My heart sang a Hallelujuah in reading your post Terri. All of these are important and glorious ideas that we can actually do here on this site. Create and preserve these rituals for all to find. I particularly love you ideas about how to start the day. And the Story Cards. Everything. Terri, can you contact these people and add the rituals yourself or encourage these other people to become members?????

I think it is wonderful that a commercial network like Fox is carrying this latest attempt to publicize the story that science has developed about the evolving universe, updating Carl Sagan’s work. The general public needs to be familiar with the broad outlines of this story, and this series should go a long way to achieving that goal with a bigger audience than PBS could provide.
I found the first episode a little disjointed in the way it bounced back and forth in time in huge leaps, working its way back to the Big Bang and then jumping forward to human emergence and back to life in general. And the middle section on the scientific debate within the medieval church was interesting, but a bit overdone, it seemed to me. Perhaps this was meant to be just an overview to introduce a more systematic presentation of the elements of Big History / the Universe Story.
I look forward to future episodes.
