Who said it first?

I'm watching Babylon 5 for the Nth time and just heard Delenn say something about "The Universe trying to figure itself out."

I seem to remember Carl Sagan saying the same thing in his "Cosmos" series.

Did B5 rip-off Carl Sagan?

Possibly (I would have to see both quotes side by side before I made any definitive decisions), but a phrase like "trying to figure itself out" is common enough that they could have had similar phrases with out completly by accident.

If anyhting, it is probably a matter of one of the writers being a fan of Sagan, and just paying homage.
