Is it rude to refer to a romance novel “smut”? Not to me ;) You can call my books whatever you want! …BUT, there's a lot of nuance to this (and context matters) — so in this episode, we're exploring important questions we need to ask around the labels we use, our intentions behind our word choices, and the problems with gatekeeping in the romance novel community. Examples we discuss in this episode include: Smut, enemies to lovers trope, spice levels, smutty vs spicy vs sexy, and “fairy porn” in romantasy.Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Support the show

In their historic* first loss to the Utah Hockey Club (*for Utah, not Dallas), Ryan and Chris break down what happens when your penalty kill forgets to show up — and so does your defense. With Esa Lindell, Thomas Harley, and Jake Oettinger all resting up for the postseason, the Stars treated this game like the second preseason it truly was. We dive into Matt Dumba somehow being the best defenseman on the ice (yes, really), Brendan Smith scoring a feel-good goal, and Jamie Benn continuing his cursed pursuit of #400. Plus: thoughts on Liam Bischel's nerves, Petrovic's audition, and why the penalty kill was MIA. The Avalanche are locked in for Round 1. Landeskog is lurking. Sagan and Miro might return. Oh, and the flu is sweeping the locker room... great timing, boys. So if you're wondering whether the Stars are ready for the playoffs — well — join us as we try to find out.

Årets lyssnarjury som utser vinnaren av Sveriges Radios Romanpris består av Alma Martinsson, Jan Unga, Cristina von Schéele, Teodor Fridén och Benigna Polonyi.Böcker är en stor del av deras liv och ger möjlighet att både fly och förstå verkligheten.Någon läser ”Bonjour Tristesse” av Françoise Sagan varje sommar för att få bekräftelse att det är helt ok att enbart dricka kaffe och bada på semestern, en annan hade bara Bibeln och Læstadius ”Postilla” i bokhyllan hemma som barn, en tredje har fått upp ögonen för vardagsskimret tack vare Karl Ove Knausgård, en fjärde längtar hem från jobbet till sina läsfynd från Bokbörsen, en femte kom till Sverige från Ungern för trettio år sedan och första läsupplevelsen på svenska blev ”Kejsarn av Portugallien” av Selma Lagerlöf.Årets nominerade romaner, som lyssnarjuryn läst och diskuterar under Romanprisveckan, är "Helga" av Bengt Ohlsson, "Allätaren" av Martin Engberg", "Tänkarens testamente" av Jessica Schiefauer och "Den första boken" av Karolina Ramqvist.Reporter: Nina Asarnoj
Pep Martorell es director del Barcelona Supercomputing Center, hogar del MareNostrum 5. Sentimos una extraña mezcla de fascinación y temor por las nuevas tecnologías. La ciencia tiene un impacto en el mundo en el que vivimos y la computación del superordenador soluciona problemas que no podemos tan siquiera concebir. Escribió Eduardo Mendoza en su precioso discurso de aceptación del Premio Cervantes que “las vocaciones tempranas son árboles con muchas hojas, poco tronco y ninguna raíz”. Pep, que divulga también en su propio Substack, entró en el campo de la física fascinado por los documentales de Cosmos. Carl Sagan contagió y sigue contagiando a muchos jóvenes en busca de una vocación. Ese hombre, con su pasión por la ciencia, despertó la curiosidad de muchos y mi esperanza es que este podcast haga lo mismo.Quiero dar las gracias a la Cambra de Comerç de Barcelona por haber hecho posible este episodio. Me permitieron grabar en su fantástico ático de Diagonal y no habría podido encontrar un emplazamiento mejor para la charla con Pep. La propuesta de la Cambra es atractiva para todo tipo de perfiles relacionados con el mundo de la empresa y te animo a que explores los eventos que allí organizan. La Cambra quiere ser un punto de encuentro empresarial en la ciudad de Barcelona, facilitando conexiones inesperadas y creando oportunidades en la serendipia que se genera en esos círculos. Siempre la opcionalidad del amigo Taleb, los accidentes positivos de los que te hablo en Kapital.Así narra Stephen Fry el regalo del fuego por parte de Prometeo, en su fantástico libro Los mitos griegos revisitados: “Cuando les mostró a los hombres aquel demonio saltarín y célebre danzarín, de primeras chillaron atemorizados y recularon ante las llamas. Pero la curiosidad pronto superó al miedo y comenzaron a solazarse con aquel nuevo juguete mágico, aquella sustancia, fenómeno..., llamadlo como queráis. Supieron por Prometeo que el fuego no era su enemigo sino un poderoso aliado que, convenientemente domesticado, tenía diez mil millares de usos. Prometeo pasó de una aldea a otra enseñándoles técnicas para fabricar herramientas y armas, cocer cacerolas de arcilla, cocinar carne y hornear masas de cereales, lo que enseguida desencadenó una avalancha de ventajas que supuso la prevalencia del hombre sobre la presa animal, que no podía reaccionar a las lanzas y flechas de punta metálica. No tardó mucho Zeus en bajar la mirada desde el Olimpo y ver puntos de titilante luz naranja salpicando el paisaje a su alrededor. Al instante supo lo que había sucedido. Tampoco hizo falta que le dijesen quién era el responsable. Su ira fue arrebatada y terrible. Jamás se había presenciado una furia tan extrema, tan tumultuosa, tan apocalíptica. Ni siquiera Urano, en su mutilada agonía, había experimentado una rabia tan vengativa. Urano fue vencido por un hijo que le resultaba indiferente, pero Zeus había sido traicionado por el amigo al que más amaba. Ninguna traición podía ser más terrible.”Índice:1:21 Temor ancestral a lo desconocido.8:52 Labatut ve al científico como un poeta.19:10 Mirar en el abismo del conocimiento.27:06 Las bellísimas lecciones de Sagan.30:51 Faltan chicas en las carreras STEM.42:56 La tradición catalana de comprar tecnología en Andorra.51:35 Conferencia en Solvay en 1927.1:03:15 Los misterios del big bang.1:06:58 Hablar de Newton es como hablar de Messi.1:16:51 Un superordenador en una capilla.1:25:58 Ich probiere.1:35:06 AlphaGo.1:41:53 Nobel de Química para el plegado de proteínas.1:45:59 Kasparov contra Deep Blue.1:48:23 Destrucción mutua asegurada.1:59:39 El bosón de Higgs.2:06:31 Misterios por resolver.Apuntes:Cosmos.

