Gives me chills! He was so eloquent and articulate and rational, and he is very loved and very missed. I don't know how any person of faith who sees this, or who reads anything Carl's written, could still be satisfied with their religion's books and stories.
How badly do we need another Carl Sagan. he talked more sense than all the priests and prophets that ever lived. If there are more Carl Sagans yet to be born, there may yet be hope for humanity.
I as a muslim really appriciate people like Carl Sagan and The Feynman series i respect all there idea's and learn from them but all of that doesn't change that for me i really do believe that islam is the religion as i am not forcing it anyone just proud of being one and i am convinced that islam is the only religion left that is true as i dont find anything bad in it or more versions of the same book or something like it.
@iMrRoyal - You're almost there; keep examining why it is you believe what it is you believe, but do it from an outsider's perspective, and you'll come to the same conclusion Carl Sagan, myself, and thousands of others have done: No religion is true, regardless of how desirable what they say may be.
"Few found the similarity suspicious" Through the late Sagan and Hitchens, few, will become most, and one day we will rid ourselves of the anthropocentric imbeciles as we have the geocentrists. If we crave some cosmic purpose the let us find ourselves a worthy goal. Thank you Sagan for giving life meaning.

@TheEIements Just think what it was like before you were born. Wasn't much of a burden was it? "After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened out eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with colour, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? -Unweaving the Rainbow You are alive, live.
Extraterrestrials, The Very Secret of Life and the Truth Wich We All Deserve..
This has been hidden away from us since our very Existence, through subliminal, Manipulation-Mass Hypnosis, Just filthy lies of our so called leaders and rigid believe systems. I find this bubble ( the world) of Currency, Ego, Limits, Lies, War, Death and Destruction really a Tragic System to live in while We All Have The Opportunity To Make This Sick place of disorder&Death the paradise we've always wanted it to be.
I don't think he was refering to a specific "Worthy Goal" for us to find. What he ment is exactly that which he said - that we should FIND ourselves a worthy goal - whatever that might turn out to be...
But yes, spreading to the stars, making sure humans could live practically forever - and giving as many consciouss beings as possible the oppurtunity to think, feel, and love - would, atleast in my mind, be a worthy goal.
"We long to be here for a purpose even though despite much self-deception, none is evident". A simple and elegant sentence that sums up the opposition between theists and non-theists.
These are easily some of the most moving, enlightening, courageous, and powerful words I've ever had the privilege of hearing.
"We long for a parent to care for us... to forgive us of our errors -- to save us from our childish mistakes. But knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring fable. If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal."
I find Carl so inspiring, I cant help but come back to his videos to listen to his wise words. I am saddened that he had to pass away, and deprive the world of such insight and talks.
Im grateful though that his worlds are immortalised and can be enjoyed by generations to come, and can continue to inspire.
Nice to see a relatively clean comment thread for once -- if only for the first three or four pages. Most videos I come across are FRAUGHT with conflict.
The placard at 2.22 is so sad and the fact that some parent put it on a child who hasn't had the chance to work things out for themselves is even sadder.
@MrDoogie I agree but not forced... For that's the way THEY think... But, I can say, hopefully when I have children, they're going to watch this as soon as they are able to understand. Then, I think, they will understand....
Carl Sagan - "Our collective free time needs to shift as much as possible to education. Whether you're a young student or finished school long ago, get out to the library whenever you can and work hard to learn everything you can about this world. Each individual and society will benefit from being able to solve more problems and make better decisions. Education is an amazing discovery process that repays you endlessly."
Thank you for making this. I've always thought that Carl Sagan was a better voice for Atheism than most. People like Richard Dawkins are intelligent, but they lack the gentle application of logic that makes people like Carl so easy to listen to.
@zeperx I agree. Well said and thought out. But if nobody gets angry (like Dawkins) then reasoning and logic will be buried. I can't help but feel that every person contributes even if some are more acerbic than others. :)
@zeperx Carl isnt a voice of/for Atheism and would have never wanted to be. He himself was not an atheist and thought atheism was stupid and relegated for those arrogant enough to think that they know everything about the universe. He was actually a "Pantheist", an idea where there is still a "god" but this god is not a human male figure or anything like that, this god is the combination of all of the laws of physics.
@zeperx Dont get me wrong, i am not religious and up until i read his words i myself thought i was an atheist. But he has that way of making things so simple and this was his quote on his religious beliefs "An atheist has to know a lot more than I know. An atheist is someone who knows there is no god. By some definitions atheism is very stupid". He goes on to say that the only way you can know there isnt a god is an infinitely old universe, which is something we have proved yet :)
