Excerpts from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space and Cosmos. More specifically, from the chapter titled You Are Here. I edited together the audio from the audiobook, and added the video from:

- Apocalypse: The Second World War
- BBC's Planet Earth
- BBC's The Root of All Evil with Richard Dawkins
- BBC's Walking with Cavemen
- BBC's Wonders of the Solar System with Brian Cox
- Carl Sagan's Cosmos
- Discovery's Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking

The music is "The Science of Faith", "La Fleur" and "For Love of the Dame" by Michael Giacchino from the Lost soundtrack.

Carl has essentially become the bell to my Pavlov's Dog.

When I hear him speak my eyes just start to salivate.

Everything you say has no basis for logic. Matter can't be destroyed by any means? Relating that to the chances of our existence? Atheist scientist? As if there aren't religious scientists, idiot.

As for our existence, read a quote from Carl Sagan's book, Cosmos: “When Kepler found his long-cherished belief (his belief in god) did not agree with the most precise observation, he accepted the uncomfortable fact. He preferred the hard truth to his dearest illusions; that is the heart of science.”

I said dont take it TOO seriously. I didnt flat out say "Hey dont take what i said seriously"
