The method of science is tried and true. It is not perfect, it's just the best we have. And to abandon it, with its skeptical protocols, is the pathway to a dark age.

About Carl Sagan

Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator. His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the hypothesis, accepted since, that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to, and calculated using, the greenhouse effect. He testified to the US Congress in 1985 that the greenhouse effect will change the earth's climate system.

Additional quotes by Carl Sagan

She began to understand why lovers talk baby talk to one another. There was no other socially acceptable circumstance in which the children inside her were permitted to come out. If the one-year-old, the five-year- old, the twelve-year-old, and the twenty-year-old all find compatible personalities in the beloved, there is a real chance to keep all of these sub-personas happy. Love ends their long loneliness. Perhaps the depth of love can be calibrated by the number of different selves that are actively involved in a given relationship.

A ciência não é só compatível com a espiritualidade; é uma profunda fonte de espiritualidade. Quando reconhecemos nosso lugar na imensidão de anos-luz e no transcorrer das eras, quando compreendemos a complexidade, a beleza e a sutileza da vida, então o sentimento sublime, misto de júbilo e humildade, é certamente espiritual. Como também são espirituais as nossas emoções diante da grande arte, música ou literatura, ou de atos de coragem altruísta exemplar como os de Mahatma Gandhi ou Martin Luther King. A noção de que a ciência e a espiritualidade são de alguma maneira mutuamente exclusivas presta um desserviço a ambas.
