"İnsanoğlu Tanrı hakkındaki düşüncelerinin gerçekçi bir muhasebesini yapacak olursa, tanık olduğu olayların bilinmeyen, gizli kalan nedenlerini dile … - Carl Sagan

"İnsanoğlu Tanrı hakkındaki düşüncelerinin gerçekçi bir muhasebesini yapacak olursa, tanık olduğu olayların bilinmeyen, gizli kalan nedenlerini dile getirmek için çoğu zaman "tanrı" sözcüğünü kullandığını itiraf etmek zorunda kalır. Bu sözcüğü, nedenlerin kaynağını bulamadığı, doğal olanın kaynağı anlaşılır olmaktan çıktığı zaman kullanmaktadır. Ya da nedenleri birbirine bağlayan zincirin halkalarını kaybettiği anda, sonucu Tanrı'ya bağlayarak sorunu çözer ve araştırmasına son verir. Bu yüzden, bir şeyin oluşunu tanrılara bağladığında, aslında zihnindeki karanlığın yerini, hayret duygusuyla önünde eğildiği alışılmış bir sese terk etmekten başka bir şey mi yapıyor?"

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

Since much of the ocean floor remains unexplored (except perhaps for still-classified data acquired by the U.S. and Soviet navies), we may know more about the surface topography of Venus than about any other planet, Earth included.

They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.
