I think however things have regressed from the time of the interview, and the majority of people have gone back to being scientifically ignorant; and when that happens, religion seems more believable.
In 1966 you could turn on the television and you'd watch an interview with leading scientists, telling the public the truth and what they think as they dismiss the myth of UFOs. Today you turn on the Discovery Channel, and 9 times out of 10 they will be running a UFO conspiracy show and few scientists, if any, are shown.
@Pilaf1984 Carl Sagan did not exist. There are people who said he did but that is heresay. I see a photo of someone who they claim to be Sagan but all I see is a face.
I hear a voice but everyoner has a voice so it could be anyone's. Sagan did not exist.
@JoEEll2233 That isn't an argument. Millions of people can verify having seen or met Carl Sagan, there is countless footage of him and many books written by him. This somehow proves Jesus exists, right? Wrong. It's not like there was a book written about him by someone who never met him--like Jesus and the Bible authors who claimed he was real.
@ArtofRi0t No, Sagan tells it like it is. Dawkins just says whatever he needs to make himself feel like a big man. Fucking asshole. His supporters have no right to claim he's carrying on Sagan's legacy.
@JohnF30Music Because he isn't. He's an embittered man who, bored with his life, decided he needed to tell other people how and what to think. Sagan on the other hand, always let us choose for ourselves. He was never the smug, condescending, ass-hole that Dawkins is.
@pytko3 Um, Sagan is a cosmologist and Dawkins is a biologist, and from different countries. They are completely different people, why are you even comparing the two?
And by the way, i find summing someones life up in that way to be detestable. You cannot know what someone is like merely by hearing things they say, you narrow minded nitwit.
I'm not calling you a "stupid" person by the way, only "stupid" on this particular matter.
@Axiodox How you perceive me and my opinion won't change it. Dawkins is a smug, self-assured condescending ,arrogant twat. Sagan is the superior intellect, the superior teacher, and the superior man. Dawkins will never have the influence on the masses as Sagan did.
@pytko3 Jeez chill, I didn't even explicitly say you were wrong or that i was trying to change your opinion.
When a person puts a judgement on another person, this is whats happening:
An intricate and complex series of mutations is using electricity to put forth that another intricate and complex series of mutations is using an electrical current incorrectly.
It should all boil down to "so the fuck what? It does not matter"
What I mean is just enjoy the life you have while you have it, peace.
@Axiodox You tell hoim not to judge a person based on a snippet of their life then you call him a twat because of what you see in the little snippet of his life. Hypocrite.
@ArtofRi0t Professor Carl Sagan had a higher IQ than Professor Richard Dawkins. He was also much less dogmatic than Dawkins in his disbelief in a Divine Creator/Deity of some sort.
Nevertheless, Sagan and Dawkins did have certaub things in common. For example, the distinguished American physicist and astronomer (who died in December 1996) was consistently and firmly opposed to organized, God fearing religions, such as Islam, Judaism and Christianity. The same is true of the English
@Blurtex33 guy looks like something out of jaws. just take any of Quint's lines and replace shark or fish with black hole or dark matter and you have yourself a real character.
It seems that as time goes by, this crossover from religious belief to scientific knowledge is hitting people at a rate relative to their respective intelligence. Yes, I am infact saying that as time goes by, the average intelligence of the community of believers drops, as those who are smart enough to realize the truth, indeed are.
Carl Sagan is definitely one of my inspirations in life. While I don't concur a 100% with his theories, his vision of the origins of the Universe (at least down to our understanding works) and especially about our path as a civilization in the future, that I want to live in a society that has no prejudices against any race or religion or nationality, and can see their neighbors as a human beings with the same rights and opportunities as everyone else to live a decent life.
I can't believe how young and yet mature he was here. Sagan is about 31 or 32 here, yet he has a maturity of a much older man. He doesn't at all act like a man just barely out of his young 20s. So grounded, so dignified and adult.
@gothatway09 Yes, Professor Sagan was 32 years of age in 1966. So it is hardly surf*****gprising that he conducted himself in an adult manner. After all, adolescence ends WAY before the age of 32. In Great Britain (the country in which I live) people are generally considered to be fully-fledged adults at 21.
You say (and I quote): "He doesn't at all act like a man just barely out of his young 20s. So grounded, so dignified and adult."
@gothatway09 [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about the 1966 footage of Professor Carl Sagan] 30s were basically just adolescent kids, with a lot of growing up still to do, you would have said: "He doesn't at all act like a BOY just barely out of his young 20s."
@TheEctomorph You're a person who says something like (and I quote sir/madam) "surf*****gprising" and you expect yourself to be taken as a serious grown adult? I don't know why the tone of your post towards me is so acerbic, nor do I care about a person like yourself. I do KNOW plenty of single people in their early 30s that behave more or less like more seasoned 21 year olds, drinking, partying and clubbing every weekend. Sagan as a young early 30s man here seems wise beyond his years.
@gothatway09 Sir: I have nothing against you on a personal level; I just felt that one of your comments about the (youngish) Carl Sagan was a bit condescending and patronizing, that's all. The comment to which I refer is: "He doesn't at all act like a man just barely out of his young 20s. So grounded, so dignified and adult."
As I said in my earlier 'post' on this You Tube board, adolescence ends WAY before the age of 32 (or even 30, for that matter.)
@gothatway09 [Continuing on from my previous 'post']
adult would use the term "surf*****gprising", well I can assure you that in Great Britain (the country in which I live) a great many middle-aged men - and women - DO use that term on a frequent basis. FYI, they also use expletives which are WAY stronger than "surf*****gprising." Does that mean that they are not fully-fledged mature adults? The answer to that question - in my considered opinion - is an emphatic "no".
Interesting that now (1990s on) UFOs are about abductions and menacing--Back in 1966, according to Sagan, they were wise and benevolent aliens. What happened? Vietnam, Watergate, Reagan, etc, etc.?
Here's the thing, and I am a true devil's advocate, I just love to argue...I'm going to defend Ufology here while on Ufologist videos I'll defend the scientific orthodoxy, I just refuse to be agreeable. There's a scientific term for it: Dickheadery
Anyway, here's the thing...they need to watch what they say. When you say there's no evidence of UFOs, while probably just a mistake of wording, is patently false. UFOs are real and in great abundance. ETs? Ok, not so much. But UFOs? Different story
I know what they mean, but they need to state it specifically. One problem is that people can't distinguish between ET life and UFOs when there is a difference. This is partially the gov's fault for not distinguishing between the two. Had they done so, people might not automatically jump to rash conclusions like "it must be an alien" as they do now.
@jackiedegracia Well the term UFO is believed to means something from space mostly because of movies I would say. Wouldnt it be a bit strange if the gov constantly remainded people that UFO`s werent neccessarily from space? :P
man he was so ahead of his time. a real grounded man, such a disciplined scientific mind married to a human spirit open to the potential future discoveries. i miss you carl. im so thankful you shared your gifts with us when you were here.
Wow Neet! I've never seen Mr Sagan so young before! He sounds the same, but looks almost unrecognizeable. And as usual, he has great things to say. : ) It's almost like seeing pictures of your dad before you were born. : )
What a smart, sharp young man... You can tell , he can't wait to drive back home from the interview light up some weed and play his newly-purchased Rubber Soul album
I can't imagine what sort of badassery took place as soon as this interview was over. Sagan and Pipebeard probably grabbed a suitcase full of drugs, drove to Vegas, and kicked the shit out of some aliens.
the connection between alien visitations and angelic visitations is explored much more deeply in Sagan's book "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark", for anyone interested. excellent book!
Regarding 2:10 - We had no evidence that exoplanets existed until about 15 years ago. People just assumed that they did as a quasi-religious faith position.
There was good reason to assume there were other planets, other than those in our solar system, though. If one star had them, why couldn't one of the other billions have some?
It's the same reason why we can assume life exists somewhere in the universe that's not Earth-born. We know life exists somewhere in the universe, why can't we assume that it exists somewhere else as well (it's obviously never visited Earth, though).
Think about how much more we know now. We havn't found life or anything close to that but we know of more than 500 planets around other stars, maybe even as much as 1,700 to 1,800 planets several dozen of wich could be within that habatble zone. Ine one system so far known they have found possibly three planet within the habitable zone, only time will tell.
Carl Sagan covers similar territory in his book "The Demon Haunted World", in which he directly compares witness accounts of aliens and angels (they are shockingly similar).
@KemaTheAtheist - Because people no longer have the respect for scientists that they once did. All people want is their reality TV crap, they don't want to hear some scientist talk about things that actually matter. Survivor is on! Who cares about this nerd?! I can watch poorly scripted scantily clad women and guys without shirts on!
For people who say they like Carl Sagan and the knowlege he possessed and loved to share you sure talk trashy and show a lack of intelligent conversational skills.
@420debsc You should know better than to look for intelligent conversation on the internet. Four comments above you it says "FIRST DISLIKE :D" and the comment underneath "I liek bananas"
@dragonfire981 Why would I be mad? I just want Ian Malcolm's opinion on the subject. Maybe you should google him before you make yourself seem not smart.
Yes, Carl Sagan, Science has destroyed theology........it's just a matter of time until we see the results. I look forward to that day. Don't think I'll actually see it in my day but the day is coming. So sad you're gone but that is life.............

