An Amazing experience

An amazing experience

Today, I finished Carl Sagan’s book The demon-haunted world and consequently, the word which comes to my mind is saudade, truly I am going to miss his book and all the truth it brought into my life.

During the reading I got myself wondering, how would react other people from different profession all around the world while reading his texts? He was an astronomer, but like me, he was a teacher too. Thus, I read his book with teacher’s eyes and as a teacher I felt very glad when I saw how human a man could be even though, he is clearly an atheist. His love for humanity was one of the most beautiful and courageous attitude I have seen in years. I am fond of his love for people and his genuine faith in science as a tool, better say, a way to liberty, to comprehension, to life itself.

He spreads the necessity of searching, studying, learning and doubting. He asks in his book for skepticism. He defends the critical and skeptical search on behalf of science but beyond this, on behalf of humanity. His text is so inclusive, so abundant that I cannot find space here to run about all I learnt. He defends the rights of people over ethnical origins, sexual orientation or religious orientation, in his text you can find a critical analyzes about the danger of being so skeptical and think of being in the right position because your life is based on the proves you can see by scientific experiments.  He points the necessity of having an open mind, but still considering people believes as humans and individuals. He accuses the media of being a tool of stereotypes which is bad used and tendentious.  

 He makes a serious discussion on religions and UFOs, he runs over the problems of being so credulous. He relates religion and UFOs, and how humanity is misplacing their mysticism into another beliefs. Carl Sagan was worried about the future and the scientific analphabetism of the USA, but if one takes a better look on it, it is possible to see that this problem is found all around the globe. The scholar methods are boring, and they don’t dig slightly the surface of real science. Actually, the public system does not supply or fund students’ needs or teachers’ lessons plans. It is a reality and a sad true that his book in 2018 is still so current.

  

I am amazed of doing this so rich and enterteining reading. Thanks, Carl Sagan for this beautiful sample of humanity.  

Lines

Then and again you tore my heart apart.
You break me into pieces
You let me on the ground
How do we call it love?
I thought love was a noble feeling
Not that bleeding sensation you bring to me
Now and then you break your promises
You break my soul
You let me alone
You let me down

What I've done was loving you
Caring you
Putting you above my dreams
Above my own
Above all

Surely you've never known
You've never felt
You've never measured my ache
My wounds...
That careless love I die for
It is the reason to keep me alive
To keep me going
I don't know myself
I have no will
I am yours and I am broken
The air to breathe comes from your mouth
The heart beatings bump in your chest

Who I am? I'd rather ask you...

Some Thoughts and Questions about the Origin

Through the past few days I’ve been reading a book. The book runs about the polemic idea of the possibility of science proves the nonexistence of God. Even though scientists live their lives among other things trying to prove it, I’ve got some questions unsolved about the impact it would cause in the society. 

I agree in some part with Darwin’s theory, for me makes sense that humans had an evolution through the ages and that they had an origin different of the idea of Garden of Eden. In point of view it does not matter in fact the way we came from to earth. If it was across the holy scriptures or across Darwin’s evolution theory. What really matters is: even if there is no Eden at all or Darwin’s theory to prove our origin, the existence of God is something we cannot change or deny.

My main question is, what gives movement to our body? And I am not talking about the body’s function. I am talking about the soul, what animates our bodies? Where did our soul come from? And what does this mean? Is it not too complex to deny? For me the existence of God remains in the idea of our own existence. The fact that we are alive and breathing. Despite that any theory or scriptures, God existence is inside every human and thing alive on this earth.
Nevertheless, the impact of proving the nonexistence of God in the society could be intolerable. If we think of those amoral people around the world. Those pedophiles, sociopaths and soon. People to whom the rules of society there is no value. What would they do if there are not any hell, or heaven to go, any sin to be absorbed or punished?

If we start to the point that most of them feel somehow paralyzed due to their religious beliefs the nonexistence of God could be a dangerous freedom to them and the chaos we live today could gain enormous consequences to our sick worldwide minds. It’s impossible to cover the evil inside human nature. The disbelief of God and the inconsequence of no further punishment after life could give them the freedom they intent to have to commit all the barbarism they would think.
