  • Im in that sexy part of youtube again

  • As of January 16, 2012. 13000 people have shouted out against ignorance by the desire to know.

  • I am a heretic. I believe in God, but i do feel that the words preached in churches today are far skewed and twisted to fit the personal objectives of the churches. Also the words in the bible cannot all be taken literal. I feel also that science and the religions of the world may, in some way, be intertwined. If man is to venture to the stars,i believe, we must come to realize that we are all people with a heart and should pass compassion to everyone.

    One is All and All is One.

  • I am a heretic. I am a firm supporter of skeptical inquiry and the enlightenment. I reject the writings of bronze age philosophers whose aims were to try an understand the world around them through flawed pattern recognition. I believe that humanity will accomplish wonderful things for itself when it realizes the regressive, anthropocentric tenancies of following it's antiquated tales contrived by its fore fathers. When it shackles off allowing morality and understanding to continue evolving.

  • @FASpitfire When it's shackles are cast off*

  • I am a heretic. I am an atheist transhumanist. I believe the merging of man and machine, and mankind's harnessing of its own evolution as our only escape from our own destruction. I believe that our tendencies towards hate, bigotry, shame, predjudice and unrelenting fear are not the meddling of supernatural beings, but the result of flawed biological minds and can be overcome through science. We posses great love, compassion, empathy and hope and may we further these traits. Spread the word.

  • I am a heretic. I am an atheist humanist. I try to see good in the world, but it is a rarity in our hate-filled world. But i still have faith in humanity because of those who say they do not care about my disbelief. And when i think of a god or gods, i laugh at the idea. My disbelief cant be changed, because of its gigantic amount of evidence, for evolution and the big bang theory. And it started with this series. Thank you Callum for such an enlightening experience.

  • I am a heretic. I'm an agnostic humanist. I believe in the overall good of Humanity. I do not believe in a god(s) or a flying spaghetti monster, however I also admit that we do not know all that there is. There is doubt and that doubt will remain for millions of years, until we have exhausted the unknown. Only then, might we know the answers to our greatest questions.

  • Anybody know where I can get the music played in this video? I love it.

  • @firemonkey16

    It's from the movie "The Fountain." It's a very good soundtrack, and an interesting movie.

  • I am a heretic. I believe that we are a child species who is trying to grow up. We are toddlers now, and it is time for us to grow up again, time for us to walk. To investigate our surroundings without the threat of religious fear. It's time for us to grow up.

  • @rounder421 I am a heretic. I like your analogy but, I feel that we are more in an adolesence not an infancy. We know so much about our world and the information is there for many people but, like teenagers we are disinterested and lash out emotionally when being confronted with our iresponsibility. If we are to come into our adulthood we must confront the wilfull ignorance that has become our polite and comfortable society. Our own neglect of the truth will destroy us.

  • I am a heretic. I believe that what we do here, is what truly matters. Every kindness, every act of anger from one human to another is what defines us. I believe that life is precious, and should not be disrespected by viewing it as a transient tryout. I believe that I am kind, because I choose to be, not because I fear cosmic retribution, or seek reward. I believe that this place we have is quite amazing, we should rejoice in life.

  • I am a heretic. I believe in something greater than myself. This "something" is not a supernatural being. This "something" is not mystical forces that defy explanation. This "something" is not a religious sect or a minority extremist religious view. This "something" is something we all can relate to.

    That something... is us. Right here. Right now. I am more spellbound by the sheer awesomeness of us, humanity, reaching for the stars, and allowing ourselves to have that something:

    To have dreams.

  • I am a heretic. I believe in the good of humankind and I refute the mystic belief that we are evil creatures that must need saving from a deity. I believe the universe is ours to explore and that it will forever challenge us for it has always been the challenge that brings out the best of us. We have explored unknown lands, chartered vast seas, discovered the power the atom and escaped the gravity of our world. The Age of Humanity must begin now and all are welcome regardless of race or creed.

