... brain and extract its memories?" - a well-worn science fiction theme. "We are the first species to take evolution into our own hands" - surely almost a cliche by now? There is welcome news for theists though, in Gardner's words, "Sagan does not deny the existence of a creator god." How haughtily he cocks his nose To tell what every schoolboy knows - SWIFT There is one speculation, however, which should be in every connoisseur's collection. I name it Sagan's Theory (on the grounds that Sagan refers to every minor speculation in Worlds in Collision as Velikovsky's Theory). Sagan proposes that the deciding factor influencing an astronomer's adoption of a cosmological ...

30. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... will discover fundamental new insights. My personal opinion is that Carl Sagan is a psychologically disturbed person, not with a big ego, but with a denial system as large as the numbers he uses.
