The universe had become disenchanted. Stars and planets were now regarded as nothing more than huge balls of rock and flaming gas." Oh for heaven's sake... (literally!) Christianity has absolutely no need of such anti-intellectual, superstitious Dark Age nonsense. Anyone worried about losing their sense of wonder at the (mechanical) movements of the planets should go look up pictures of these planets' beauty. Sulphur volcanos on Io, the canteloupe terrain of Triton and just about anything on Titan come immediately to mind. These places are sublime. Once again my respect for CS Lewis, of which I had little enough, has plummetted. “Lewis felt that the Copernican revolution had been accompanied by a loss of belief in the symbolic and spiritual qualities of creation.