L'émission du 21/03/2025 Ce vendredi, Renaud Dély décrypte l'actualité avec le regard de nos clubistes : Iannis Roder, professeur agrégé d'histoire dans un collège de Seine-Saint-Denis, Julie Graziani, essayiste, Catherine Tricot, directrice de la revue “Regards” et le dessinateur de presse, Eric Truant.“Non” au retour à la retraite à 62 ans : François Bayrou s'est-il auto-censuré ?Le Premier ministre François Bayrou a exprimé publiquement son opposition à un retour de l'âge légal de départ à la retraite à 62 ans, dimanche 16 mars. Cette prise de parole a mis en péril le dialogue entamé depuis trois semaines par les partenaires sociaux au sein du conclave pour rediscuter de la réforme des retraites de 2023 “sans tabou” ni “totem” "Les 62 ans, c'est la question centrale. En disant cela, non seulement le Premier ministre trahit sa parole, mais il trahit des millions de salariés qui se sont mobilisés pour l'abrogation de la réforme des retraites pendant six mois", a réagi Sophie Binet, la secrétaire générale de la CGT qui a annoncé quitter la table des négociations. François Bayrou avait promis aux socialistes de renégocier les conditions de la réforme des retraites pour éviter la censure de son gouvernement en janvier dernier. Cette déclaration du Premier ministre peut-il lui coûter son poste ? Israël-Hamas : à Gaza, qui a voulu la fin de la trêve ?Un peu moins de deux mois après l'entrée en vigueur de la trêve entre l'armée israélienne et le Hamas, Tsahal a repris mardi 18 mars des frappes massives dans la bande de Gaza. Selon la Défense civile palestinienne, le bilan actuel est de 504 morts parmi lesquels 190 mineurs. L'accord initial de la trêve prévoyait une phase 2 qui incluait un cessez-le-feu permanent et un retrait de l'armée israélienne de la bande de Gaza contre la libération de tous les otages restants. Benyamin Nétanyahou justifie la reprise des hostilités par “le refus répété” du Hamas de libérer les 58 otages encore retenus à Gaza dont l'armée israélienne suppose que 34 sont morts. Le Premier ministre israélien “considère que “la pression militaire” est indispensable pour obtenir la libération des otages. Cette démarche a déclenché une vague de manifestations en Israël et la colère des familles d'otages encore en captivité.Le journaliste Jean-Paul Vespini publie “Zola à Bicyclette, libre et dans le vent” (éditions Arthaud). Il y raconte l'engouement général pour la “vélocipédie” qui saisit l'auteur Émile Zola et ses contemporains issus des élites intellectuelles à la fin du 19e siècle, de Guy de Maupassant à Colette, en passant par le prince de Sagan ou Maurice Leblanc. La bicyclette a eu plusieurs conséquences sur la société comme le développement de l'industrie ou la libération des femmes par le port du pantalon.Le gouvernement souhaite inscrire à l'ordre du jour de l'Assemblée nationale l'étude d'une loi, déjà votée en février par le Sénat, prévoyant d'interdire le port du voile lors des compétitions sportives. Cette proposition est défendue par Bruno Retailleau qui estime qu'“un terrain de sport ne doit pas être un lieu d'entrisme religieux, d'entrisme politique”. La ministre des Sports Marie Barsacq a mis en garde contre les “confusions” et les “amalgames”, entre le port du voile et la radicalisation dans le sport. C'est le duel de la semaine de Valérie Brochard.Lors d'un congrès de militants de son parti Place publique, l'eurodéputé Raphaël Glucksmann, a appelé les États-Unis à rendre à la France la Statue de la liberté. Il juge que le pays n'est plus digne des valeurs du monument. Outre-Atlantique, la porte-parole de la Maison Blanche, Karoline Leavitt, a souhaité lui rappeler, lors d'une conférence de presse, que “si les Français ne parlent pas allemand aujourd'hui, c'est uniquement grâce aux États-Unis”. C'est le Point com de Paola Puerari.Le dessinateur Jul s'est indigné en apprenant que l'Éducation nationale allait annuler l'impression des 900 000 exemplaires de sa BD reprenant le conte “La Belle et la Bête”. Initialement destiné à tous les CM2, l'ouvrage ne serait finalement “pas adapté à l'approche éducative attendue” pour des élèves de 10 à 11 ans, selon la directrice générale de l'enseignement scolaire, Caroline Pascal. C'est l'histoire de la semaine de Claude Askolovitch.Enfin, ne manquez pas la Une internationale sur l'entretien téléphonique entre Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine; les photos de la semaine soigneusement sélectionnées par nos invités, ainsi que Dérive des continents de Benoît Forgeard !28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

The final part of our story of the Hills' strange encounter. We discuss the cheap hatchet job that Saint Carl Sagan did on the Hills' story, which came out quite tawdry in spite of Sagan's good intentions. Plus, we provide our suggestion for the best bet as to the real-life phenomenon that generated the Hills' legendary experience. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Some podcast apps may not display links from our show notes properly, so we have included a list of links at the end of this description. * As we approach the first season change of the year, we are finding ourselves inclined to revisit this conversation centered on time and ritual featuring author Sasha Sagan and CIIS Interdisciplinary Arts professor Carolyn Cooke. * Sasha Sagan was raised by secular parents, the astronomer Carl Sagan and the writer and producer Ann Druyan. They taught her that the natural world and vast cosmos are full of profound beauty, that science reveals truths more wondrous than any myth or fable. * When Sasha herself became a mother, she began her own hunt for the natural phenomena behind our most treasured occasions—from births to deaths, holidays to weddings, anniversaries, and more—growing these roots into a new set of rituals for her young daughter that honor the joy and significance of each experience without relying on religious frameworks. * Sasha's first book, For Small Creatures Such As We, is part memoir, part guidebook, and part social history—a luminous exploration of Earth's marvels that require no faith in order to be believed. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on October 10th, 2019.

