Religion deals with history, poetry, great literature, ethics, morals, including the morality of treating compassionately the most unfortunate of us. All of these are things I endorse wholeheartedly. The trouble comes with people who are biblical literalists, people who believe the bible is dictated by the creator of the universe to an unerring stenographer and has no metaphor or allegory. [.......] Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts what the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved in the writing of this book. -Carl Sagan (during his last interview)
