Carl Sagan created a TV series about the universe entitled
“Cosmos.” He later wrote a book with the same title based on the series. The
premise of both the TV show and the book is Sagan’s pronouncement that “The
Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be.” The unmistakable
implication of this quasi-religious slogan is that there is no supernatural God.
The book Cosmology: A Very Short
Introduction begins with a similar presumption. The author defines
“cosmology” as the study of everything
but he never mentions God. In both cases, atheism is simply presupposed without
argument.