  • Why do people have trouble with unanswered questions? why must we make up stories to answer them and then insist they are true? why not insist on FACT, on evidence? why do people carry on the obviously ignorant views of their ancestors and trying forming their own views?...my species makes such little sense.

  • i find i always come and watch a Carl Sagan video when im in need for some knowledge and wisdom, :)

  • Kudos to you callum. I wish you a bright future in whatever career you pursue. And thank you Carl - You live on in our hearts and minds and through your videos, in our children's as well.

  • I loved him The Matrix

    "Mr Anderson, we meet again"

  • Ok it's about time for the next video. We're ready! ;-)

  • Excellent use of Clint Mansell. I have an uncontrollable urge to listen to the Fountain Soundtrack now.

  • These videos stir in me a great deal of emotion. Thank you for reigniting Carl's thoughts. If you are ever in the Atlanta area - please look me up for a free round of drinks and discussion. mfrederick[at]howstuffworks[.]­com

  • It's been over a month, I need my dosage of Sagan...

  • AH! Can't wait for the next one. This series is utterly awesome.

  • Speechless

  • Everyday I come back from college and check if there is a new video and watch the last part again if no new vid :(

    Nice work

  • First of all great choice of music. really love both the movie and the beautiful soundtrack by Mansell. Second if you're planning on career-hunting, why not do 'this' for a living. You know ... guys like Khan started doing this for fun/relatives/friends. I think you've got what it takes to make great and engaging educational/science clips.

  • overall one of the most beautiful videos, the music is breath taking.. The only crit is that it just kind fizzles out at the end.. I was sitting there waiting for one last sentence to really do justice to the entire piece and the music

  • Three people want to be the center of the universe

  • Is this music from the movie The Fountain?

  • @brajamtho757 Indeed..

  • Carl Sagan is my mentor and hero. thank you so much for these beautiful videos to accompany this mans poetic way of explaining the universe.

    i subscribed immediately and i can't wait for more from this series!

  • 16.th OF JULY IN 1054.AD CHRISTIANITY WAS SEPARATED ON THE TWO PARTS....ROMAN AND BYZANTINE. THE ORIGINAL CHRISTIANITY(read ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY) NEVER HAD SOMETHING LIKE "HOLY INQUISITION

    '.....THE ONE TRUTH,THE ONE WAY AND THE ONE LIGHT!!!

    GO TO THE JERUSALEM AND SEE THE "GRAVE" OF JESUS CHRIST....ANSWER WHO EXACTLY KEEPING THIS PLACE AND WHY?

  • i'm sorry to say this because i love all your work and that of Carl Sagan's, but this tree of life music is, quite literally, TOO good. It detracts from the discussion. One finds themselves sucked into the music more than the video.

  • Actually Galileo's case is quite complex. He was a huge ass, stealin' other people discoveries, wasting his good relations with church (that at time had numerous, scientists, Copernicus himself was a priest), offending people kind towards him. Finally he defended his claims with wrong arguments (tides). So while he was right, he was totally wrong in his defense. Galileo was no hero nor martyr. Just stubborn ass, accidentaly right.

  • ...an obscure clod of matter, mostly harmless.

  • This and 'The Frailty of Knowledge' both fill me with a feeling of great sorrow, but, at the same time I feel like there's much to learn from both; we've come a long way as a society and we must never repeat the mistakes of the past. Great vid callum, keep up the great work!

  • Keep up the work :D I had a smile when i saw you uploaded another video

  • @mnagmobile Then don't bother commenting or watching

  • I am a heretic. Click "Like" if you are one, too.

  • Congratulations Callum! You did it again! Successfully put together image, text, voice, consciousness, music in a harmonic way just few among us are able to. You and Sagan are a formidable couple in the task of brings light to humankind.

  • I cannot express to you how much I enjoy these videos. You do a masterful job editing the timeless voice of Sagan with beautiful music and compelling images. I think everyone should see these.