I veckans avsnitt av ”Så in i Själen” möter ni Marianne Hallberg. Marianne är författare till boken ”Sagan om sanningen" med underrubriken "En sammanhängande värld." Det här blev snabbt en favoritbok för mig. En kärleksfull bok som sammanväver personlig utveckling med samhällets utveckling och vårt stora behov av mänsklig mognad. Boken innehåller så mycket information från så många områden men ändå hålls allt ihop med en röd tråd. Marianne lyckas förklara de mest komplicerade fakta på ett enkelt och begripligt sätt och har en stark optimistisk grundton, som känns så viktig i dessa dagar. Som läsare får man också tillgång till de principer och metoder som behövs för att på egen hand skapa ett bra liv.Boken kom ut 2009, 16 år sedan, men den lever vidare och uppskattats lika mycket av både män och kvinnor. Sagan om sanningen handlar om förändringar i våra livsvärderingar, om personlig utveckling och om den nya världsbild som växer fram. Marianne Hallberg har många utbildningar bakom sig, hon är bland annat; licensierad mental tränare och Mindfulness Practitioner, utbildad vid Skandinaviska Ledarhögskolan. Jag ser mycket fram emot det här mötet med Marianne Hallberg.

In this session we talk about the energetic structure known as the Clear Fountain which is helpful to develop for our intuitive process.The Clear Fountain is a term coined by Samual Sagan who started the Clairvision School. In his book Atlantean Secrets 5.7, Sagan describes the function and purpose of the Clear Fountain.The clear fountain. . . is an unlimited source of inspiration. It flows, always, and for all men and women, but few are those who know how to tap from its waters. And even among those who know how, few are those who remember to call on the fountain when critical situations arise. The more one listens to the fountain, the easier it becomes to follow its wisdom. But if a man is silly enough to disregard the wisdom of the clear fountain, then he becomes deaf to it. The fountain is still with him, but he hears it not, and so he wanders in darkness.To hear the clear fountain . . .you must listen above your head. The flow of the clear fountain comes down vertically, from high above your head. You must listen, but not for words! For in most cases, the clear fountain does not speak in words.Sometimes you may hear words, and sometimes the fountain may speak to you through images. But words can be misleading, and images are not always simple to interpret, so the best way of listening to the fountain is by knowing. You will tune into the vertical flow of the fountain above your head, making yourself open and receptive, and you will know what you have to do or say. But remember that it is only with a pure heart that one can hear the clear fountain. Those who listen to fountains without sincerity always end up understanding all the wrong things

We spend about 90 percent of our lives indoors, yet the air inside our homes and offices is often far more polluted than the air outside. Volatile organic compounds—better known as VOCs—are constantly emitted by furniture, cleaning products, and even the very walls around us. Formaldehyde, benzene, toluene—these chemicals sound like something you'd find in an industrial park, but they're actually in the places where we eat, sleep, and work. Well, what if nature could give us a hand here? What if plants, and even microbes, could be supercharged to clean our air at a level that truly makes a difference? That's exactly the mission of today's guest: Patrick Torbey, CEO and co-founder of Neoplants. His company is using synthetic biology to enhance houseplants and their soil microbes with built-in air purification superpowers. Right now, they are offering microbial powders called Power Drops to mix with water and sprinkle onto the soil of your own houseplants to super-charge their air purifying capacity. I already ordered mine and am using them now. They also offer Neo Px, which is their all-in-one plant and microbe duo, including a Marble Queen Pothos. The bottom line is that they claim their technology can make plants up to 30 times more effective at cleaning the air in our homes and offices than the plants we currently have today. Their systems don't just filter air pollution but actually metabolize it into harmless compounds. In this episode, Patrick and I have a wide-ranging conversation about topics like synthetic biology, science fiction, nature vs. nurture, and of course, how his company's tech will both make money and make the world a better place. Already the company has raised more than $20 million in venture capital, with more still yet to come. So, if you've ever wondered how science, business, and sustainability can come together to solve a problem hiding in plain sight—or in this case, plain smell—you won't want to miss this conversation. Discussed in this episode You can order Neoplants' microbes for your houseplants' soil here. Our past podcast episodes with Pivot Bio (nitrogen-enhancing microbes) and Living Carbon (rapid-growth trees). Patrick discussed how reading Cosmos changed his life. There was also a 1980 TV Series by Sagan called Cosmos and an updated remake in 2014 by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Patrick discusses how China is planting forests outside cities to improve air quality. Patrick recommends reading science fiction, leading Paul to recommend a book he recently read, Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. More about Patrick Torbey Patrick Torbey is the co-founder and CEO of Neoplants, a Paris-based synthetic biology startup, engineering plants' genomes and microbiomes to have a positive impact on the air we breathe. Patrick has a PhD in genetic editing from ENS Paris, his expertise spans molecular biology, biotechnology, and entrepreneurship. He drove Neoplants R&D efforts for many years as CTO, and is now leading the company. Patrick is passionate about taking the “fi” out of “sci-fi.” He is fascinated by the potential of deep technologies to change the world for the better, and convinced that we need more and better GMOs to face the challenges of today in a sustainable way.
I det nittiofjärde avsnittet av Tolkienpodden tar vi oss en närmare titt på den tecknade filmen Sagan om Ringen: Striden vid Rohan från förra året. Vi diskuterar handlingen och hur den skiljer sig från boken, tar upp hur den fungerar som film kontra Tolkienskildring och far även iväg på ett par sidospår. Från och med det här avsnittet plockar vi bort segmentet med tips och svarar i stället på en lyssnarfråga. Vi som har sett på film är som vanligt Adam Westlund De La Torre, Elisabet Bergander och Daniel Möller (som även står för musik och klippning).
