How to Mediate a Dispute

I have an observation to make. I intend no political comment.

I have, in my life, had occasion to see some religious TV programming. It seems to me that the various ministers and preachers who acted as the hosts of these shows tended to project the impression that the things they talked about were obvious, self-evident, and made perfect sense.

I have also watched all three seasons of Cosmos (the original with Carl Sagan and the two new ones with Neil Degrasse Tyson). The general attitude of those shows seems to be “Wow! Look this CRAZY THING we figured out! Isn’t that wild?! And look here, look at all the complicated stuff we had to do to prove it! Amazing!”

I noticed the contrast and it amused me. That’s all. Read into it what you will.
