Carl Sagan
Carl Sagan used to be considered as a "nice guy."[1] These days, he is a villain. Why were we lied to so much?
History
Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996) played a leading role in the American space program from its very beginning.[2] He was a consultant and adviser to NASA beginning in the 1950s. He briefed the Apollo astronauts before their flights to the Moon.[3]
Carl was often described as "the scientist who made the Universe clearer to the ordinary person."[4] He helped to popularize science[5] through the writing of hundreds of articles and over two dozen books. He won a Pulitzer Prize[6] in 1975 for his book "The Dragons of Eden." His television series "Cosmos" was one of the most watched shows in public television history. It was seen by more than 500 million people in 60 different countries.
Lies
- Sagan falsely claimed that the Bible says the Earth is flat.
- He falsely claimed that no Catholic saint ever opposed executing heretics. Two are on record, that did: St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Martin of Tours.
- He falsely claimed that in the Book of Genesis, God forbids Adam and Eve to have sexual intercourse with each other.
He said that Ronald Reagan falsely claimed to have helped liberate a Nazi concentration camp.
- Perhaps his biggest lie was his claim that we should generously fund SETI, because aliens from outer space may send us a message that will tell us how to avoid nuclear war.