Nous sommes au tout début de l'année 1901. C'est à Edimbourg qu'est publié le premier roman d'une jeune australienne. My Brilliant Career est un texte plein de fougue et d'insolence qui remet en question les conventions sociales, la famille, le rôle des femmes, le mariage … Le scandale est immense, le succès au rendez-vous. Miles Franklin a vingt ans, fille de fermiers du bush, elle a tenté de garder l'anonymat sous un pseudonyme masculin mais son identité est révélée. Ses contempteurs ne vont pas se priver : les critiques sont vachardes, cruelles, la misogynie triomphante. L'écrivaine, que les moins féroces ont qualifié, comme ce sera fait cinquante ans plus tard pour Françoise Sagan, de « charmant petit monstre », blessée mais pas découragée, s'embarque quelques années plus tard pour l'Amérique. Elle n'a pas d'argent, elle travaille le jour et écrit la nuit. Ses romans sont refusés, elle s'obstine tout en s'engageant dans différentes causes : elle milite pour les droits des femmes, pour l'amélioration des conditions de travail, elle organise, à Chicago, les tout premiers syndicats d'ouvrières. Elle manque de temps, elle s'épuise. Elle écrit pour la presse, chemin faisant, elle invente une nouvelle forme de journalisme. De retour en Europe, au tout début de la Première Guerre mondiale, elle part soigner les blessés dans les Balkans. Puis regagne l'Australie où elle obtient la plus ironique des revanches après des années de vaches maigres littéraires : le succès, triomphal et sans appel, d'une série de livres écrits sous l'étrange pseudonyme de Brent of Bin Bin. Miles Franklin tout au long de sa vie, dans l'adversité que suscite son sexe, n'a eu cesse de lutter pour les plus faibles et de préserver sa farouche nécessité d'indépendance et de liberté. Partons sur les traces de la mystérieuse, passionnée et absolue Miles Franklin… Avec nous : Alexandra Lapierre. « L'ardente et très secrète Miles Franklin » aux éditions Flammarion.

Fjölmennasta skátafélag landsins Hraunbúar Hafnarfirði fagnar 100 ára afmæli um þessar mundir og félagsforinginn Bjarni Freyr Þórðarsson segir að aðalatriðið í skátastarfinu snúist um að undirbúa fólk fyrir lífið. Skátastarfið snúist ekki um bikara og medalíur heldur veganesti út í lífið, sjálfsbjargarviðleitni og að efla sjálfstæða einstaklinga og leiðtoga. Við ræddum við Bjarna og Hörpu Hrönn Grétarsdóttur sveitaforingi, í dag. Það er ríkt í okkur að vilja láta gott af okkur leiða, en það eru ekki allir sem vita hvernig á að snúa sér þegar að því kemur. Eins getur verið snúið að ganga ekki of nærri sér á þeirri vegferð. Sigurborg Kr. Hannesdóttir sagði okkur í dag frá sinni reynslu, en hún hefur sjálf upplifað að ganga of nærri sér á slíkri vegferð og nú vill hún leiðbeina fólki í svipuðum sporum með því að nota þeirra eigin sögu, á netnámskeiði sem hún kallar Sagan af þér að breyta heiminum. Við fengum svo póstkort í dag frá Magnúsi R. Einarssyni og kort dagsins barst nú frá Vestmannaeyjum því Magnús er kominn heim frá Grænhöfðaeyjum. Hann sagði frá ýmsu því sem við er að eiga í Eyjum þessa dagana. Þar er tekist á um samgöngur, sem hafa verið í nokkru lamasessi vegna óveðurs í febrúar, sem og sandburðar í Landeyjahöfn. Hann sagði líka frá deilum sem hafa skapast vegna minnismerkis um gosið 1973, en um það verður haldin íbúafundur næsta föstudag.

EPISODE 129 | The Fermi Paradox: Here Comes Nobody If we are not unique as a species, an intelligent one that builds civilizations, then there must be lots and lots of other civilizations out there in the galaxy and the rest of the universe beyond. But if so, where the hell is everybody? That's the question at the heart of the Fermi Paradox. And this has kicked off a chain of reasoning and speculation that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and lets us start to envision, not just what might be out there, but where we ourselves want to go as a global civilization.

