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.

"ولكنه عاد يتذكر أن الاستذكار للامتحان النهائي كان له تأثير معوق عليه بحيث إنه يجد أن "التفكير في أي معضلة علمية شيء كريه لمدة عام كامل، ... وإنه ليكاد يكون من المعجزات أن الطرق الحديثة للتعليم لم تخنق الفضول المقدس للمعرفة والبحث، لأن ذلك النبت الصغير الرقيق يحتاج أكثر ما يحتاج، إضافة إلى التشجيع المبدئي، إلى الحرية، فبدونها سوف يُدمر. ... وإني أؤمن بأن بوسع المرء أن يقضي على نهم حيوان مفترس في صحة جيدة إن هو أجبره بالسياط على أن يأكل بصورة مستمرة سواء كان جائعًا أم لا

Si queremos que el mundo escape de las temibles consecuencias del crecimiento de la población global y de los diez mil o doce mil millones de personas en el planeta a finales del siglo XXI, debemos inventar medios seguros y más eficientes de cultivar alimentos, con el consiguiente abastecimiento de semillas, riego, fertilizantes, pesticidas, sistemas de transporte y refrigeración. También se necesitarán métodos contraconceptivos ampliamente disponibles y aceptables, pasos significativos hacia la igualdad política de las mujeres y mejoras en las condiciones de vida de los más pobres.

If scientists can be fooled on the question of the simple interpretation of straightforward data of the sort that they are routinely obtaining from other kinds of astronomical objects, when the stakes are high, when the emotional predispositions are working, what must be the situation where the evidence is much weaker, where the will to believe is much greater, where the skeptical scientific tradition has hardly made a toehold - namely, in the area of religion?
