[Osumsoss]

Who does that one dislike think he's kidding, he knows he loves these videos.

[claton95]

Who disliked this? what?

[1111Paiste]

@claton95 Most likely a Creationist...

[stodluke]

These are amazing, continue to make them.

[MrSupercat9]

Thanks again Callum. Always good for a little inspiration

[drewber2635]

You literally are making a impact for the greater callum. Everyone should hear Sagan

[theChillDude]

Keep up the awesome work Callum. Your an inspiration.

[mitchelnext1]

@theChillDude can't...stand... his an inspiration? what about his an inspiration?

[marasu66]

[chrbarrol2]

"gonna smoke w33d to this xD grab ur bong and thumb up this comment of you smoked to this too!"

Seriously grow up. Nobody gives a shit about how much weed you smoked.

[ShinzukuTomoke]

@chrbarrol2 Nobody gives a shit if you get mad about it.

[MySNsucks923]

You're work is amazing and truly inspiring. It's really an eye opener to have Sagans work reanimated to modern media. Keep up the great work!

[makkathran]

Callum, where did you get the time lapse footage from 0:40 seconds in to 1:10? I remember it from somewhere from when I was like 6 or 7, that's 10 years ago, but I can't quite remember.

[callumCGLP]

@makkathran You might be thinking of some other show, as that clip is from BBC's First Life with David Attenborough which aired in 2010. Amazing documentary, nevertheless.

[makkathran]

@callumCGLP Yeah, I figured it would be from on of David Attenborough's documentaries. It looks very similar to one from Walking with Dinosaurs, which aired I don't know how long ago. Thanks!

[Elyphaleth]

@makkathran @callumCGLP I'm pretty sure that is from BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs. 1999.

[makkathran]

@Elyphaleth 1999. That sounds about right. I would've been 5 (or older, as it would have aired later in my country).

[ThatGuyCalledPhillip]

@makkathran I believe it was from Walking With Dinosaurs. I have it on VHS and got it when I was a kid probably back in the early 00's.

[makkathran]

@ThatGuyCalledPhillip ah.. the good old VHS player! Yep, it is from Walking With Dinosaurs. Thanks guys! I forgot to mention... great work Callum!!! :)

[IgnoranceAlliance]

great video,  ..felt like I was really learning, evolving even. ..then they show boobs.

[XTruth]

god dayumm this shit is hella good!

[IronChuck]

A perfect way to get into the right mind set for a new year...

As always, my humble thanks.

[skyblazer7]

Polymerase FTW. :)

[d3st88]

Callum, you are a god amongst men.

[juddylovespizza]

Great video

[marasu66]

The first seconds of the next cosmic year start after the Northern Winter {Southern Summer} Solstice of 2012.

[benblij]

thank you

[scifi75]

Callum, you are one of the examples why the internet is a positive force.

[cristianfcao]

How appropriate and wonderful. Thanks a lot for this Callum and have a happy 2012!!

[heavydeathmetalwaits]

Last night I had a great New Years Eve with friends, surrounded by good discussion and thoughts about the future. Then this morning I wake up to this video and it seems very appropriate. There are times ahead for every one of us that may seem insurmountable, but Sagan has a way of distilling things to their simplest terms - we are here, now, and it is up to us to "enhance life and come to know the universe". I know I'm going to try every goddamn day, until I slip back into the cosmic stardust.

[JPO1618]

"Without the tools of science, the machinery of life would be invisible."

Take That Religion!

[granttruman]

@JPO1618 science is an importent part of "religion" aka creation!

[granttruman]

@JPO1618 it takes more faith to believe in evolution, then it does to believe in Creation.

[callumCGLP]

@granttruman No.

[cristianfcao]

You can just believe/trust evolution, but you can also study it yourself and, after realizing that thousands of independent pieces of evidence converge, make an informed choice. For people who just want to believe/trust: you can either trust 99.9% of scientists who dedicated their lives to study and publish about the issue over 150 yrs or some crazy people who know nothing about the issue and for some obscure moral reason need to have a literal interpretation of an old book.

[JPO1618]

@granttruman ...you say on faith alone.

I never understand people of faith using "faith" in a demeaning way.

[dgreyz]

Actually you're kinda right there. When you don't understand how stuff works at all, and could only judge by faith, your natural anthropomorphized world would probably make you feel more comfortable with the idea of "creation". And from that same perspective, evolution would require much more faith to believe in.

[sagar246246]

@dgreyz bitch please

don't spew your nonsensical verbal diarrhea on a scientific video when you actually don't know shit about science, it just goes to show how much a retard you guys can be.

[truvelocity]

I remember watching this as a kid.

[FreedomLiberty21]

incredible and very creative

[FreedomLiberty21]

incredible and very creative

[majestic93]

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. My mind = blown.

I seriously love you for making these. This actually outdoes A Universe Not Made For Us. This is your finest. By far!

I have to congratulate you for making something as amazing as this.

[binxer5000]
