The Pale Blue Dot.
In the absence of God, I found Man.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?
Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?
Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

Re: The Pale Blue Dot.
I found this to be a profound statement.
In the absence of God, I found Man.

Re: The Pale Blue Dot.
I really admire the late Carl Sagan's ideas and philosophies. While a he was rational thinker, he masterfully expressed the wonder and profundity of science and the natural world. In addition to a scientist he was a philosopher who explored humankind's place in an astounding universe.
I think that I have read every book that was aimed at the non scientist that he ever wrote. One of his books is actually called "Pale Blue Dot." If I recall it is a series of essays, one of which expands on the theme of this film.