@DrWockles You make an excellent point. I was not aware of his stated view on what he thought of as Atheism.
However, what I hear in his words are a skepticism towards religion as it is presented. Through the scientific method we have attained a piece of freedom from ignorance - we don't have to take anyone's word on faith. I believe that is those with this faith that show the arrogance that Sagan spoke of in your quote - to claim to know with absolute certainty.
@DrWockles Atheism to me is the rejection of supernatural ideas that require faith and the willing suspension of critical thinking to accept. This is not to say that I have ruled out the possibility of a higher power. I cite Socrates when he said, "The only thing I know is that I know nothing."
I projected my own thoughts concerning Atheism onto Mr. Sagan's words, as I believed they resonated. I concede my error, and thank you for bringing it to my attention.
@zeperx no problem :) and i also fully accept your point as well. To me the whole Atheism point of view can be viewed in several ways depending on context and also what is right to view as a "god". I was viewing it in the literal term of atheism that there is no god of any sort and even though personally i dont believe there is a god in the way that religion states, i do believe the laws stated by physics are unbreakable.
@DrWockles & @zeperx - I think the definition of atheism has moved on from Carl's interpretation; even Dawkins acknowledges that he cannot be certain there is no god, so counts himself an agnostic atheist (a view to which I subscribe). Carl's definition of atheist would actually now be describe an anti-theist. I used to be Pantheist/Deist i.e. laws of nature = God, then I realised they neither cared for, nor required, my reverence or worship, so then I just started calling them 'physics'.
@Stonewaller87 that is actually a pretty stellar (pardon the pun XD) way of summing it up. Also a fantastic way of showing that real science is never static and is constantly dynamic, and with its changing movements our understanding of everything that it affects must continue on with it
@Stonewaller87 That being said though, even though i consider myself a Pantheist i do not as such worship the laws of nature. I just feel that in their, in no other way to put it, invulnerability makes them a divine thing. Not divine in any way that any religion would state, but in the sheer fact that they are unbreakable (in order with today's science) just like any religion will say about its own God/gods
@zeperx to quote Carl Sagan again in another one of his interviews on his views and beliefs "Some people think God is an outsized, light-skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky, busily tallying the fall of every sparrow..."
@zeperx "...Others—for example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einstein—considered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws."
"If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal." Just remarkable. Atheistic humanism at its clearest.
Callum I found these videos while preparing to teach a college course about pseudoarchaeology. I had just read The Demon-Haunted World, and while I don't entirely embrace Sagan's skepticism (no anthropologist can attack strange beliefs the way he did), I am inspired by him. This video series is a nice accompaniment to the terrible clarity of his thought.
these videos are among the best i have ever seen, very thought provoking and perfectly made. i posted this on my facebook page to share it with everyone i know...... so far not one person has watched it :(
@jadagod i did the same... people cling so hard to their fantasies. someday we have to accept that we will be santa claus for our children. the realization that fantasies are just comforting myths must come with age.
@FightingFitKravMaga Many _politicians_ that are Christians believe that storms are controlled by God. Michele Bachmann being the most recent. After flack she retracted her statement as a "joke", no one may ever know the truth.
My brother who recently graduated 4 years from Bible college, who is very intelligent believes that storms are controlled by God. This is modern day, and I find it sad.
@FightingFitKravMaga The discussion is over because you didn't respond to my questions after I answered yours. Thanks for playing. You taught me that the reason Creationists think the way they do is because they never learned elementary physics. Creationists apparently think that the mechanics of the universe just are and shouldn't be looked into or even understood.
Praise the baby G-zus for maintaining the gravity on Earth.
@FightingFitKravMaga "They do not say in their hearts, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives the rain in its season, the autumn rain and the spring rain, and keeps for us the weeks appointed for the harvest.’" Clearly the Bible believed that droughts were a manifestation of gods anger and times of plenty meant you had prayed enough. Just like every other religion Christianity is just primitive peoples trying to explain phenomena they did not understand.
@FightingFitKravMaga "Ask rain from the Lord in the season of the spring rain, from the Lord who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field. " "Then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. " and there's more