  • A compilation of these videos of Dr.Sagan's epic statements on humanity , coupled with callumCGLP's magic and vision should be placed as a self play audio if we ever launch another Viking project. At least if some intelligent life form were to encounter it they will see the hopeful ,optimistic ,passionate, young yet confident side of our species .Thank you Carl and callumCGLP , our future depends on the truth.

  • Thank you so much for all your work!

  • Thanks Callum, for some of the best videos on youtube.

  • I love the music in these videos does anybody know where I can get it?

  • this video shows adequate reasons enough not to believe in the Catholic Church and, by extension Christianity.

    Religion has so often been wrong about reality, how do we know they are not also wrong about god (or any deity)?

  • @FreedomLiberty21 catholicism is not christianity, I have no idea where this sprung up, when I would ask people if they were christian they'd say "No, I'm catholic"

  • @GoldfishLight is Jesus Christ considered the primary (indeed only) deity of the Catholic faith? yes, then its Christian. Don't bullshit people about what is or isn't a part of Christianity if you don't know.

    I grew up in that mind numbing religion (until I reached the age of reason, which for me was when I turned 16)

    As far as I know, only Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses are questionable in their association with Christianity. Some scholars have said those two denominations are quasi-Christian

  • @FreedomLiberty21 They pretty much worship his MOM... lol

  • @FreedomLiberty21 Jehovahs Witnesses believe Jesus is Gods son. i was raised as one and it took 20 years for me to realize ALL religion is bullshit.

  • Science is the only religion I need...

    Having faith in something that is unprovable is not the way I want to live.. But I admire the fact that at least we are given a choice to believe what we want.. not just what we hear or see.. It is a gift that is taken for granted.. and taken advantage of..

  • I don't usually comment on your videos (I only watch them :)) but since this is the 20th part, I'd like to give you a few words of encouragement and say that your editing is great and the material is still going strong. These videos are great educational material for everyone, and the narration of the only public person I truly admire, Carl Sagan, only makes it better.

    Peace out and keep up the great work!

  • This is one of the better birthday presents I've gotten today. Thanks!

  • Thank you so much for sharing this. Clint Mansell and Carl Sagan together are like a fine wine.

  • Callum, thanks for all your work and dedication to bringing the words of Carl Sagan again to life for us. Good luck with your Studies and career hunting. We fans will just have to be patient for the coming uploads.

  • I was just called a Marxist for saying progress is good by a guy who randomly starts talking about how black people are all gang members.

    I need some Carl Sagan right about now to get some of the stupid out of my ears!

  • Why does nobody discuss Giordano Bruno? I mean, I understand, I'm ok with Galileo being talked about, but Giordano didn't "just get to inspect" the torture devices. Being burned at the stake for talking about the universe being full of stars - suns with planets, planets with life - etc. seems like something modern society might want to remember more than it does. At least I didn't hear about him next to Copernicus and Galileo in my earlier years.

  • @badblueman

    I did. I'm from Europe though. We learned about him along with Galileo and Copernicus and the rest.

  • @d3st88 I'm from Europe too, and I don't think they even mentioned the Mongol invasion. Anyway... very chaotic classes in my case.

  • Dude... you works are wonderful. Whenever I see a new upload, i just get so excited :)

  • I love your work :-)

  • Innumerable suns exist. Innumerable Earths revolve around these. Living beings inhabit these worlds. Giordano Bruno, 1548 -1600, Burnt at the stake for heresy.

  • @silversobe sir i read your comment, and shead a tear for a man that was murdered by ignorance.

  • @silversobe Thank you for shedding light on Giordano Bruno. I never knew of his existence and I was moved by what I read. What a brilliant and brave man he was!

  • That movie, The Stoning of Soraya M was one of the most entense/sad movies I've seen in a long time. Based on true accounts

  • Getting deep

  • beautiful

  • You, Sir, deserve a lot more viewers. Your videos have great production value. I am grateful that you keep uploading them.

