COSMOS: The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean (Part 3 - 6)

[Navaraization]

I cant even begin to express my gratitude for you uploading this. Thanks!

[MrNiceGuy1422001]

BRILLIANT!

[atheistdawn]

the more you look at the cosmos, the more god theories look childish and stupid.

[misslittleRoar]

rom 1 20 for his invisible qualitys are clearly seen in the worlds creation and onwards the things seen and unseen so then they are inexcusable

so god jehovahs personality and his wisdom we can get to no by his works

[DukeTwicep]

@misslittleRoar I'm sorry to inform you but... your god is dead. My sincere apologies.

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep god cant die

[DukeTwicep]

@misslittleRoar Sorry, wrong word. I got mixed up with Nietzsche. I meant, god never existed. Nietzsche deluded himself in thinking that god had ever existed, or that's what I gathered from his famous quote.

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep oh ok i was not familar with that quote. i was mearly giving a quote a scripture from the holy bible which is jehovah gods writen word guide book and manuel to people of the earth, you dont have to belive it its your choice im just sharing incase anyone can see the wisdom in it.

[DukeTwicep]

@misslittleRoar Yes there is wisdom in the Bible, and there is also this: Hosea 13:16 "The people of Samaria must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God. They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, their pregnant women ripped open by swords."

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep yes that was all linked to when the jews were gods chosen people and when they were involved with the surrounding nations. God protected the jews and freed them from pharoah of egypt because they were slaves and mistreated. he did maricals that would prove beyond a doubt that he was their savoiur after that when the jews were then to go to their promise land, God would protect them aslong as they listened to his voice if other nations such as samaria edomites or persia or babylon if

[misslittleRoar]

@misslittleRoar any of these nations tried to kill the jews then god would fight for them and protect them, this was because jesus christ gods son was to be born through the jewish line so many of the things that happend before jesus came to the earth was the way god delt with things such as wars being allowed and fighting were all to do with protecting gods holy name. and for obidence, now christ has died and rulling in heaven there is no need for war and god is not backing it, jesus taught to

[DukeTwicep]

@misslittleRoar Wow, so you actually condone the unnecessary violence, brutality, murder, rape and all other horrors that god committed? That's OK with you? If so, then you are a sick human being, and you should be put in a mental hospital. No good human would ever condone such acts, wherever it came from. I sincerely hope you are not speaking from your heart about this, for then you are truly a despicable person. No I wouldn't call you a person, I would call you, monster, evil incarnate.

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep i will go away and reasearch the scriptures u qouted i will get the information and facts surrounding these events in bible times i will come back to you with my findings hopefully this will shed more light and understanding and i will let u decide for yourself

[DukeTwicep]

@misslittleRoar What? No, you Don't understand. It doesn't MATTER what the circumstances are. In no way, Ever, EVER, would any sane human being condone such acts. Is it so hard to understand? Yahweh kills, murders, women and children. He orders the Rape of women. He strikes children with sicknesses, letting them suffer for days until he finally lets them die, just because their fathers did something Yahweh didn't like. Are these the acts of a loving god? Is this your loving father?

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep sometimes the bible speaks in discriptive language sometimes god allowes suffering but he is not the cause of it, all i am saying is i will like to go away and research this for myself to get understanding and the sense of what was going on then.

[ILoveKimPearson]

@misslittleRoar I hate Scare tactics, And any time ive ever gone to church they try to scare the money in my wallet to there greedy hands, I'd rather give 1000 dollars directly to the poor, than give a cent of it to any church.

[gleehmee]

@ILoveKimPearson how terrifying would it be if the money itself was scared into submission?

[ILoveKimPearson]

@gleehmee hahahaha nice what if? 

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep love god with all ur heart and mind and ur neighbour as urself these are the main teachings of christ the bible offers many good teachings to do with money, health, the inner person, how to cope with lifes problems, and future hope it is also full of prophisies that have come true and there is also prophesies we are waiting to come such as psalms 37:29 the rightouss will posses the earth and live forever upon it

[DukeTwicep]

@misslittleRoar Here's another verse of wisdom: Psalm 137:9 "O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!"

And some more: Rev 2 "22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds."

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep yes these are wise words thats why its impotant to worship god the way he wants to be worshiped not the way we want to worship him so if we twist his words to mislead others, then it is a sin for us and we will be punished. rev 14:6 so i saw another angel flying in midheaven and he had everlasting good news to declare to glad tidings to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tounge and people saying in a loud voice fear god and give him glorybecause the hour of

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep of the judgment by him as arrived and so worship the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and fountains of water.

