The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken in 1990 by Voyager 1 from a record distance [6.1 billion kilometers], showing it against the vastness of space.
By request of Carl Sagan, NASA commanded the Voyager 1 spacecraft, having completed its primary mission and now leaving the Solar System, to turn its camera around and to take a photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space.
From Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space:
Ann Druyan suggests an experiment: Look back again at the pale blue dot of the preceding chapter. Take a good long look at it. Stare at the dot for any length of time and then try to convince yourself that God created the whole Universe for one of the 10 million or so species of life that inhabit that speck of dust.
Now take it a step further: Imagine that everything was made just for a single shade of that species, or gender, or ethnic or religious subdivision.
If this doesn’t strike you as unlikely, pick another dot. Imagine it to be inhabited by a different form of intelligent life. They, too, cherish the notion of a God who has created everything for their benefit.
How seriously do you take their claim?

Acel Dumnezeu-Divinitate la care te referi a si precizat ca nimeni sa nu ii dea chip. Cum sa dai un chip sau altul (chiar cu buna intentie) Vietii sau Iubirii insasi ?
Aaaaa..... unde se gaseste manualul bunului crestin ? Eu nu am auzit de asa ceva :)
@Darael
Eu am vazut manualul bunului crestin. Contine o singura "rugaciune" catre Yehova care suna asa:
"Doamne, Dumnezeule Mare, daca tu ai orchestrat Pacatul Originar esti un mare dobitoc!"
Din pacate, daca citesti manualul bunului crestin incetezi sa fii crestin. Ramai doar bun. :)
@ Darael: Manualul bunului crestin se numeste Biblia, Cartea Cartilor dupa cum o considera toti oamenii de buna credinta de pe acest pamint, cu exceptia bineinteles a unei minoritati de 70% din omenire, adica a budistilor, brahmanilor, hindusilor, musulmanilor, zoroastrilor, animistilor, credinciosilor in Marele Orf cu chip de crocodil si, ultimii cu voia Dvs pe lista, ateilor, mama lor de spurcati care zaticnesc buna asezare a acestei lumi plina de dreptate, bunatate si dogma bine asezata.
:) :wink:
@ Logosfera: lol. you've just made my day. O sa arzi in iad si te va durea, pacatosule. Si eu voi fi linga tine in cazan sa ma rid. Ca deja sint invatat cu durerea, la cite injuraturi mi-am luat inca din viata asta :) :wink:
" They, too, cherish the notion of a God who has created everything for their benefit.
How seriously do you take their claim?": Foarte in serios. Sigur, daca respectivii ar fi sustinut "...ONLY for their benefit." m-as fi ras asa cum rad (cu lacrimi amare) in fata celor care taie gatzi si detoneaza bombe pentru cuvantul ala "ONLY".
