      Carl was a joke.
      Carl Sagan "The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be."
      Carl Sagan, "I can’t imagine anyone denying the existence of the laws of nature, but I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky."
      More from the dingbat Carl, --It’s perfectly possible that the universe is infinitely old and therefore uncaused. In fact, there are detailed cosmological models that hold such a view and that are consistent with everything we know. To my mind, it seems not fully satisfactory to say that there was a first cause. That seems to postpone dealing with the problem rather than solving it. If we say “God” made the universe, then surely the next question is, “Who made God?” If we say “God” was always here, why not say the universe was always here? If we say that the question “Where did God come from?” is too tough for us poor mortals to understand, then why not say that the question of, “Where did the universe come from?” is too tough for us mortals? In what way, exactly, does the God hypothesis advance our knowledge of cosmology? What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?--

      Read the article. Have a vomit bag or trash can nearby for what a hypocritical, lying, mocking, disgusting, person he was.
      Now, Carl the F00L cannot get around these laws and what they lead to...
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
      ....yet the buffoon thinks creation happened naturally, but the idiot says, "What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?" as the crap-for-brains ignores the CLEAR science that creation had to happen by God supernaturally! Still, the fool who ignores the laws farted out, "I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky." Notice his mocking God, "man in the sky" as if that makes him look smart as he completely ignores the evidence.
      His question, "Who made God?" is as pathetic as he is.
      So in his way of useless thinking, if a supernatural creator created the natural realm, then that supernatural creator who created the natural realm with its natural laws has then become also bound by those natural laws the supernatural creator created. So explain why a supernatural creator is also bound by the laws the supernatural creator created. Or, show how smart you are and just give your science for creation happening naturally, and don't forget to give your science how the natural laws were created, too. If he wanted to act smart, it may be a good idea to actually show you are.
      Sagan the imbecile will at some point face his Maker for his judgment of what he believed in this life. His extreme shame and regret was all his choice. He wanted to be a hypocritical bozo. Then he'll be thrown into the lake of fire. It will be his 'The End' and be remembered no more. ALL his choice and for others who follow that F00L.

    If viewers of this video are not from the UK and Ireland, they will not be familiar with host Terry Wogan, or the the style of this chat show. It was an early evening light entertainment show and that time slot dictated the style and content of this kind of interview. Wogan was an enormously popular radio host and TV presenter, with great charm and experience. However this format and time slot did not suit his style and his former Saturday night slot would have provided a longer and better interview with Sagan.

      Those records on the two Voyager probes, and the plaques on Pioneer 10 and 11 are travelling at a tiny fraction of the speed of light. They would take tens of thousands of years to approach any other star systems, and none will intercept them. We do not yet know whether any of those stars has orbiting planets, nor do we know whether any has biological life on it. Nor any intelligent life, capable of developing technology. Nor yet do we know whether any other technological civilisation is capable of launching spacecraft, which might one day encounter one of our own. Or communicate with us.

      Carl was clueless and so are you.
      Carl Sagan "The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be."
      Carl Sagan, "I can’t imagine anyone denying the existence of the laws of nature, but I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky."
      More from the dingbat Carl, --It’s perfectly possible that the universe is infinitely old and therefore uncaused. In fact, there are detailed cosmological models that hold such a view and that are consistent with everything we know. To my mind, it seems not fully satisfactory to say that there was a first cause. That seems to postpone dealing with the problem rather than solving it. If we say “God” made the universe, then surely the next question is, “Who made God?” If we say “God” was always here, why not say the universe was always here? If we say that the question “Where did God come from?” is too tough for us poor mortals to understand, then why not say that the question of, “Where did the universe come from?” is too tough for us mortals? In what way, exactly, does the God hypothesis advance our knowledge of cosmology? What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?--

      Read the article. Have a vomit bag or trash can nearby for what a hypocritical, lying, mocking, disgusting, person he was.
      Now, Carl the F00L cannot get around these laws and what they lead to...
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
      ....yet the buffoon thinks creation happened naturally, but the idiot says, "What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?" as the crap-for-brains ignores the CLEAR science that creation had to happen by God supernaturally! Still, the fool who ignores the laws farted out, "I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky." Notice his mocking God, "man in the sky" as if that makes him look smart as he completely ignores the evidence.
      His question, "Who made God?" is as pathetic as he is.
      So in his way of useless thinking, if a supernatural creator created the natural realm, then that supernatural creator who created the natural realm with its natural laws has then become also bound by those natural laws the supernatural creator created. So explain why a supernatural creator is also bound by the laws the supernatural creator created. Or, show how smart you are and just give your science for creation happening naturally, and don't forget to give your science how the natural laws were created, too. If he wanted to act smart, it may be a good idea to actually show you are.
      Sagan the imbecile will at some point face his Maker for his judgment of what he believed in this life. His extreme shame and regret was all his choice. He wanted to be a hypocritical bozo. Then he'll be thrown into the lake of fire. It will be his 'The End' and be remembered no more. ALL his choice and for others who follow that F00L.

      Given the fact, that Wogan was prone to entertain an audience at that venue, one might safely assume a certain script or schedule of interrogation to provide an outcome of Carl Sagan receiving topical lines for him to shine as the ironeous straight man besides the clown-wogan of mirth...

      @@2fast2block Copy and paste. Repetition of a bad argument does not make it more valid. And name-calling detracts from your own. As to be human is to be fallible and capable of error, I know that from the limit of what I know (within which I may suppose that I am correct) to the limit of what I seek discover (in which I know that I will not always be right) lies an area of uncertainty. If it is possible for the universe to come about by natural means without an 'old man in the sky', Supreme Being or any other belief system then it is possible that divine intervention was absent because it was not there. The universal applicability of natural laws demonstrates this, for an omnipotent being capable of setting them aside for their own purposes would soon become visible from the result of its actions.

If you think hydro dams and space rockets contribute to a communist regime was the Boulder Dam and NASA any different? The Nasa rockets were designed by Werner von Braun ex member of the Nazi party. No gun gun held to his head then. No just made an offer he could not refuse. Carl Sagan could see the shy. You can see your boots.

      AND NO, the US is not the only country in the world that uses non-metric units (the UK uses miles, for example), and it’s also a lie to say that the US never uses metric units since they are used quite often among scientists and in other specialties.