What I mean by the statement, All dogs go to heaven, is really a question I have been asked numerous times by both young and old: Will my pet go to heaven when it dies? I want to do my best to answer that question, but I want you to know that my answer will also address a much broader question related to what Gods ultimate plan is for his creation. We know what His plan is for humanity, but do you know if Gods plan of redemption includes animals? Let me begin by stating some things that could not be any clearer from the Bible and then we will dive into Psalm 8. So, here is what I know beyond a shadow of a doubt: The Bible assures us that God is the giver of every good thing (James 1:17); what this means is that God is not the taker of every good thing. When Nathan was five years old, we got him a kitten because we believed that he would enjoy having a cat. You have given gifts to your children out of your love for them as well. Here is what Jesus said about what we do for our children: If you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him (Matt. 7:1011)! God is so good that there is no room for improvement for Him to be better. I already mentioned James 1:17 but listen to what the verse actually states: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. In Psalm 106, we are told to give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy is everlasting (v. 1). According to Psalm 145, God is righteous in all His ways, and kind in all His works (v. 17). Because there is no room for improvement, God is not trying to get it right in the way He exercises His goodness. However, we live in a reality where the curse of sin is inseparable from our human experience and sorrow and sighing are like the compounds that come out of the curse that suck the joy out of life. You may even feel like Bruce from the movie Bruce Almighty in the way he described God: God is a mean kid sitting on an anthill with a magnifying glass, and I'm the ant. He could fix my life in five minutes if He wanted to, but he'd rather tear off my feelers and watch me squirm. So, lets walk through Psalm 8 together with the hope that there is enough in these verses to help us gain a fuller appreciation of what God is doing with this sin-cursed world. A Good God Created a Grand Creation I love the way the Bible begins: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters (Gen. 1:12). The earth was a formless and desolate emptiness until God spoke. He did not speak out of any need, for He was perfectly content within the fellowship of Himself in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God was not lonely or bored, nor was He obligated to speak and create. No, God created because He wanted to, and He wanted to create because He was motivated by love. Out of love, God desired to share that which nothing else could top or compare, which was Himself. God was motivated by love to share Himself with us. Our solar system is estimated to be about 12 trillion miles wide. The diameter of our sun is estimated to be 109 times the size of our earth, and if you were to drive from the Sun to Pluto, it would take an estimated 6,000 years to complete the trip. If that were not enough, you should know that our galaxy, the Milky Way, contains thousands of solar systems like ours. On our little planet, in our vast galaxy, lives just over 8 billion people. The renown astronomer, Carl Sagan, died believing that there was no compelling evidence for the existence of a Judeo-Christian-Islamic God, and said of our earth and the universe: If we are alone in the Universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space. David, in Psalm 8, answers Carl Sagans question, and if only Sagan could have opened his eyes to see what David saw: Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, You who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! If you are wondering if the universe is too big if life on earth is all there is, the answer is a resounding NO! The universe is the size that it is because it is testifying to the majesty and splendor of the One who spoke all of it into existence. The God who spoke all things into existence out of the overflow of His love and goodness is not only knowable but created us with purpose! A Grand God Created Mankind in His Image with Purpose There is only one creature of all the creatures created that was created in the image of God, and that creature is all of humanity. On the sixth day, after God created the animal kingdom and everything else, He created Adam and Eve: Then God said, Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth (Gen. 1:26). To Adam and Eve, God gave them the responsibility to manage His creation as His image bearers. Humans were commissioned and commanded to care for creation and at the same time add to creation by filling the earth with humans like themselves. We are not a part of the animal kingdom; we stand above the animal kingdom as stewards of what Almighty God created! King David marveled over this magnificent reality in his psalm: When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place; what is man that You think of him, And a son of man that You are concerned about him (Ps. 8:34)? David does not stop there, for what he says in the following verses ought to be enough to answer what place your pet has in the universe: You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas (vv. 68). Adam and Eve were commanded to manage the Garden, to be fruitful and multiply, and not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. As you know, they ate the forbidden fruit from that one tree, and by eating the fruit they brought a curse upon Gods creation. As a result, all of creation was cursed as the Scriptures testify: Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned... (Rom. 5:12). There is only one creature who bears the image of God, and that creature is mankind. As image bearers of the living God, we were created to live forever. There is a part of us that lives on after death known as our soul which is also referred to as our spirit (not to be confused with the Holy Spirit).[1] Unlike the rest of creation, humans have a soul that only God is able to destroy. So, when it comes to death, our soul lives on even after our body dies, but death for the Christian is not the end as we are assured from the Bible: For we know that if our earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. For indeed, in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, since in fact after putting it on, we will not be found naked. For indeed, we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. (2 Cor. 5:14) So, when your pet dies, there is no immaterial part of them that lives on because they do not bare the image of God and therefore do not have a soul. What this means is that when your pet does eventually die, regardless of the behavior, there is no eternal punishment or eternal life waiting for them... they simply cease to exist. The only creature that is born and lives in active rebellion towards God are humans. Unlike the animal kingdom, sin is now a part of our nature. A Good and Gracious God Has Provided Redemption Through a Second and Perfect Adam Now, remember what I said at the beginning of my sermon: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights... (Jas. 1:17). God is a good God who is the giver of every good thing, not the taker of every good thing! After Adam and Eve sinned, they were promised a Descendant who would reverse the curse of sin. A second and more perfect Adam was promised who would come to reverse the curse of sin: For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:17). The second and more perfect Adam was also promised to David who wrote Psalm 8! God assured David, When your days are finished and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from you, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever (2 Sam. 7:1213). What will this second and more perfect Adam do? According to Jeremiah 23:5-6, He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land.... Oh, and the Name by which the Son of David will also be called will be, The Lord Our Righteousness. In Isaiah we are promised that when He reigns as King, He will judge between the nations, and will mediate for many peoples; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning knives. Nation will not lift up a sword against nation, and never again will they learn war (Isa. 2:4). The second Adam would, be born of a virgin as fully human and fully diving: ...a Son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. When the second Adam comes to reign as King, His reign will bring the kind of peace only God is capable of restoring: ...the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and fattened steer will be together; and a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.... They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. (Isa. 11:6-7, 9) When it was announced by the angels to the shepherds that the promised King was born, it was declared to them: Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11). Jesus, as the second and better Adam, humbled Himself by, taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men.... He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross (Phil. 2:7-8). He was born to live the perfect life we could not live to die the death we all deserved. There is only One who is qualified to reverse the curse of sin, and it was and is Jesus! In Revelation 21:5, we are told that through His death and triumphant victory over death, that He is making all things new! This is what we all want and what all of creation is longing for! We long for a day without the dark cloud of the curse of sin. This is why Paul wrote, For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. (Rom. 8:18-21) When Jesus entered into Jerusalem the week before He was to be crucified for the sins of mankind, the children in the temple area shouted something that irritated the chief priests and scribes. As Jesus entered into Jerusalem, the children shouted: Hosanna to the Son of David! (see Matt. 21:15-16). The chief priests and scribes said to Jesus, Do you hear what these children are saying? What were the children saying? They were celebrating the promised second Adam, the righteous Branch of David, and the One who is to be called The Lord our Righteousness (see Jer. 23:5-6). Guess how Jesus answered the irritated religious leaders who were concerned about what the children were saying? He answered them by quoting Psalm 8:2, here is what He said: Yes. Have you never read [chief priests and scribes], From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself? Do you realize what Jesus said to the chief priests and scribes? He was essentially saying that although Adam made a mess of creation through his sin in the Garden, there was a Son of Man who was made a little lower than the angels and God when He willingly took on human flesh to become fully human while remaining fully God at the same time! Jesus did this for the purpose of redeeming mankind through His cross for our sins, and by doing so, made redemption possible for all creation, and this is the point of Psalm 5, Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! Do you hear Philippians 2 in Psalm 8? And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross. For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:8-11) Now, against the backdrop of Philippians 2:8-11, listen what Psalm 8:7-8 promises: You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. All of creation, including your pets, are eagerly awaiting for the completion of our redemption because when it happens to us, creation will enjoy the good and faithful reign of the second Adam over them as well, and when He comes to do that, He will make all things new and it is what He will restore that all of creation is longing for: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. And He who sits on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new. And He said, Write, for these words are faithful and true. On the Day Revelation 21 becomes our reality, all that was lost, will be restored and it will be even better than the Eden the first Adam lost! I am not sure if that means He will restore and make new your pet that was lost to the curse, but I do know that it will be better! The glory we will be crowned with will be the glory of King Jesus when, There will no longer be any curse... (Rev. 22:3). We will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away (Isa. 51:11)! The great hope of our future is not who is in office as our president, but the King who is coming to restore all that was lost through the first Adam. Christian, because you belong to the second Adam, you can declare with David: Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! [1] Soul and spirit are used synonymously in the Bible (e.g. Acts 7:54-60; Matt. 10:28).