[DukeTwicep]

@misslittleRoar You are dodging my arguments with nonsense. It's hard not to notice the ignorance and the fear of being wrong. You worship your god because you fear hell? You don't need to fear hell, you need only to accept that god cannot exist. God of the Bible isn't the loving father the new testament is sometimes telling you. The god you have learned about is a lie, can't you see that these atrocities are incompatible with a loving father? Would your father rip women open?

[misslittleRoar]

@DukeTwicep im not arguing with you i will do research this evening and tomorrow and come back to you on those scriptures because i dont want to just talk from my own head i need to get more surrounding scriptures and historical facts about those times so i can come back to you and answer ur question, as for hell the word simply means hades in greek which is man kinds grave the pit it is not a actual place, nowhere in the bible says about burning forever in hell. when we die we simply turntodust

[DukeTwicep]

@misslittleRoar Also these interesting verses that show that Jesus condones the old testament: Mathew 5: "17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."

[ak47awais]

THIS GUY'S A FUCKING GENIUS

[moother888]

no matter how many times i watch this it still gives me goose bumps

[newtrajectory]

I love when he calls asteroids "wordlets"

[zenzombie72]

You can't have a program about space without analogue synth music.

[RJL738]

So far we have discovered far more than 500 extrasolar planets and we have far more than 1,000 extrasolar planet candidates. There are potentially more than 1,700 to 1,800 extrasolar planets known. Most of them are still bigger than Jupiter and the smallest one discovered is just under 1.4 Earth masses. We are getting closer. Yes where he says the wisdon of the men and women of our species aquired at great cost is so true.

[ncmmorris]

science gets things wrong, religion gets things wrong (though granted science seems much more able to own up to it). there are bad things about science, there are ban things about religion. but more importantly there are good things about both, believe me, i've witnessed both. so yeah, just accept both excist, it's actually quite easy you know.

[shkotay]

@ncmmorris Both are attempts at explaining the universe around us. Science however daily produces fantastic applications, incredible advances in knowledge, reliable, repeatable information and technologies. Religion is still mostly bound to its makers 2000+ years ago. As of yet science has not asked us to burn ppl at stakes or inquisitions. I cannot subscribe to religious views when this astounding universe is around us. How small we really are.

[calmsnowfall]

@shkotay

Well stated.

[calmsnowfall]

@ncmmorris

What exactly are the "bad" sides of Science? Because the last time I checked, scientists weren't the ones who rammed planes through buildings or put on robes and screwed little boys in the ass. Or how about the dark ages? Don't try to defend religion by bullshitting. Science is the search for truth by studying life and matter around us, by using the scientific method to draw the most logical conclusions from carefully observed data. Notice how none of that requires faith.

[throbgrist]

@calmsnowfall Science, like religion, is a tool. It can be used to our benefit or for our destruction. Bad side of science? I'd say the Bomb, DDT, the Nazis' practice of Eugenics, not to mention the stratification of the food industry where 'nutritionalism' and 'food science' have resulted in making people sicker in many aspects rather than healthier. I'm certainly not justifying religion but science must work to ensure our survival, not compromise it.

[calmsnowfall]

@throbgrist

WE must work to ensure our survival. Remember, science is just a tool like you said.

[throbgrist]

@calmsnowfall Sorry, I meant "...but we must use science to ensure our survival, not compromise it."

[DukeTwicep]

@throbgrist Science will always be used by lesser people for lesser purposes. Religion is rarely used by greater people for greater purposes. Religion will die, science will live on.

[ncmmorris]

on every part of this i've watched there has been a science vs. religion debate/argument/preach. you know, it is possible to be amazed and interested and BELIEVE in science AND God you know, just like i do. there are bad sides to religion of course there are, but there are to science too. just like there is 'competition' between religions there are between scientists, in fact some scientists can end up hating each other, stealing ideas huh, that's funny, bit like religion.

[steeev11]

@ncmmorris Scientists may argue and steal from each other but you don't see many scientists killing each other over an idea.

[danilosierrac]

There is no such thing as U.F.O is just Carl going back to earth to check how are we...

[dprague]

Why is there a single universe, perhaps 11 dimensions, yet 10,000 religions?

[daveyschmites]

totally tripping balls

[Daandude1]

Why the fuck do you wanna believe in a being that pointed his finger and created everything, when you can have THIS!?

This piece of art with it's endless surprises.

[daveyschmites]

he hasn't got a clue what he's talking about. he's just tripping

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

@daveyschmites Are you joking?

[Chuckonbass67]

It's a shame the spam is all over the vid, apparently there are still small minded peeps who believe money actually has worth in the grand scheme of things. Maybe they could watch the vide and learn?

