Agnostic referes to knowledge. Atheism refers to a belief (well, a lack there of at least). Carl Sagan was an agnostic atheist. Meaning he doesn't claim to know if there's a god or not, but he doesn't accept the claim that there is one.

This is simply great. He admitted that he doesn't know. NOBODY can fully KNOW. And that is a humbleness we ALL need to keep in mind, religious and non-religious people alike.

Notice most religious people don't say that.

As a middle school teacher, Carl Sagan has always been one of my most cherished models for how a teacher can spread enlightenment in graceful ways. He doesn't take things personally and he validates people's feelings while challenging flawed assumptions in incredibly polite ways. I'll always aspire to learn his educational style a little better, but this man was among the most inimitable communicators I've ever seen.

This guy is true inspiration for our and future generations.

Most parents would rush into a burning building to save their kid or their dog (I saw this in a video) but why an omnipotent being won't intervene to ease or stop a tectonic slide to save his creation or at least those who believe? Ooops, my bad, I forgot that thing with Noah.

He was very insightful in many ways however the clip of the above interview highlights an unfounded assumption he was still clinging to. The assumption was based on the steady state eternal universe idea that was prevalent among scientists in the early part of the 20th century. There was already strong evidence in Sagans day of a beginning to the universe in the finite past, ruling out a past infinite universe. That evidence has become multi-pronged and more established by testing and observation since. The Big Bang Theory, pointing to the beginning of our universe, has strong theistic implications acknowledged by many scientists (atheists,agnostics and believers alike). So Sagans famous quote :”The universe is all there is, all there was and all there’ll ever be.” can’t be really taken seriously in light of the strongly established evidence. There are other things Sagan said that overtime have been shown to be not as sure as he felt they were. I wonder if he was still here, in light of much scientific evidence that has come to the fore since he passed, if he would still hold the same opinions 🤔

If the universe cannot exist without creator, then how can the creator exist without having one. The whole concept of a creator is like a dog chasing its tail.

He is so articulate. He has also thought of this a lot.

Some scientist have opinions about a designer that's not evidence.

How did the brilliant Sagan keep a straight face answering such naive questions about religion...

When a theist says their god is infinite and doesn't require a creator I just bring up the fact the cosmos being eternal and not needing a creator either. It gets us no where but at least I get to turn their dumb answer back around on them. 😂

Then who made the thing that made God? On and on it goes in a continued repetition of who made who. But God is the uncaused cause. From eternity to eternity. That’s what Christians believe. do you need to have an explanation of an explanation for it to be considered valid? If we suddenly discovered machines on the dark side of the moon where no human had ever been, then we might conclude that Alien life had been there. We would not know who they are or where they are from, but it would be a good explanation of the machinery. Similarly a God like entity who is timeless, intelligent, powerful and personable, could create a universe that has the appearance of design. IMHO
