Robin Parry posted a YouTube Video titled "The History of Everything"--essentially a rapid-fire account of the Christian narrative--and as I was watching it I thought it would be interesting to juxtapose this Christian history of the universe against a naturalist's narrative of the origins of our world and the evolution of life.
So I went to YouTube and found Carl Sagan's own rapid-fire account. The contrasts in the narratives themselves are interestingly accentuated by the divergent storytelling styles--one relying on accelerated marker drawings/doodles, the other on majestic photographs and special effects; one voiced by what sounds like an adolescent, the other by Sagan (with his resonant baritone).
So here they are, in case you want the same experience:
Thoughts?
"The children of God should not have any other country here below but the universe itself, with the totality of all the reasoning creatures it ever has contained, contains, or ever will contain. That is the native city to which we owe our love." --Simone Weil
