When I say I’m an agnostic, I only mean that the evidence isn’t in. There isn’t compelling evidence that God exists — at least your kind of god — and there isn’t compelling evidence that he doesn’t.

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.

«هل توجد ديانة لها ما للعلم من دقة في التنبؤ وإمكانية التعويل عليها؟ لا يوجد دين واحد على هذا الكوكب لا يتوق إلى مقدرة يمكن أن تقارن بمقدرة العلم على التنبؤ بأحداث المستقبل، تلك المقدرة الدقيقة التي تتجللى مرارًا وتكرارًا أمام أنصار مذهب الشك. ولا توجد أي مؤسسة بشرية تقترب من هذا الذي يحققه العلم»

Compared to a star, we are like mayflies, fleeting ephemeral creatures who live out their whole lives in the course of a single day. From the point of view of a mayfly, human beings are stolid, boring, almost entirely immovable, offering hardly a hint that they ever do anything. From the point of view of a star, a human being is a tiny flash, one of billions of brief lives flickering tenuously on the surface of a strangely cold, anomalously solid, exotically remote sphere of silicate and iron.