@FightingFitKravMaga So what, shall we listen to these people who thought that the rain was caused by god, that the tides were caused by god. That storms were the manifestation of some divine malevolence, these people saw design were there was none as they had not amassed the knowledge to know otherwise. They thought the world was flat because they could only see for a few dozen miles around.
Sharks, Paleospinax with its detached upper jaw, Spathobatis and finally Protospinax in the late jurassic after which Nurse sharks and other modern forms started to appear. Your statement is also massively vague, sharks have not 'remained the same, the subclass of Elasmobranchii has huge diversity; Heterodontiformes, Orectolobiformes, Lamniformes and Carcharhiniformes just to name a few, the fact that you argue these points with such obvious ignorance is damning to say the least.
Bacteria have been around for billions of years and populate every continent and contribute to most of the biomass of the planet yet you would probably say they haven't changed a bit (well they have, they are definitely more specialized than before) the shark is an apex predator but nonetheless its evolutionary lineage is relatively well documented, we have Cladoselach (an extremely early shark) moving on to Tristychius a primitive proto shark, Ctenacanthus which is ancestral to all modern
"Evolution is internally inconsistent. It posits that all life must continuously improve" facepalm.jpg, survival of the fittest is not about 'being better' because 'better' is a null concept and would require some separate entity to keep some form of tab on every lifeform and measure them by some criteria. Evolution does not constantly make something better, it is merely a system that works towards a being that can survive, in the eyes of evolution bacteria is far 'better' than a human
@FightingFitKravMaga My earlier responses were answering your questions regarding why I dont believe in gawd and how I can live my life fulfilled being an aetheist...
@FightingFitKravMaga "In approximately 700 B.C. the prophet Micah named the tiny village of Bethlehem as the birthplace of Israel’s Messiah (Micah 5:2)."
Your basis for belief is based on a few hand-me down prophecies that were slipped in to the Bible for continuity. Science doesn't suffer heresay. That was the extent of your existential investigation? You should burn in hell for just being stupid.
@FightingFitKravMaga I looked at the rest of the board to see if you made a point early on with someone else. The results were shocking...
"I have been brushing up on biology for three years, and what I discover is undeniable proof of Creation." What kind of equipment did you use? What sort of things did you test? Or did you find some enlightening PDF's that you skimmed through for 3 years?
What business does an incurious christian have in the field of Biology? Shenanigans
@FightingFitKravMaga "Can you even explain the absolute laws of rationality using natural law?" Rationality is an approach to observable patterns which natural law was derived from. "Justify for me using nothing more than the laws of chemistry and physics the law of evidence-based reasoning." I'm not sure you know what your asking because I don't.
Can you explain to me why God has always existed? Can you answer why, in its omnipotence, gawd needs man to willfully worship him?
@FightingFitKravMaga Jesus titty-fucking Christ get baby a binky. Sorry that you sat at your computer for hours refreshing the page in the vain hopes of a response. I think I have a vague idea of what prayer is like now. The beauty of boards on youtube is that you can walk away, enjoy the day, and get back into the conversation later. You seem to have an air of satisfaction even though you've offered no reason to me why gawd exists, just offered questions you think are witty and stifling.
@FightingFitKravMaga Its true that the thought of eternal rest keeps me up now and then. I can't tell you how to cope with death other than it is a necessary part of life. I am enamored with the beauty of the universe and the more I understand the subtle mechanics of the world around me, the more I fall in love with life.
@FightingFitKravMaga I'm not saying that you shouldnt be happy. And I don't think the search for meaning in this universe is strictly a scientific experience. The endeavor to understand the universe can be a powerful experience like trying to understand the mind of God. I don't think our experience on this Earth should be limited to the specifications put forth in a book written thousands of years ago. Live your life for yourself and those around you. You don't need religion to love life.
@FightingFitKravMaga Death is a reality that we all have to face. I'm not against religion, there is great wisdom to be found in their teachings. I believe it is a great tool for creating cohabitable environments, but too many people focus on the "promises" that religion gives them rather than the teachings. I have no problem with a person of faith if they accept the possibility that their God doesn't have an afterlife waiting for them.
@FightingFitKravMaga What we have gathered from the observable universe is that there has not been interaction between a higher power and the nature of the cosmos, everything is progressing unstifled. If there is a gawd, it is only a spectator and has no real part in our lives. Fear has caused humanity to develop great coping mechanisms to block out the reality of things. "Free thought" is used by the fearless to solve the mysteries of the universe. Freedom from thought is faith.
truly an inspiration piece you have on here, good sir! If we had more people like Sagan.. individuals (students) will be interested in science, and knowledge!
@MotaVisionTv How incredibly childish. Imagine a theist being curious and coming to watch this video, and what they see is your ridiculously childish comment at the top. Screw off
