Carl Sagan on the Existence of God

My question is due to all these degradations: What is your personal religion or what is it? Is there any type of God you like? Is there any purpose given that we are sitting at this point in the middle of this sea of ​​stars? No, i do not do it. I don't want any questions and I'm not going to dodge this one even though I have highly religious characters who are close friends of mine in this room, but let me ask you what you mean when you use the word God, well. Guess what my question is? Is there a purpose?

I mean, given all of these two moves, why don't we just blow ourselves up? Why not? Yeah, what is what is our purpose? I mean, if we do, we turn the question around. blow ourselves up, does that refute the

existence

of God? No, I guess not. I mean, it will be a little late to make the discovery, but still, yeah. I guess what I'm asking is that, like us, we make God almost. go on this while he was throwing out these degradations and I and I don't mean him because who knows what God is, but he still does it right, disgusting, no, yeah, yeah, it's hard.

I like it to be a yes, don. "No, yes, we have been trained to think of it as a he. It seems that over the centuries we humans have created a mythological framework that has always involved some type of higher spiritual power and like every human being." cultures as that disappears as we know more and more about it and it seems more and more difficult to prove that something like that can exist, where does that leave us alone, which in my opinion is much more responsible than waiting for someone to save us from ourselves so we don't have to do our best to do it ourselves and if we mess up and there's someone to step in and save us, okay, I'm all for that, but we, you know, hedge our bets, it's the deal.

Pascal. run back, I'll say another word, the word God covers a huge range of different ideas and you recognize that in the question that comes from a huge man, with light skin and a long white beard, sitting on a throne in heaven and counting the fall of Every sparrow for which there is no evidence is on my mind, if anyone has one, I sure would like to see it as the kind of God that Einstein or Spinoza talked about, who is very close to the sum total of the laws of the universe . It would be crazy to deny that there are laws in the universe and if that's what you want to call God, then of course God exists and there are all kinds of other nuances.

There is, for example, the deistic god that many of the founding fathers of this universe country believe in, although it is a secret whose name cannot be pronounced in some circles a Hawaiian renders a king who does nothing the god who creates the universe and then he withdraws and to whom to pray is something useless he is not here he went somewhere else He had other things to do now, that is also a God, so when you say: Do you believe in God? If I say yes or if I say no, you have learned absolutely nothing.

I guess I'm asking you to define yours, if you have one, but why? Would we use such an ambiguous word that means so many different things? It gives you the freedom to appear to agree with someone you disagree with. Cover the differences. It contributes to social lubrication, but does not help the truth. In my opinion, I think we need much clearer language when we ask these questions. Sorry for taking so long to respond, but this is an important question.
