Comments to “Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot”













January 7th, 2009 at 15:59:34 "For we are the local embodiment of a cosmos grown to self-awareness; grouped assemblages of 10,000,000,000,000 atoms contemplating the atom, starstuff pondering the stars, tracing that long path by which here at least, matter grew to consciousness. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to the species, not just to the planet, but to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring." Like Einstein, Mr. Sagan wasn't an atheist, nor religious person either. He was scientific pantheist.
January 7th, 2009 at 16:22:33 If some good evidence for life after death were announced, I'd be eager to examine it; but it would have to be real scientific data, not mere anecdote. As with the face on Mars and alien abductions, better the hard truth, I say, than the comforting fantasy. "Carl Sagan" There are lot's more qoutes like this where he slams religion, anybody with half a brain knows the bible is crap! Oh and by the way, you believe in a talking snake! Any books you find today with talking snakes in it are fairytale
January 7th, 2009 at 16:45:32 Samstyres, You should not say things like that about Carl Sagan, he was not in any shape or form a religious person. The fact that you're saying he "believed in "jesus" and god, would've been an insult to him. If you read his qoutes (and don't read them like you would the bible! His qoutes are very cut and dry, And don't need to be interpreted or twisted in any way.) I know that's what you guys do. His wife told the press when he died, "he did not want to believe, he wanted to know"
January 7th, 2009 at 17:08:31 As i speak there are hundreds of thousands of teenagers across the globe attending church camps and workshops thinking what their doing is the very purpose of their lives.One look at this video will hopefully broaden their prespectives.I recommend EVERYBODY who watches this to send it to everyone they know,if possible.
January 7th, 2009 at 17:31:30 Sagan's idea of god isn't what you think. It's einstien's concept of 'god', not a supernatural being who intervenes in our world, but what he means is the mystery of the unknown. This is the scientific 'god', it's merely a poetic way of saying the beauty of the unknown. Science can't tell us everything now, but it sure shows that creationism is bs, and that pretty much destroys the foundation of christianity.
January 7th, 2009 at 17:54:29 there are a lot there is one in particular though its PALE BLUE DOT another good one is Demon Haunted World Science as a Candle in the Dark
January 7th, 2009 at 18:17:28 I dont see where Carl threw religion or science into this. I believe he split the boundaries. I hapen to lean toward science, but Carl told the story as it was as we know it. He is saying that we have to be good to prosper. He is not slaying any religion nor pushing any science. He is telling us what we have to do as human beings to prosper. Be good folks!
January 7th, 2009 at 18:40:27 for those of you saying that carl sagan was an athiest, that's not nesicarily true. he was a scientist, and he put science before religion. he still believed in God(creator) and jesus(saviour). maybe anyone whose telling us to "shut the fuck up" should open his/her mind to the fact that science can't tell us everything. science is simply saying that one theory makes more sense than another. concrete for the most part, but still dissprovable.
January 7th, 2009 at 19:03:26 What is the name of his book? I need to read it. :)
January 7th, 2009 at 19:26:25 shut the fuck up. Im open to opionions. but hes dead and cant defend him self of you saying he went to heaven. He was an athiest. So how do you get the right to say what really happens to him? Good for you that you have your own religion i wont knock it. But dont say that shit
January 7th, 2009 at 19:49:24 I own this book. its amazing
January 7th, 2009 at 20:12:23 Stupid comment. According to Christianity Jesus wasn't the "creator" Also according to Christianity, heaven is not on Earth. Therefore it does not have anything to do with Earth [The Pale Blue Dot]Free your mind, drop the Bible.
January 7th, 2009 at 20:35:22 Dumb creationist. He didn't believe in your, or any, god. Either way, he hasn't met up with him.
January 7th, 2009 at 20:58:21 Well, Mr. Sagan, since you have passed into eternity and have met up with God, and Jesus Christ, your Creator, you know now that we are more than a pale blue dot.
January 7th, 2009 at 21:21:20 Start a petition :)
January 7th, 2009 at 21:44:19 I think the text of the passage should be on the wall of every school classroom, unfortunately I doubt that will happen for a while.
January 7th, 2009 at 22:07:18 If only everyone thought like this..... our world would be a much better place.
January 7th, 2009 at 22:30:17 I love this essay and think of it often. It helps me keep things in perspective. It's really a life changer. If this doesn't influence the way you think, from top to bottom, politics and all the rest of it, then you're either not listening or you're trying to hard to ignore it, probably due to a bizarrely stubborn adherence to some anachronistic ideology. If that's you (and you know who you are), please listen again, with an open mind.
January 7th, 2009 at 22:53:16 well said.
January 7th, 2009 at 23:16:15 This whole thread on the video makes you realize why we are where we are. Just reading responses is proof. Everyone needs to realize whether earth was given to us, or just random chance, there is no reason hate others because they believe differently. People hold truths from the evidence they see and how they interpret it, not what some one on youtube told them to believe. help each other find the truth, because surprise, surprise you may be wrong. Yes i worship God, who I have doubted.
January 8th, 2009 at 23:39:14 The truth shall set you free.
January 8th, 2009 at 00:02:13 jesus christ is a cool guy but fuck Christianity and its bullshit bible. you have to be a mindless drone to believe that bullshit we are like Carl Sagan said, "nothing but a pale blue dot!", religion and our stupid actions have made us to go to war and self-destruction!
January 8th, 2009 at 00:25:12 amen td4wd
January 8th, 2009 at 00:48:11 take time to look at the stars and open your mind to truths.
