Pale Blue Dot: YouTube's Atheists Remember Carl Sagan

Today marks the birthday of one of my personal heroes and one of the most thought provoking people of the 20th century. Carl Sagan was arguably one of the greatest humanists of recent history and he was taken from us much too early.

This is for you Carl

I am sure that you have a heap of other atheists that sub you or are your friends. You know, the ones that have very few subscribers but are just as passionate as the bigger atheists on YT.

With that in mind I think that this video would have a lot more impact if this video had most of those people instead of just the elite.

Why, because Carl Sagan was not just for the "elite" but for everyone.

[lefayad1991]

@krissyeh most of the people in this video have fewer subs than i do. Fearblandness has ~1000, AngryWomble, CollinMaessen, SoundOfScilence, and pointmanzero each have fewer than 1000 subs, so i wouldn't say that I only chose "elite" youtubers. Out of the people in here, i frankly don't know anyone smaller on a personal level. I chose people who were friends of mine, I think the only ones u could truly call "elite" are dpr and TheLivingDinosaur, besides that we r a fairly modest and humble group

Is his birthday Nov 7th or Nov 9th?

[lefayad1991]

@dec0y8 9th.... just chose to release it a little early

[skippydeenice]

humanity needs more men like Carl Sagan

[lefayad1991]

@skippydeenice you can say that again

[deeppurple28]

Carl Sagan has inspired me to study Astrophysics!

@krissyeh I was walking along Venice Beach with a visiting friend who is very wealthy the other day. He has done nothing but lift others up in life by getting those who had an attitude of contributing to society to make a better quality of life, spiritually, financially, and healthy wise. I have to say that viewing the locals at Venice, they all had retarded faces with oblivious eyes who looked at us to see what they could get rather than what they could give. Elite is an illusion.

Makes me want to watch Cosmos. Thank you Mr Sagan.

[ShouldersofGiants100]

We desperately need a new Carl Sagan, we need that individual who can help the otherwise ignorant see through the Demon Haunted World and see the wonders of the Cosmos, help them realize that superstition is not the answer. We on this pale blue dot need another man to take on this challenge, for the good of all mankind.

[naybobdenod]

The only conceivable way to make this Blue Dot we dwell upon a better place, is for our species to be here no more.

Sad but true :(

PS

The Earth does`nt need saving,its big enough to look after itself.

[MsScienceFTW]

@csbair Definitely, csbair did.

[rriverstone1]

@lefayad1991 TheLivingDinosaur isn't elite; he's just kick you in the gonads brilliant and a hell of a lot of fun.

[JRChadwick]

Good job. And thanks for not using my video. :)
