Carl Sagan's thoughts on existence of Aliens.

[clayton9m]

UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS!!!

Please?

[AstrotasticInSpace]

Sagan holding a baby. True happiness does not equate

[RangerParus]

@AstrotasticInSpace It would be so much more awesome if it was a dog he was holding.

[dilwich123]

I think its a very conceited person who believes there is no life other than that on planet Earth.

[TheFactoryReject]

The thing I like about scientists like Sagan and Feynman is that they admit that they aren't 100% certain. This is what makes science the ideal system.

[xDuBx420x]

Just a reminder to anyone who watches this and excitedly entertains the idea of aliens having visited us; just remember that the likelihood of other life in the universe is almost certain.

The likelihood of them being any more intelligent (in terms of our understanding of intelligence), however, is an entirely different story. There are probably 'living', moving organisms somewhere else in the universe.

The aliens you seen on television, not so much.

RIP Mr. Sagan; we've lost a genius.

[wojovox]

who's the baby?

[Jakeshark]

@wojovox Was just wondering that?

[dawtchins]

@Jakeshark his daughter i think

[Jakeshark]

@dawtchins Wow, never knew he had kids. Awesome.

[NickoD999]

Nice to see a video with only likes, and so many, and deservedly!

[mbe102]

I once said this to a Christian... his reply: "Its hard to find planets that have oxygen on them, and exact climates as our." And I said, "Thats if you assume that they're humans, or that whatever they may be even breathes oxygen. Maybe they breath nitrogen." His response. "... *walks away*". Logic, defeating Religion since... forever.

[carlybea]

@mbe102 religion and science are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

[xDuBx420x]

@carlybea Yes they are. Science is a specific methodology based on observation and gathering empirical evidence, in order to support conclusions and gain knowledge about the natural world.

"Natural" world here being the key word. Religion relies entirely on a fundamentally supernatural principle (God).

Anything that is based on the supernatural is not scientific; ghosts, vampires, zombies, astrology, psychics, and religion, are all examples of the supernatural (aka bullshit).

[xDuBx420x]

@carlybea The very meaning of the world supernatural essentially means that which lies outside of the natural world, meaning everything we can't see, hear, touch, observe, experiment on, etc.

For most scientific philosophers, the supernatural is basically a nice way of saying that which does not exist. There's nothing stopping me from claiming invisible other-wordly elephants that can't be observed exist all around you at all times. But it's bologna.

[c3o5nnect]

@xDuBx420x Who is to say that people who believe in God haven't made observations and gathered evidence of their own. You're speaking from your own point of view or lack thereof. So basically you're forming your own conclusions and stating them as fact. Seems to me like you're portraying one of the very things you're against. Everyone will believe what they want, however I'm not arrogant or ignorant enough to call what someone else believes "bullshit" based on my own personal beliefs.

[zenoparodie]

I love this man

[humaner]

There is no alien life only alien thoughts

[nemesis962074]

I was born 3 months after he died, what the fuck!

[conman2317]

Yeah the possibility of aliens (intelligent life) existing somewhere out there is 100% in my eyes, the chances of them either have or will visit earth 0.0000000000000000000001%.

[prodigyat9]

@conman2317

Proof of their intelligence!

[Neueregel]

Referendum : Vote for the year 2011 A.D. to be switched to 77 A.S. (Anno Saganum) !!

[marcuscnuccio]

Happy Birthday Mr. Sagan

[Spartan396]

It is his 77th birthday today. In all honesty, this man's birth deserves to be celebrated much more than the birth of Christ.

[Neueregel]

@Spartan396 So from now now, I begin this Sagan calendar. This year is 77 A.S.N (Anno Sagan-Neueregel) Happy silver Jubilee !!

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

@Neueregel

Excellent.

[Neueregel]

@SaganAppreciationSoc Thanks !! I meant to say about celebrating Sagan's Diamond Jubilee (for the 75 years) and not his Silver one(25yrs) . Also, after a meeting with the Sagan calendar committee (me, myself and myself), as a calendar CEO chair I decide to change the name from 77 A..S.N to a simpler: 77 A.S. (Anno Saganum)

[KarazhanIsCake]

@Spartan396 I agree, especially considering Carl Sagan actually existed.

