Lyrics:
[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe
Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time
The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars
A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way
The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature
I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky
But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions
The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has its own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world
[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit
From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas
[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worlds
The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we’ve waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting

“a still more glorious dawn awaits, not a sunrise, but a galaxyrise”…
That’s probably the most important message of that video! It helps us maintain that humble feeling that we are nothing but moats of dust if compared to the size of the entire cosmos

All hail the twothless wonder for he knows more than Carl Sagan.

I couldn’t agree more. There’s a place for religion and a place for science. It gets annoying that people have to ruin good things with their religious opinions and make themselves look like jackasses along with their god.
December 18th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
To be honest, I don’t really think there is even a place for religion. There is no correct answer than can be formulated by the human mind since none of us have the ability to have an awareness on any plane in which a non-corporeal being might exist and we have never, ever had an encounter with what could be called the divine. All humans should concentrate on are science and society.

@darkcrimson23
There are also those who try to use science to discredit religion in general knowing full well that their efforts if fruitful take food out of the mouths of people at soup kitchens.
December 18th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
@danomano65 I could not agree more. I also logged on just to rate this video
December 18th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
So you’re saying scrap science so hobos can have free soup?
My point is, take religion where it is welcome. I don’t walk into your church to scribe out my theories on how the world began. I respect your individuality and leave it at that.
Spare me the guilt trip.

AMAZING.

auto tune is only good if its funny..but this isn’t. it’s only camp.
December 18th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Don’t you think that those who espouse the virtues of science and try to find good in the world without God would try and help those less fortunate? Often people who turn away from religion do so because of the damages it has on humanity as a whole. In an ideal world, we would still have soup kitchens, just ones that don’t come attached to a bronze age piece of fiction. We would do it because it is right.

cool and strangely addictive!
December 18th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
At no point did I say anything remotely along the lines of “scrap science” and you know this.
What’s more your hate of hungry people is appalling.
And I wonder if you would walk into a church to scribe out your “theories” on how the world began if you could.
December 19th, 2009 at 12:02 am
Did you run out of reasoned logic? Oh, that’s right, you have to have actually had something to have run out of it….
Are you pissed because Carl was an agnostic atheist?
December 19th, 2009 at 12:17 am
Wow, ivlFounder. Your a closet fundamentalist, aren’t you?
You are an insult to Sagan’s legacy….
December 19th, 2009 at 1:56 am
Wow.
You did more damage to yourself with that last post that I could ever do.
December 19th, 2009 at 2:12 am
lol at people trying to argue like intellectuals on the internet.
December 19th, 2009 at 2:17 am
Which one, the one where I asked if you were a closet fundamentalist or where I asked if you were pissed that Sagan was an agnostic atheist.
You carelessly and seemingly piously implied that criticism of organized religion is like taking the food out of starving peoples mouths.
Sagan would have quickly corrected you on that.
Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astonishing universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy. [Carl Sagan]

lol at people who lol at people arguing like intellectuals on the internet.
Anybody can type words into a commenting window. Few actually utilize it to express thoughts beyond instant gratification.
thanks for playing…

I believe Sagan would think this was great–and it is!
Brilliantly created song and video, and a truly amazing tribute to a great man.
“If we do not destroy ourselves,we will one day venture to the stars”
I would say that Sagan would lose hope at seeing the horrors that happen today…but he wouldn’t. He would look at how far we’ve come, and say that we can *overcome* the problems, through science, reason, and through humanity itself.
We need more like him…
December 19th, 2009 at 3:39 am
He was an agnostic….?
December 19th, 2009 at 4:17 am
@calapanpo
yes.