What I mean by the statement, All dogs go to heaven, is really a question I have been asked numerous times by both young and old: Will my pet go to heaven when it dies? I want to do my best to answer that question, but I want you to know that my answer will also address a much broader question related to what Gods ultimate plan is for his creation. We know what His plan is for humanity, but do you know if Gods plan of redemption includes animals? Let me begin by stating some things that could not be any clearer from the Bible and then we will dive into Psalm 8. So, here is what I know beyond a shadow of a doubt: The Bible assures us that God is the giver of every good thing (James 1:17); what this means is that God is not the taker of every good thing. When Nathan was five years old, we got him a kitten because we believed that he would enjoy having a cat. You have given gifts to your children out of your love for them as well. Here is what Jesus said about what we do for our children: If you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him (Matt. 7:1011)! God is so good that there is no room for improvement for Him to be better. I already mentioned James 1:17 but listen to what the verse actually states: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. In Psalm 106, we are told to give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy is everlasting (v. 1). According to Psalm 145, God is righteous in all His ways, and kind in all His works (v. 17). Because there is no room for improvement, God is not trying to get it right in the way He exercises His goodness. However, we live in a reality where the curse of sin is inseparable from our human experience and sorrow and sighing are like the compounds that come out of the curse that suck the joy out of life. You may even feel like Bruce from the movie Bruce Almighty in the way he described God: God is a mean kid sitting on an anthill with a magnifying glass, and I'm the ant. He could fix my life in five minutes if He wanted to, but he'd rather tear off my feelers and watch me squirm. So, lets walk through Psalm 8 together with the hope that there is enough in these verses to help us gain a fuller appreciation of what God is doing with this sin-cursed world. A Good God Created a Grand Creation I love the way the Bible begins: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters (Gen. 1:12). The earth was a formless and desolate emptiness until God spoke. He did not speak out of any need, for He was perfectly content within the fellowship of Himself in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God was not lonely or bored, nor was He obligated to speak and create. No, God created because He wanted to, and He wanted to create because He was motivated by love. Out of love, God desired to share that which nothing else could top or compare, which was Himself. God was motivated by love to share Himself with us. Our solar system is estimated to be about 12 trillion miles wide. The diameter of our sun is estimated to be 109 times the size of our earth, and if you were to drive from the Sun to Pluto, it would take an estimated 6,000 years to complete the trip. If that were not enough, you should know that our galaxy, the Milky Way, contains thousands of solar systems like ours. On our little planet, in our vast galaxy, lives just over 8 billion people. The renown astronomer, Carl Sagan, died believing that there was no compelling evidence for the existence of a Judeo-Christian-Islamic God, and said of our earth and the universe: If we are alone in the Universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space. David, in Psalm 8, answers Carl Sagans question, and if only Sagan could have opened his eyes to see what David saw: Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, You who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! If you are wondering if the universe is too big if life on earth is all there is, the answer is a resounding NO! The universe is the size that it is because it is testifying to the majesty and splendor of the One who spoke all of it into existence. The God who spoke all things into existence out of the overflow of His love and goodness is not only knowable but created us with purpose! A Grand God Created Mankind in His Image with Purpose There is only one creature of all the creatures created that was created in the image of God, and that creature is all of humanity. On the sixth day, after God created the animal kingdom and everything else, He created Adam and Eve: Then God said, Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth (Gen. 1:26). To Adam and Eve, God gave them the responsibility to manage His creation as His image bearers. Humans were commissioned and commanded to care for creation and at the same time add to creation by filling the earth with humans like themselves. We are not a part of the animal kingdom; we stand above the animal kingdom as stewards of what Almighty God created! King David marveled over this magnificent reality in his psalm: When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place; what is man that You think of him, And a son of man that You are concerned about him (Ps. 8:34)? David does not stop there, for what he says in the following verses ought to be enough to answer what place your pet has in the universe: You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas (vv. 68). Adam and Eve were commanded to manage the Garden, to be fruitful and multiply, and not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. As you know, they ate the forbidden fruit from that one tree, and by eating the fruit they brought a curse upon Gods creation. As a result, all of creation was cursed as the Scriptures testify: Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned... (Rom. 5:12). There is only one creature who bears the image of God, and that creature is mankind. As image bearers of the living God, we were created to live forever. There is a part of us that lives on after death known as our soul which is also referred to as our spirit (not to be confused with the Holy Spirit).[1] Unlike the rest of creation, humans have a soul that only God is able to destroy. So, when it comes to death, our soul lives on even after our body dies, but death for the Christian is not the end as we are assured from the Bible: For we know that if our earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. For indeed, in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, since in fact after putting it on, we will not be found naked. For indeed, we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. (2 Cor. 5:14) So, when your pet dies, there is no immaterial part of them that lives on because they do not bare the image of God and therefore do not have a soul. What this means is that when your pet does eventually die, regardless of the behavior, there is no eternal punishment or eternal life waiting for them... they simply cease to exist. The only creature that is born and lives in active rebellion towards God are humans. Unlike the animal kingdom, sin is now a part of our nature. A Good and Gracious God Has Provided Redemption Through a Second and Perfect Adam Now, remember what I said at the beginning of my sermon: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights... (Jas. 1:17). God is a good God who is the giver of every good thing, not the taker of every good thing! After Adam and Eve sinned, they were promised a Descendant who would reverse the curse of sin. A second and more perfect Adam was promised who would come to reverse the curse of sin: For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:17). The second and more perfect Adam was also promised to David who wrote Psalm 8! God assured David, When your days are finished and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from you, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever (2 Sam. 7:1213). What will this second and more perfect Adam do? According to Jeremiah 23:5-6, He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land.... Oh, and the Name by which the Son of David will also be called will be, The Lord Our Righteousness. In Isaiah we are promised that when He reigns as King, He will judge between the nations, and will mediate for many peoples; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning knives. Nation will not lift up a sword against nation, and never again will they learn