[dprague]

Science questions everything. Religion ask no questions and answers nothing. Science creates. Religion destroys. Science makes you wonder. Religion makes you affraid. Science improves our lives. Religions condemns life dreaming of something better.

[gleehmee]

@dprague I know it's an old post but addendum: Science makes you wonder about religion.

[Sonolumino8939]

So high and far away!

[Sedalb]

I can't think of anyone else who can successfully change my perspective on everything as easily as Carl Sagan could. One can live their life with the bounds of the universe set just beyond the sky... Carl Sagan took those bounds and casted them off into the great unknown and made us look upon Earth as if we were visitors.

[Snowboardbb86]

@Sedalb Awesome! well put. :)

[PrincessUnicorn69]

I'm so baked. Wow.

[trespire]

@iorost Th e Klingon Empire is in the Orion Belt

[T800System]

It's a shame sagan didn't live to see another leap in space exploration, we're due to revisit the moon by 2020 and then use it as a staging point for mars

I don't believe in an afterlife but when I see people like sagan it makes me hope for one

[thx291]

Lots of Vangelis music in this.

[globe5086]

this is boring

[KARTRACE9]

boring how can knowledge of the universe be boring

[CorporalKenner]

@globe5086

you're boring

[danut5miu]

Magnific...outstanding mind..a visionary mind..in this times ,our times we should try to understand that human kind must become peacefull..sharing with eachoter..otherwise the selection of Universe will do it...even if we like it or not..

[Daruqe]

Love Beethoven #7

[antigen4]

vomit....

[dudefromhenderson]

Sagan Says Pluto is a Planet, than it is. End of discussion

[sweetpeajunglebean]

carl sagan is the coolest guy ever.

[ASTCify]

Carl Sagan just goes to show the cosmic-scaled spirituality one can achieve solely from science.

[doctormurray91]

Oh god.. I jizzed in my pants...

[InvizionsStudios]

isn't it AWESOME that we've BEEN TO THE MOON?

[sondano]

name one thing that came out of the moonlanding and improved everyday life for humans? I don't know of any. The Apollo program was fueled by the primitive human emotion called pride and the desire to defeat other humans in a manufactured race it was not driven by the desire to improve living conditions like for example the discovery of the polio vaccine that was AWESOME but a few humans walking on the moon was ridiculously useless

[BlackCladGolbez]

@sondano How about just putting it down as part of the quest for knowledge? Are you seriously saying that humans shouldn't have landed on the moon?

[kenni2112]

i agree the....the benefit is not the goal but it was the proces that was the important gain from that...but now we must find new way to travle and stop sending rockets up and hope they make it ther, cause we are not gaining a whole lot from it

[BlackCladGolbez]

@kenni2112 I don't really see how you can say that when only recently thanks to their endeavors, they discovered water on the moon.

[sondano]

when I think about all the energy matter and time the Apollo program consumed and when I think about the result not improving living conditions yes I say it shouldn't have been done science should never be self-serving satisfying your curiosity in and of itself can never come before improving living conditions a superior species could afford to engage in such enterprises but humans should fully dedicate their intellect and resources to reduce suffering

[BlackCladGolbez]

@sondano

But learning things about the universe in which we live can only lead to be beneficial to humans. Living conditions are improved every day, except perhaps in the cases of places that suffer extreme poverty and such, but that's much more about the political climate than scientific spending.

[lifeinlightspeed]

It's not useless - it was motivated by pride for some, the thrill of discovery for others, and the possibility of discovering something new. It was also a footstep towards future exploration in space.

The knowledge gained from space missions = PRICELESS

[dla627]

The point you are missing is that it was a great achievement of science, an achievement which inspired a whole new generation of scientists. Many claim the tech boom of the nineties was in part due to the apollo missions, can you say this provides no improvement to everyday life for humans?

[godofapplez]

@sondano dude are you retarded? science drives technology, a geek in his moms basement doesnt drive technology. without the apollo mission, or the space race, what incentive would scientists have to develop technology? nasa is always first in developing technology, for space and crap that they do, and guess what? inventors use what nasa develops, and alters it for what ever they want to make. nasa helped make the first computer, which was used to communicate navy subs from one to another.

[ridgedroid]

@godofapplez

NASA builds on what government labs across the USA and the world discover. It is not NASA where things are discovered, it is at these labs. NASA is the "manufacturing" facility, so to speak, for all these great findings across laboratories. Thank the Department of Energy. Please, do some research.

[Vejita12]

Uhm the first computer was either british Colossus or german machines constructed by Kondrad Zuse. There was also EINIAC, which was the first powerful computer (sort of a supercomputer), used by military and it was used to calculate artilery firing tables.

