    saw this documentary as a kid. ended up, as a result, with a lifelong interest in astronomy and science in general. Now MY kid has started to watch this series.

    Thank you Carl , you did wonders for humanity, more than you can even begin to imagine. RIP.

    I can't wait to show this series, and hopefully the NDT remake, to my daughter when she's old enough.

    It's so good that your kid has started to watch this series. I wish I had seen it at a younger age and grasped how profound the series is in telling the story of humanity. I am still grateful to see it in now in my 20s.

    Si pero hay un límite hasta el que pueden llegar los creyentes, algunos de ellos dejan de investigar cuando sus creencias se ven afectadas, otros, como einstein, se vuelven retrasados con sus pendejadas y dejan de aceptar hechos científicos, como la incertidumbre... hay muchos casos deplorables de ese tipo, afortunadamente hay gente que deja la religión gracias a la ciencia también.

    Todo depende del CI de cada persona, mientras más bajo, más religioso. :)

    Pero creo que una persona puede hacer la ciencia, independientemente de su fe. Mientras que puede mantenerlos separados, entonces todo está bien.

    Yeah, you're completely right in the first part, but to assume that we were made by some kind of omnipotent being is disregarding curiosity and skepticism itself... then why bother studying anything?... It's stupid. I always get angry at my teachers in the university when they introduce or even mention god in class... Even if it existed, it's completely irrelevant.

    Además, si hablas español (supongo por tu nombre) por qué hablamos en inglés? lol :)

    The comment I posted was actually in response to something else - either it's been deleted or I clicked the wrong "reply to" button. I was responding to a remark along the lines of "X smart person in history was christian, therefore god exists". I have no problem with people believing in God (I do however, have a problem with people trying to force those "truths" on others). Besides, debate is an oportunity to learn from others if you're willing to do so - I stand by my original post.

    The man was simply stating that he saw it as a Christian and still is, I do not see the purpose to instigate a debate on the Internet with a stranger.

    To be a scientist all you have to do is foster a curiosity of the world along with rigid skepticism. We all are susceptible to delusions, but to say that science is only exclusive to one group is complete nonsense and ignores the achievements heralded by believers and nonbelievers alike.

    0:42-1:15 has to be the wisest thing I've ever heard said by any human being. The clarity, foresight and compassion he exhibited were unmatched then, and even now.

    Indeed. But he wasn't.
