They say people need stories and myths to make sense of the world around them – why not supply some fact based stories, that are so much more satisfying than myths, because they enable a life time of nonstop learning and personal discovering regarding the existence beyond us.
The Sacred Depths of Nature is one of the best stabs at this that I’ve seen. Maybe I’m still not getting your proposal. The problem seems to me to be that science is specialized. So, I like talking about a cat that may or may not be dead in a box, but some people just aren’t interested. Some like the idea of waves and particles changing depending on the observer, but that gets abused real fast. Then there’s that “star stuff” thing, my friend Starbeam is into that one. TO do this kind of marketing, I think you need some kind of generalist, more like a High School science teacher who is really good at engaging people. Dawkins was once that guy, but then he got into debating creationists. Bill Nye, also has been politicized. Sheldon Leonard?
