary you would see a picture of him.

I recall seeing a TV interview with Sagan, soon before his death, where he so nonchalantly denied the existence of God. Even the lady interviewing him was (I could tell) taken aback how he so debonairly (if that is a word) denied the existence of God as the Creator of all that is.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-40142372597501782902010-05-04T22:24:25.844-04:002010-05-04T22:24:25.844-04:00Not surprized that Fr. jaki's views weren'...Not surprized that Fr. jaki's views weren't well received in some quarters. After all, that blows their "The Catholic Church is anti-science, look at what they did to Galileo!" out of the water. Of course, the facts about Galileo's case would do the same, but since when have the Catholic Church haters let the facts stand in their way. Of course, they also ignore that the university system came out of the Catholic Church as well.<br /><br />Fr. Jaki was absolutely right. As I have often pointed out elsewhere, science arose because they were trying to learn how God ordered the universe.<br /><br />to this day, I will never understand how an Isaac Asimov or a Carl Seagan could ever be an atheist. Why is another matter, pride, arrogance etc.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721319432213055605noreply@blogger.com