There was good reason to assume there were other planets, other than those in our solar system, though. If one star had them, why couldn't one of the other billions have some?
It's the same reason why we can assume life exists somewhere in the universe that's not Earth-born. We know life exists somewhere in the universe, why can't we assume that it exists somewhere else as well (it's obviously never visited Earth, though).

Think about how much more we know now. We havn't found life or anything close to that but we know of more than 500 planets around other stars, maybe even as much as 1,700 to 1,800 planets several dozen of wich could be within that habatble zone. Ine one system so far known they have found possibly three planet within the habitable zone, only time will tell.

Carl Sagan covers similar territory in his book "The Demon Haunted World", in which he directly compares witness accounts of aliens and angels (they are shockingly similar).

@KemaTheAtheist - Because people no longer have the respect for scientists that they once did. All people want is their reality TV crap, they don't want to hear some scientist talk about things that actually matter. Survivor is on! Who cares about this nerd?! I can watch poorly scripted scantily clad women and guys without shirts on!
Kind of makes you sad

I about busted a lung when just after gazing adoringly at Sagan, he pulls out the pipe and lit up...
Eye patch? Check
Tobacco Pipe? Check
Links to shadowy organization? Checkmate!
Why did I have to miss the 60s?

I don't know the other astronomer next to Mr Carl, but he looks pretty bad ass, smoking a pipe and having a piratey eye patch on television.

For people who say they like Carl Sagan and the knowlege he possessed and loved to share you sure talk trashy and show a lack of intelligent conversational skills.

Yes, Carl Sagan, Science has destroyed theology........it's just a matter of time until we see the results. I look forward to that day. Don't think I'll actually see it in my day but the day is coming. So sad you're gone but that is life.............