[mirex951]

What a great great man!

[raulp123]

Happy birthday Carl Sagan!

[Tarantula33222]

Happy birthday old man...

R.I.P.

[ThatGuyCalledPhillip]

Happy birthday, Carl Sagan. You are missed.

[Spywizav]

happy birthday sagan :)

[Ryalnotch]

Think of how low the views are on many of Sagan´s videos, we that are here share intelligence and interests on some levels. We are Sagans :)

[Ryalnotch]

Haha my smile goes automatically up to my ears while watching this :D

[ModeLTU]

What an awesome guy he was

[Sativa1337]

happy birtday Carl, you will be remembered

[kolearian]

I would say "happy birthday" but those words would go unheard. Carl Sagan. Rest in Peace, you have been missed.

[strikername]

Happy birthday

[CannibalCatfish]

Happppppy Birthday

[coperone2]

Happy birthday, Carl.

[PunchRockGroin]

I'm jealous of that baby.

[jssherrard]

Videos like this remind me of how much I miss Carl Sagan; but perhaps more importantly, they remind me of how deeply grateful I am for his having lived to begin with.

[DeathNote207]

christians wait for the second coming of jesus, us atheists are waiting for the second coming are Carl Sagan!

[Axlite2]

You know how they've found and raised many incarnations of Dalai Lama etc.. Perhaps we should look into what it takes to raise another Sagan to find and raise a "reincarnate" of him. :P

[kolearian]

@Axlite2 I would join that religion, if it could be called that. Lol

[MrAdronScott]

so passionate about it. the world needs guys like him.

[firepower01]

Carl Sagan is my hero

[skyblazer7]

Now if only the people of Gliese 581d would point their main radio antenna at Sol and broadcast some Gliesian music for a few weeks, we would know...in twenty years....but hey, we would know. :D

[rpsmith014]

@skyblazer7 maybe so

[LaSalsaFresca]

What a great man. I only wish I had been alive to see him.

[w215philly]

Carl Sagan is like the Atheist Jesus... and I miss him :(

[padaii]

@w215philly He will return in the same way he left?

[w215philly]

@padaii Unfortunately, the answer to your question is no, but he will live on in our hearts and minds, and the hearts and minds of generations to come.

[moonomatic]

@padaii He is just as likely to do that as the 'real' jesus. ie. never.

[Tyrroi]

@w215philly Agnostic.

[Antipopularization]

@Tyrroi Atheist.

[Tyrroi]

@Antipopularization "My view is that if there is no evidence for it, then forget about it. An agnostic is somebody who doesn't believe in something until there is evidence for it, so I'm agnostic."

-Carl Sagan

[Antipopularization]

@Tyrroi "I am an atheist"

-Carl Sagan

[Tyrroi]

@Antipopularization Your an idiot.

[Antipopularization]

@Tyrroi You're*

"your" implies possession whereas "you're" is the abbreviated form of "you are".

[Tyrroi]

@Antipopularization Thats what i thought.

[phanchochan]

@w215philly he wasn't atheist he was agnostic.

[w215philly]

@phanchochan and Jesus wasn't Christian, he was Jewish

[phanchochan]

@w215philly Carl Sagan was born jewish but had agnostic beliefs and even said it.

ps obviously Jesus wasn't christian, how can he be of a religion that begun after his death and was named after him.

[BusinessIDBAI]

@w215philly

Yup, and when Carl Sagan died for my sins, he stayed dead.. Unfortunately... -.-

[JokerFan252]

@w215philly He was like the Agnostic Jesus, to be more precise. Because, he was an Agnostic, not an Atheist. Just saying. But I know what you mean, and I do miss him too!

[Antipopularization]

@JokerFan252 You can be both.

[kaako86]

Carl inspires and always puts a smile on my face.

[Wowncsnwc3player]

top 20?

[aMichaelBalliffilm]

Awesome. Can't wait for Carl Sagan Day tomorrow. What a great opportunity to spread the message of Carl's legacy.

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

@aMichaelBalliffilm It's on the 12th m'deer

[JackeShanTwo]

@aMichaelBalliffilm I think Carl Sagan Day is on the 12th, although he was born on the 9th. Last year was the 6th.

[rafa051iip]