@MotaVisionTv there's no need for such bare faced animosity.. i'm on your side, but what's the value in creating all this bad blood? can't you see where it'll all lead? use your head and show some respect.
@MotaVisionTv I'm voting you down because your comment only makes us Atheists look bad and immature. Even though you are an Atheist, you should be open to everything and everyone.
@MotaVisionTv i don't care about the tale part of it, the virgin mother, i dont believe it, im not christian, there is more evidence supporting he was alive then not though, i'm just supporting what he said, that we should be good to one another, ect. as a regular man he was great.
@thepokcom How can one be conscious and thus experience thought without a brain? He can't, there is no Sagan....so no, he definitely doesn't believe in god now. And no matter how many times you chant to yourself that God exists, or that Sagan knows that god's exist, you'll be no closer to truth. It's called delusion, fantasy, make-believe...look it up.
@MotaVisionTv i down you because carl would never say such things or support them, jesus, was a great man and did many good things and inspired great morales, its not all bad.
@MotaVisionTv I find it funny that you try to respond with that. I didn't say your opinion is stupid, I said the way you chose to express it makes you come off as stupid. Sure you can express your opinion in any way you choose, but you should know that the way you talk affects the way everybody views you. I viewed you in that way because you expressed yourself in a way that slightly showed it. Nice try though, "enjoy your day"
@FightingFitKravMaga and sorry, one last thing, there is no evidence for creationsim as others have pointed out ALL YOU CAN DO, prove your theory is by taking information that has been spewed and recycled through your creationist mouths that somehow underminds the entire theory of evolution. go have a talk with some one like richard dawkins. he will chew you up, spit you back out, and humble the shit out of you. no, true scientist, or learned person can ever take you, or your position seriously
@FightingFitKravMaga FUCKING STARDUST, and there is nothing greater then knowing the truth and the beauty of this, HAVE DISREGARDING ALL SCEINTIFIC FACT :D ill be off having sex, burning, pillaging and having fun in hell.
@FightingFitKravMaga and i truly feel sorry that you bend your knees, and the rest of your life to something that is not real, that you will never experience what i do, and you may say, neither will you, but atleast i know, i am truly beautiful i didnt have to be created that this universe is so beautiful and amazing that 14 billion years of chance and 4 billion years of evolution lets us sit here and talk, a god demeens us, i am truly great, i am a god, we all are, i am not created, i am
@FightingFitKravMaga religous people, im assuming you are, its that you think your the center of everyhting, a universe created for you, that your so fucking special and smart, that you take bull shit information which already has answers and ask it to people not so educated in the field. as you pretend you are as you take the question from one of your leading religous figures who are trying to pollute peoples ideas with falsehoods and bullshit
@FightingFitKravMaga look at information and then not have an good answer for any of your proposals you think are so intelligent and are true facts which make evolution false, coming from your own self motivated interests. HUMBLE your self with the truth, and DO NOT think so much of your self that you are smarter then people that have studied this there whole lives that you are smarter then the entire sceintfic community which almost FULLY supports the theory... this is whats wrong with you
that you siting in your humble home and i in mine would think so much of your self to disregard the greatest scientists of our time and accepted scientific truths, that you are smarter then ALL OF THEM, that you SOME HOW have all this special fucking information that they have never seen before, that they look at and then go HUH WE DONT FUCKING KNOW LETS NOT WORRY ABOUT IT, the truth is, they do, science is a rigorous analysis of all aspects of its fields, NO SCIENTIST, will EVER
@FightingFitKravMaga scholars of our time, that you challenge there educated work with your bull shit you get from selected sources and was taught to you by your parents or friends or motivated by your own blind will of your religion then you truly are bigoted and blind, that you learned a few specific examples that you recite over and over again to prove that you are correct because you simply havnt met someone who is truly learned in the matter. How dare you challenge our brightest minds
@FightingFitKravMaga would you happen to have a graduates degree in biology, have studied evolution and its facts for many years of your life, written books on the subject, be a learned scientist. None of us here have time to actually conduct true studies and examine evidence for evolution. I do not know enough to have a detailed arguement but i can say that, if you really fucking think that you are more inteliigient in this matter then all of the most learned scientists, Jesuits and great
@FightingFitKravMaga pt 1: Evolution does not posit "improvement" by whatever standard you hold. Rather, it is a process by which organisms become *fit* to their environment. Alligators and others have remained virtually unchanged not because evolution stopped happening or never did happen, but because they are already so fit to their environment that there is no need for new changes to be selected.

