" "The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can't all be correct. And what if all of you are wrong? It's a possibility, you know. You must care about the truth, right? Well, the way to winnow through all the differing contentions is to be skeptical. I'm not any more skeptical about your religious beliefs than I am about every new scientific idea I hear about. But in my line of work, they're called hypotheses, not inspiration and not revelation.
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.

"Consider again that dot [Earth]. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
"Espírito" vem da palavra latina que significa "respirar", O que respiramos é o ar, que é certamente matéria, por mais fina que seja. Apesar do uso em contrário, não há na palavra "espiritual" nenhuma inferência necessária de que estamos falando de algo que não seja matéria (inclusive aquela de que é feito o cérebro), ou de algo que esteja fora do domínio da ciência. De vez em quando, sinto-me livre para empregar a palavra. 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.

El tamaño y la edad del Cosmos superan la comprensión normal del hombre. Nuestro diminuto hogar planetario está perdido en algún punto entre la inmensidad y la eternidad. En una perspectiva cósmica la mayoría de las preocupaciones humanas parecen insignificantes, incluso frívolas. Sin embargo nuestra especie es joven, curiosa y valiente, y promete mucho. En los últimos milenios hemos hecho los descubrimientos más asombrosos e inesperados sobre el Cosmos y el lugar que ocupamos en él; seguir el hilo de estas exploraciones es realmente estimulante. Nos recuerdan que los hombres han evolucionado para admirarse de las cosas, que comprender es una alegría, que el conocimiento es requisito esencial para la supervivencia. Creo que nuestro futuro depende del grado de comprensión que tengamos del Cosmos en el cual flotamos como una mota de polvo en el cielo de la mañana.
