Carl Sagan Quotes

Ann Druyan Suggests An Experiment: Look Back Again At The Pale Blue Dot Of The Preceding Chapter. Take A Good Long Look At It. Stare At The Dot For Any Length Of Time And Then Try To Convince Yourself That God Created The Whole Universe For One Of The 10 Million Or So Species Of Life That Inhabit That Speck Of Dust. Now Take It A Step Further: Imagine That Everything Was Made Just For A Single Shade Of That Species, Or Gender, Or Ethnic Or Religious Subdivision. If This Doesn't Strike You As Unlikely, Pick Another Dot. Imagine It To Be Inhabited By A Different Form Of Intelligent Life. They, Too, Cherish The Notion Of A God Who Has Created Everything For Their Benefit. How Seriously Do You Take Their Claim?