Carl Sagan - "Our collective free time needs to shift as much as possible to education. Whether you're a young student or finished school long ago, get out to the library whenever you can and work hard to learn everything you can about this world. Each individual and society will benefit from being able to solve more problems and make better decisions. Education is an amazing discovery process that repays you endlessly."

@zeperx Carl isnt a voice of/for Atheism and would have never wanted to be. He himself was not an atheist and thought atheism was stupid and relegated for those arrogant enough to think that they know everything about the universe. He was actually a "Pantheist", an idea where there is still a "god" but this god is not a human male figure or anything like that, this god is the combination of all of the laws of physics.
DrWockles 1 month ago in playlist Carl Sagan Tribute Series
@zeperx Dont get me wrong, i am not religious and up until i read his words i myself thought i was an atheist. But he has that way of making things so simple and this was his quote on his religious beliefs "An atheist has to know a lot more than I know. An atheist is someone who knows there is no god. By some definitions atheism is very stupid". He goes on to say that the only way you can know there isnt a god is an infinitely old universe, which is something we have proved yet :)

DrWockles 1 month ago in playlist Carl Sagan Tribute Series
@DrWockles You make an excellent point. I was not aware of his stated view on what he thought of as Atheism.
However, what I hear in his words are a skepticism towards religion as it is presented. Through the scientific method we have attained a piece of freedom from ignorance - we don't have to take anyone's word on faith. I believe that is those with this faith that show the arrogance that Sagan spoke of in your quote - to claim to know with absolute certainty.
zeperx 1 month ago
@DrWockles Atheism to me is the rejection of supernatural ideas that require faith and the willing suspension of critical thinking to accept. This is not to say that I have ruled out the possibility of a higher power. I cite Socrates when he said, "The only thing I know is that I know nothing."
I projected my own thoughts concerning Atheism onto Mr. Sagan's words, as I believed they resonated. I concede my error, and thank you for bringing it to my attention.
zeperx 1 month ago
@zeperx no problem :) and i also fully accept your point as well. To me the whole Atheism point of view can be viewed in several ways depending on context and also what is right to view as a "god". I was viewing it in the literal term of atheism that there is no god of any sort and even though personally i dont believe there is a god in the way that religion states, i do believe the laws stated by physics are unbreakable.
DrWockles 1 month ago in playlist Carl Sagan Tribute Series
@DrWockles & @zeperx - I think the definition of atheism has moved on from Carl's interpretation; even Dawkins acknowledges that he cannot be certain there is no god, so counts himself an agnostic atheist (a view to which I subscribe). Carl's definition of atheist would actually now be describe an anti-theist. I used to be Pantheist/Deist i.e. laws of nature = God, then I realised they neither cared for, nor required, my reverence or worship, so then I just started calling them 'physics'.
Stonewaller87 2 weeks ago
@Stonewaller87 that is actually a pretty stellar (pardon the pun XD) way of summing it up. Also a fantastic way of showing that real science is never static and is constantly dynamic, and with its changing movements our understanding of everything that it affects must continue on with it
DrWockles 2 weeks ago
@Stonewaller87 That being said though, even though i consider myself a Pantheist i do not as such worship the laws of nature. I just feel that in their, in no other way to put it, invulnerability makes them a divine thing. Not divine in any way that any religion would state, but in the sheer fact that they are unbreakable (in order with today's science) just like any religion will say about its own God/gods

