Lyrics:

[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time

The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature

I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky

But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has its own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world

[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit

From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas

[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worlds

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting

    Really? Make sure you don't condemn ideologies like nazism then. Everything should not be respected.

    Unless those beliefs are harmful, ridiculous or contrary to the truth. It is wrong to condemn people for their beliefs. Beliefs should always be questioned and challenged, else our collective understanding stagnates.

    Did I say say "Never challenge belief?"

    No

    Don't put words in my mouth. I'll amend my statement: Condemning other people's beliefs without cause is wrong. Anyone can believe anything they like, it's called free will and it is humanities greatest trait. When people believe evil things, no one is hurt. When they commit evil acts then condemn them. Christianity is not evil, and I won't watch people mock it and attack it for no reason.

    Not if they are demonstrably ridiculous.

    Sorry, if you don't like your beliefs mocked and condemned, do something to prove them. We've been waiting for 50000 years for someone to prove one of these wild claims. Be that guy, you'll be in the history books for the rest of our civilization's existence.

    Seriously, "Belief" is not sacred and untouchable, it is an idea, and ideas can, and should, be challenged. How else can you sort out truth from fiction?

    Carl was right. We have to understand the cosmos if the species is to survive. We've got a few billion years but, sometime the sun is going to expand really large and destroy the earth. We have to make a plan to send thousands of people, plants and animals to a new star.

    It took a few hundred million years for life to evolve into an intelligent creature. If we die off, the chances of this happening again could be low. Plan the spaceship now.
