I would have to rank "Billions & Billions" as one of favorite books I've ever read.

Indeed, I have a feeling that even had I chosen a different career path the influence from reading Sagan's work when I was young would keep astrobiology as a true passion all the same.

That's awesome man! Introduce him to as many people as possible. To this day I wish I had discovered him earlier in my life...I might be on a completely different career path if I had!

I gave a presentation on astrobiochemistry yesterday and I used a short clip from Cosmos!

Dr. Sagan was one of the first people who sparked an interest in astrobiology in me. Now, it's my chosen career path. He gave us such great works of knowledge.

Very nicely put, Gregory. The universe described in Genesis pales compared to the universe described by science. There's just no contest.
Very nicely put, Frink. If one reads The Ancestors Tale by Dawkins and then reads Shadow Of Our Ancestors by Sagan and Druyan, one can see where you're coming from.

Now that's something I wish I could see, Gregory.

If Michelangelo had talked to Carl Sagan, the Sistine Chapel would be covered not with religious scenes, but with Quasars, Nebulas, and Galaxies.

But yes, Carl Sagan is still one of the greats. I recommend Demon-Haunted World to anyone interested in science and skepticism, and Pale Blue Dot to everyone.

Let's not forget Michio Kaku, who has recently begun a new series on the Science Channel, Physics of the Impossible, named after his most excellent book.
