My own musical tribute to two great men of science. Carl Sagan and his cosmologist companion Stephen Hawking present: A Glorious Dawn - Cosmos remixed. Almost all samples and footage taken from Carl Sagan's Cosmos and Stephen Hawking's Universe series.
RIP Dr. Sagan, you will be missed!!
This song is now out on 7" vinyl through Jack White and friends at Third Man Records! Check it out here:
[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 ---------------------------------------

The issue is not to do with anyone's choice of religion but their motivations for choosing. Whether choosing atheism, agnosticism or theism, it makes no difference if one is living in denial to minimize one's exposure to fear and shame. That decision doesn't matter because a fear-based atheist, agnostic and theist all just want the same thing: to escape their fears.
Once you're free of whatever issues caused you to see the world improperly, it doesn't matter what group you choose.
opinions: to each, their own. argue not of points when there is none. belief, fact, understanding, a mystery, the unknown... There are so many facets of life, and some thought patterns/belief structures work better to frame the ideas of particular minds. We are all too unique for any one idea to appeal to us as a whole.
You missed the point of religion. Belief isnt something you wear and then throw away like a sock, if you dont have the faith, you dont believe you arent religious at all.
can we please not argue about religon you belive in god or you dont i am strong ly convinced there is a gad HOWEVER i KNOW that many people do not belive in god or simple want to see proof before the say the ar convinced but let all just get along. everyon has an opinion and is entitled to it. but lets not get hostile
Ah I see. So athiesm is couragous in not believing? Maybe you are the coward in being unable to admit this question is beyond your ability. You are no different than the religious believers as your belief is not believing. I don't need to entertain all the possiblities, especially the fantasy you brought forth. If you want to entertain fairies are real be my guest, bring proof. They are not relevant. Until they bring proof I can ignore it. If you want to hate an idea be my guest.
For me it has nothing to do with not running with a herd. For me it is simply to explore all possibilities of the earths start and finish. I have explored several religions and none of them have provided an adequate and intelligent explanation.

the problem is from time to time some relgious fanatics bother to post insults here...and the arguing starts again. They are so full of hatred.