@zeperx to quote Carl Sagan again in another one of his interviews on his views and beliefs "Some people think God is an outsized, light-skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky, busily tallying the fall of every sparrow..."

@zeperx "...Others—for example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einstein—considered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws."

Callum I found these videos while preparing to teach a college course about pseudoarchaeology. I had just read The Demon-Haunted World, and while I don't entirely embrace Sagan's skepticism (no anthropologist can attack strange beliefs the way he did), I am inspired by him. This video series is a nice accompaniment to the terrible clarity of his thought.

@FightingFitKravMaga "They do not say in their hearts, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives the rain in its season, the autumn rain and the spring rain, and keeps for us the weeks appointed for the harvest.’" Clearly the Bible believed that droughts were a manifestation of gods anger and times of plenty meant you had prayed enough.

Sharks, Paleospinax with its detached upper jaw, Spathobatis and finally Protospinax in the late jurassic after which Nurse sharks and other modern forms started to appear. Your statement is also massively vague, sharks have not 'remained the same, the subclass of Elasmobranchii has huge diversity; Heterodontiformes, Orectolobiformes, Lamniformes and Carcharhiniformes just to name a few, the fact that you argue these points with such obvious ignorance is damning to say the least.

Bacteria have been around for billions of years and populate every continent and contribute to most of the biomass of the planet yet you would probably say they haven't changed a bit (well they have, they are definitely more specialized than before) the shark is an apex predator but nonetheless its evolutionary lineage is relatively well documented, we have Cladoselach (an extremely early shark) moving on to Tristychius a primitive proto shark, Ctenacanthus which is ancestral to all modern

"Evolution is internally inconsistent. It posits that all life must continuously improve" facepalm.jpg, survival of the fittest is not about 'being better' because 'better' is a null concept and would require some separate entity to keep some form of tab on every lifeform and measure them by some criteria. Evolution does not constantly make something better, it is merely a system that works towards a being that can survive, in the eyes of evolution bacteria is far 'better' than a human

@FightingFitKravMaga "Can you even explain the absolute laws of rationality using natural law?" Rationality is an approach to observable patterns which natural law was derived from.

@FightingFitKravMaga Its true that the thought of eternal rest keeps me up now and then. I can't tell you how to cope with death other than it is a necessary part of life.

@FightingFitKravMaga I'm not saying that you shouldnt be happy. And I don't think the search for meaning in this universe is strictly a scientific experience. The endeavor to understand the universe can be a powerful experience like trying to understand the mind of God. I don't think our experience on this Earth should be limited to the specifications put forth in a book written thousands of years ago. Live your life for yourself and those around you. You don't need religion to love life.

@FightingFitKravMaga Death is a reality that we all have to face. I'm not against religion, there is great wisdom to be found in their teachings. I believe it is a great tool for creating cohabitable environments, but too many people focus on the "promises" that religion gives them rather than the teachings. I have no problem with a person of faith if they accept the possibility that their God doesn't have an afterlife waiting for them.
Whimzy74 6 months ago
@FightingFitKravMaga What we have gathered from the observable universe is that there has not been interaction between a higher power and the nature of the cosmos, everything is progressing unstifled. If there is a gawd, it is only a spectator and has no real part in our lives. Fear has caused humanity to develop great coping mechanisms to block out the reality of things. "Free thought" is used by the fearless to solve the mysteries of the universe. Freedom from thought is faith.

@FightingFitKravMaga pt 1: Evolution does not posit "improvement" by whatever standard you hold. Rather, it is a process by which organisms become *fit* to their environment. Alligators and others have remained virtually unchanged not because evolution stopped happening or never did happen, but because they are already so fit to their environment that there is no need for new changes to be selected.
