Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

 

 

A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. That is earth!!

What it does is makes our values pejorative.

All is relative because we are a spec of dust.

Well, that is an absurdity that takes away

our accountability factor. The Earth is "our center", our reality and the rest of the world

revolves around that for us (psychologically and ontologically speaking).

You have the strangest interpretations, Khayr. The Quran itself regularly invokes the scale of the universe and of Allah's creation (the lord of the worlds), yet when the same information is given to you by an American scientist, you react with moronic and archaic geocentric babble.

That was great. I quite like his Most Astounding Fact as well, which makes me feel less small compared to these others

 

 

We are stardust.

This is the same scientist that said:

 

 

Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astonishing universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy.

 

Sagan was not in awe nor humbled by the thought of رب العلامين (lord of all the worlds). Rather, he was

in awe of the pimple on his nose (that is as far as he could spiritually see). Meaning - his own opinionation and conclusions.