All of those had been designed and constructed long before NASA was founded. :)

[MansDuality]

charles babbages difference engine my good sir.

[bishop8000]

It was the first all-electronic computer. There were mechanical machines that could be called computers long before Colossus.

[Vejita12]

None of those were electronic.

They were electric.

[bishop8000]

No.

"The Colossus machines were *electronic* computing devices used by British codebreakers to read encrypted German messages during World War II. These were the world's first programmable, digital, electronic, computing devices. They used vacuum tubes (thermionic valves) to perform the calculations."

[godofapplez]

@sondano after that nasa started using that technology, and started building off of it. soon they could physically talk to each other through mic's. nasa is even guilty of taking technology and using it, once the germans found out about jet fuel, nasa took that technology and made rockets out of it, same with russia. once they found a way to stabilize it and make it last, they made space ships out of it. EVERY ONCE TAKES WHAT SCIENCE HAS MADE, AND USES IT FOR DIFFERENT THINGS, HENCE TECHNOLOGY!!

[TheOmatron]

@sondano

The Apollo missions broadened our understaning of the world we live in. Whatever politics were involved doesn't subtract from the fact that knowledge and exploration are paramount to humanity finding answers to the big questions.

[InvizionsStudios]

OP here, it was an XKCD joke xD

[Barricade]

Carl Sagan - the only person God ever gave the keys to his car to.

[jcruze1739]

@Barricade Well said, well said!!

[KevServo]

If we're alone in the universe, it'll be an awful shame.

[JOEFRO2]

How so?

[jpopdancingkeyboard]

I do not believe that the same god that endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Good quote, look it up.

[gskaloyan]

I don't understand why so many thing the universe is lifeless.

"Because God made us."

Why couldn't he make other things? Why wouldn't he? For there to be so much out there, so many stars, so many worlds, so much in the universe to see and explore, for us to be the ONLY ones to explore it... Seems like a waste of a lot of space don't you think?

But I guess a belief in God is how some folk handle the realisation of just how tiny and insignifigant we are in the universe.

[helical4]

This is not meant to sound offensive. But why, oh why, do so many people spend their lives with their heads buried in some holy book or obsess over celebrities and gossip? Especially when there is so much out there for us to learn and discover.

Do you know what makes me cry? It is the thought that so many people marginalize the ideas and efforts of Scientists. Scientists may not be acting to better our lives with new technologies, but to only better our understanding of everything around us.

[sickofpeoplesshit]

i m not into religion or pop culture. i like transformers. am i part of the problem?  :(

[dudlemann]

Cosmos always makes me cry.

I hope Mr. Sagan is cruising in his fantastic ship through the afterlife.

[Heliosphan15]

seconded! i don't know what it is. it's such an overlooked beauty, the universe

[walter0bz]

sagan lives on, sciences "jesus"

[CipherSpectre]

Yes. May he rest in science.

[questionsleadtotruth]

That it may be common for life to exist elsewhere...

[questionsleadtotruth]

After visiting the Rocky Mountains this summer and learning how glaciers shaped the mountains, there is NO doubt in my mind that there were ancient oceans on Mars.

Those mountains are shaped with water.

[Skindoggiedog]

And the significance of this is what?

[amitavaxxx]

to prove that you all are collective shitheads.

[alienmode]

wow thank god we have access to your questioning scientific mind

[coopmen]

The universe is an awesome place, i wish i had a spacecraft so i can do some prospecting on other worlds.

[johnneedslove]

whips of mebuloicisty

[pnisvgina]

You're gay.  Love, Carl

[7anmv]

A Wonderful Man. So clear, So concise. So Easy To Understand.

Miss Him Loads.

[bshieldsbb01]

Agreed. I haven't seen these since they were first broadcast in the early 80's.

Carl Sagan reminded us that science wasn't just numbers and data;it's also the wonder of the Universe we are a part of.

Thanks for posting.

[pnisvgina]

If you were watching this in the 80's, then they were re-runs.

[mandolinroad]

Why? Originallt broadcast in 1980.

[cookiecache2]

The Science channel plays these constantly.

[walter0bz]

maybe 1000-2000 yrs later something else as profound will replace Cosmos, given how often that happens..

[TheMartianBotanist]

Carl Sagan was (and is) an enormous asset to mankind. Thanks for posting these, nethius.

[mandolinroad]

Indeed and it's quite scary that some people still question the power of science and the facts we have been able to write down thanks to it.

[terrasidius]

excellent vid

[bonitacitaxxx]

can't you come over and cuddle...