war (Isa. 2:4). The second Adam would, be born of a virgin as fully human and fully diving: ...a Son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. When the second Adam comes to reign as King, His reign will bring the kind of peace only God is capable of restoring: ...the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and fattened steer will be together; and a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.... They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. (Isa. 11:6-7, 9) When it was announced by the angels to the shepherds that the promised King was born, it was declared to them: Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11). Jesus, as the second and better Adam, humbled Himself by, taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men.... He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross (Phil. 2:7-8). He was born to live the perfect life we could not live to die the death we all deserved. There is only One who is qualified to reverse the curse of sin, and it was and is Jesus! In Revelation 21:5, we are told that through His death and triumphant victory over death, that He is making all things new! This is what we all want and what all of creation is longing for! We long for a day without the dark cloud of the curse of sin. This is why Paul wrote, For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. (Rom. 8:18-21) When Jesus entered into Jerusalem the week before He was to be crucified for the sins of mankind, the children in the temple area shouted something that irritated the chief priests and scribes. As Jesus entered into Jerusalem, the children shouted: Hosanna to the Son of David! (see Matt. 21:15-16). The chief priests and scribes said to Jesus, Do you hear what these children are saying? What were the children saying? They were celebrating the promised second Adam, the righteous Branch of David, and the One who is to be called The Lord our Righteousness (see Jer. 23:5-6). Guess how Jesus answered the irritated religious leaders who were concerned about what the children were saying? He answered them by quoting Psalm 8:2, here is what He said: Yes. Have you never read [chief priests and scribes], From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself? Do you realize what Jesus said to the chief priests and scribes? He was essentially saying that although Adam made a mess of creation through his sin in the Garden, there was a Son of Man who was made a little lower than the angels and God when He willingly took on human flesh to become fully human while remaining fully God at the same time! Jesus did this for the purpose of redeeming mankind through His cross for our sins, and by doing so, made redemption possible for all creation, and this is the point of Psalm 5, Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! Do you hear Philippians 2 in Psalm 8? And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross. For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:8-11) Now, against the backdrop of Philippians 2:8-11, listen what Psalm 8:7-8 promises: You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. All of creation, including your pets, are eagerly awaiting for the completion of our redemption because when it happens to us, creation will enjoy the good and faithful reign of the second Adam over them as well, and when He comes to do that, He will make all things new and it is what He will restore that all of creation is longing for: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. And He who sits on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new. And He said, Write, for these words are faithful and true. On the Day Revelation 21 becomes our reality, all that was lost, will be restored and it will be even better than the Eden the first Adam lost! I am not sure if that means He will restore and make new your pet that was lost to the curse, but I do know that it will be better! The glory we will be crowned with will be the glory of King Jesus when, There will no longer be any curse... (Rev. 22:3). We will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away (Isa. 51:11)! The great hope of our future is not who is in office as our president, but the King who is coming to restore all that was lost through the first Adam. Christian, because you belong to the second Adam, you can declare with David: Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

A deep investigation of mysterious geometric structures on the surface of Mars• Explores a wide variety of anomalous structures on Mars's surface that display a high degree of geometric and pictographic design• Examines sites such as the Elysium pyramid famously described by Carl Sagan and city complexes in the Nepenthes Mensae and Atlantis Chaos regions• Argues that Mayan creation stories of a Star War and Sumerian myths of the Anunnaki provide ancient evidence for the existence of a Martian cultureExploring evidence of a lost Martian civilization and its contact with Earth, investigator George Haas examines a wide variety of anomalous structures and geoglyphs on Mars's surface that display a high degree of geometric and symbolic design that reveal an ancient bond between Earth and Mars. He takes a closer look at Carl Sagan's famous pyramid of Elysium, including high-resolution images released after Sagan's death. Investigating a pair of city complexes in the Nepenthes Mensae region of the Red Planet, Haas shows how the settlements include geometric formations of a five-sided star and a hexagonal pyramid, along with geoglyphic formations representing a dove, a killer whale, and a bat.Examining the Libya Montes region, he reveals a keyhole-shaped formation identical in design to ancient tombs built in Japan. In the Atlantis Chaos region, he investigates the remains of an ancient city nestled along a dead lake, an urban-like array of gridded broken walls and shattered foundations. He then explores a detailed parrot-shaped geoglyph in the large-impact crater known as Argyre Basin that four veterinarians found to possess 22 points of anatomical correctness with terrestrial parrots.George J. Haas is the founder and premier investigator of the Mars research group known as The Cydonia Institute. A member of the Society for Planetary SETI Research, he has coauthored two books and six peer-reviewed science papers related to anomalous formations on the surface of Mars. He has appeared on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and on the History Channel's Ancient Aliens, The Proof is Out There, and The UnXplained with William Shatner. He lives in Waterford, Virginia.https://thecydoniainstitute.com/Providing an ancient Mesoamerican connection to the civilizations of Mars, Haas looks at a lesser-known Mayan creation story about a Star-War that occurred 800,000 years ago. He reveals parallels between this story and ancient Sumerian stories of the Anunnaki occupation of Earth and Mars as documented by Zecharia Sitchin. Haas also shows how there is a direct correlation between the ruins on Mars and the art and architecture of Mesoamerican cultures, providing clear evidence of a long-disappeared Martian civilization that we are only now rediscovering.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
As we enter what promises to be an era of American-style Christo-fascism, it's hard for secular people -- people of reason, of science, who believe that faith is earned by evidence -- to not be cynical of those whose deeply held yet unproveable (indeed, improbable) beliefs will soon be determining our laws and dictating our behaviors.Yet, without hope there is only despair. So as we turn the page on 2024, a year of frustration followed by cautious optimism followed by grief for some/surrender for others, we at Unreasonable are like moths seeking the light. Our flame? Sasha Sagan. Sasha is a television producer, filmmaker, writer, and speaker on the ways science can inform our celebrations and how we mark the passage of time, inspired in part by the work of her parents, Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan.Her podcast “Strange Customs” explores why we practice the rites of our ancestors, act them out, teach them to the next generation, often without questioning them. "When we take a step back, however, what can seem bizarre, arbitrary…can also be, sometimes, profoundly beautiful.”Our holiday gift to you: a ray of reason-based sunshine for these gloomy times.

