Carl Edward Sagan, Ph.D. (1934-1996) was an American astronomer, astrochemist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage", which has been seen by more than 600 million people in over 60 countries, making it the most widely watched PBS program in history.

A book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel "Contact", the basis for the 1997 Robert Zemecki's film of the same name starring Jodie Foster.

During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method.

  • @theaccousticaddict As an public service, a list of some "missing link" (transitional) fossils for your perusal. (source: NatGeo Daily News -- search it) (1) Tiktaalik: The "Fishapod", (2) Archaeopteryx: The First Bird, (3) Amphistium: The Halfway Flatfish, (4) Ambulocetus: The Walking Whale, (5) Homo Ergaster: The "Turkana Boy" Species, (6) Hyracotherium/Eohippus: The Dawn Horse, (7) Thrinaxodon: The Emerging Mammal. Now claim again there's no evidence for evolution.
  • @theaccousticaddict "Biology textbooks support the claim that all living things evolved and it is even taught in schools. so what?? that does not mean its the truth."

    Read and compare:

    "Religious books (ie. the Bible) support the claim that all living things were created and it is even taught in schools (unfortunately). So what?? that does not mean its the truth."

    Facts are gotten from the observation of the matter in question; yes. And then those findings are written down. In a textbook.

  • @theaccousticaddict

    And that, in a nutshell, is why religion is a blight on mankind.

  • @Caedyron Because the bible is the word of God and the biology books are words of carnal men which is mostly hypothetical and of a presumptious nature, you cannot compare biology textbooks with the word of God. Its like comparing a bycicle to a bulldozer.