    I will post this video on facebook to see if it helps. Have a good day.

  • This is my favorite video so far... you have truly made a work of art! bravo my friend, Bravo. Carl would be proud

  • Love these videos! Thank you for sharing!

  • Does the stoning of women 5:16 still happen today?

  • @helpvidz Yes, it is a lawful punishment in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Sudan, Iran, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, and some states in Nigeria. The Old Testament prescribes stoning for a litany of "crimes", the remnants of which are still seen around the world.

  • @callumCGLP That is absolutely disgusting. Thank you for the upload.

  • Comment removed

  • @callumCGLP How many more parts are coming? Or do you not even know? Great job on these...

  • @callumCGLP

    As does the genital mutilation of women. And men, let us not forget and in the US of A no less.

  • @helpvidz Not only this, but even more barbarism, like chopping off hands/feets, gougeing eyes out, witch burning, beheading, all in the name of religion, both Islam and Christianity.

  • @helpvidz

    While the victims of stoning are mostly women, men are getting stoned to death as well. Religious executions have other ways of doing the job: hanging, firing squad, lashing to death, burying alive and so on. These are fairly common in some islamic states on the east and africa and christian states mainly in Africa, but you don't have to go too far to find such things.

  • @helpvidz

    If you follow the news you'll realize that an awful lot of children are being murdered in the US by their own parents by denying them medicine for religious reasons. Gay teens are bullied to a wretched life and not rarely suicide. Stem cell research is halted on religious grounds, education is constantly under attack, kids are indoctrinated into evil shit, like the original sin, the rapture, dominionism and so on. The list is endless, really.

  • @helpvidz In certain part of the world, yes.

  • @helpvidz Yes.

  • @helpvidz All the countries callum listed also imprison and execute homosexuals.

  • Love this series. Again much thanks callumCGLP.

  • I hope everyone will forgive me in the coming months as the uploads slow down. Starting my last year as an undergrad and going career-hunting! So the uploads won't be near as fast-and-furious as they have been this summer.

  • @callumCGLP Forgive you??

    You gotta be kidding, all I can do is thank you!

    Another really amazing episode, I could listen to Carl speak all day... as a matter of fact I've spent quite a few afternoons going through your playlists doing just that!

    Thank you so much, I really appreciate all the effort you've put into compiling these!

    Just a small thing I'd like to point out though, you might want to put up a warning with regards to the footage of the stoning...

  • @nuckable

    That footage of stoning was from a movie and a mild Hollywood movie contains worse violence, I believe.

    I recommend you to watch a few real footages of stonings / executions. It is enlightening and inspiring to watch people savagely murder other people for the horrible crime of.. having sex before marriage, eating during the time of feast or disobeying other nonsense religious laws. Murdering their peers while praising their respective gods.

  • @d3st88 I didn't mention it because I couldn't look at it or anything, I merely mentioned it because otherwise it might get flagged.

  • @callumCGLP Slow down!? What like one every 2 months? Well as long as you dont stop.

  • @callumCGLP good luck to you on the career hunting and school!

  • @callumCGLP Thanks a lot for these awesome tribute videos. They're very well edited!

    Good luck with your last year as an undergraduate!

  • @callumCGLP best of luck with your finals. Your videos are always worth the wait.

  • @callumCGLP Take your time your videos are top-notch :D

  • @callumCGLP awesome man, what college do you attend? I go to the University of Georgia.

  • nice

  • CARL SAGAN IS THE BEST !

  • it's really difficult to have a bad day when I see a new upload from you. I started an astronomy class this week and we've already talked a little about carl and his impact on the world. I'm really excited for the class, and for this channel

  • @dspudboy15 Glad to hear it! Email the channel to your professor and see if he/she will play it in class :)

  • @callumCGLP If our physics prof. brings up a cosmological topic, i'll gladly refer him to your channel.