Take a cautionary stance as gearheads, geeks and the great unwashed makers look forward to 2025 - it's our year to make great, but some of that tin needs straightening. From the evil of your refrigerator conspiring with the dishwasher to convince the thermostat to drop the house to 42º, to the sloppy software from fool programmers on the wrong side of the wall allowing your data to be hacked by your car before you even get out of the driveway, it's time to get paranoid and understand that bad governance won't fix itself. We've never seen so much of the tail of hidden corruption than we can now, so take a running start. It's in there: Sagan's theory on why tech without morality can end worlds (where's the stop sign?), why bad governors in sad states will still push failed technology (because it benefits them), and how the companies you shop need to be held to your standard (because Costco won't fix itself).

Planeringen inför 2025 pågår för fulla muggar och alla fingervisningar om vad som uppskattas mest är värdefulla för oss. Men först ska avsluta poddåret 2024 men en sjujävla berättelse!Norden har sin egen Herakles. Han kallades Beowulf och enligt det kväde som bär hans namn dräpte han tre monster under sin långa och ärofyllda gärning. Sagan är en av JRR Tolkiens största inspirationer för berättelserna från Midgård.Men Beowulfkvädet är också föremål för en intensiv och ganska illasinnad debatt om huruvida den går att använda som historisk källa. Sagan kommer mycket sannolikt från nordiskt 500-tal innan den skrevs ned i England någon gång på 700-talet. Sagan äger rum på Danmark och innehåller referenser till sveakungar och medeltida krig.

Chapter 1:Summary of The Demon-Haunted World"The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan is a compelling exploration of science, skepticism, and the importance of critical thinking in contemporary society. Published in 1995, the book emphasizes the distinction between scientific reasoning and superstition, arguing that a rational understanding of the universe can dispel the metaphorical demons of ignorance, fear, and superstition.Sagan discusses the rise of pseudoscience, superstition, and conspiracy theories, highlighting how these beliefs can proliferate in the absence of scientific literacy. He underscores the importance of skepticism, encouraging readers to question claims and seek evidence rather than accept ideas blindly. Through a variety of examples—ranging from UFOs and alien abductions to witch hunts and pseudoscientific practices—Sagan illustrates the dangers that arise when society abandons critical inquiry.The book also celebrates the beauty and wonder of science, asserting that it not only explains the natural world but also enriches our lives by fostering curiosity and a sense of awe. Sagan advocates for scientific education, proposing that a well-informed populace is better equipped to navigate the complexities of modern life.Ultimately, "The Demon-Haunted World" serves as a call to embrace science and rationality, positioning them as tools for enlightenment in an era where misinformation can easily take root. Sagan's passionate defense of the scientific method and his articulate prose make this work a powerful manifesto for skepticism and reason.Chapter 2:The Theme of The Demon-Haunted World"The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan is a non-fiction work that emphasizes the importance of scientific literacy and critical thinking in a world filled with superstition and pseudoscience. Here are key plot points, character development themes, and ideas explored in the book: Key Points1. Skepticism and Critical Thinking: Sagan argues for the necessity of skepticism when facing claims about the supernatural or pseudoscientific phenomena. He encourages readers to employ critical thinking skills, using the scientific method as a means to distinguish between credible information and unfounded beliefs.2. Science vs. Superstition: The title itself reflects a dichotomy where the "demon" represents ignorance and superstition, while the "candle" symbolizes the enlightenment brought about by scientific understanding. Sagan discusses various historical and contemporary examples of how superstition can lead to harmful consequences.3. The Role of Science in Society: Sagan emphasizes the importance of a scientifically literate society, advocating for education that fosters curiosity and analytical thinking. He discusses how science can improve our understanding of the world and solve pressing societal issues.4. Pseudoscience and Misconceptions: Throughout the book, Sagan critically analyzes various pseudoscientific claims, such as UFOs, astrology, and paranormal phenomena. He illustrates how such beliefs can gain traction and the implications this has for society at large.5. The Wonder of Science: Despite the critical stance on superstition, Sagan also passionately articulates the beauty and wonder found in scientific inquiry, arguing that science does not diminish the sense of awe; rather, it enhances it by providing deeper understanding.6. The Importance of Educated Public Discourse: Sagan warns against complacency and the dangers of an uninformed populace. He argues that a well-informed public is essential for democracy, especially in making decisions about technology and public policy that rely heavily on scientific knowledge. Character DevelopmentWhile "The Demon-Haunted World" doesn't have characters in the...
