			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been watching lots of Babylon 5 lately, and just realized that a recurring part of Minbari philosophy could be seen as an homage to one of my greatest idols, Carl Sagan. And seeing it&#8217;s almost November 9th, which would have been his 75th birthday, I think a post is in order.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.erlendaakre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Carl_Sagan_Planetary_Society.JPG"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-769" title="Carl_Sagan_Planetary_Society" src="http://www.erlendaakre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Carl_Sagan_Planetary_Society.JPG" alt="Carl_Sagan_Planetary_Society" width="328" height="448" /></a></p>
<p>The Minbari in Babylon 5 believes all life are manifested as a way for the universe to examine every piece of itself. This reminds me of two quotes from Carl:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;We are a way for the universe to know itself&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;We are made of star stuff&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a great video about the origins of the universe</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ShJwq3aPLMk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ShJwq3aPLMk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>And why not throw in a few more great quotes (ok, I had a hard time selecting, so it became QUITE a few) <img src='http://www.erlendaakre.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>&#8220;If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Humans — who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals — have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and &#8216;animals&#8217; is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them — without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it&#8217;s forever. &#8220;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can&#8217;t all be correct&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;For the first time, we have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves. This is a time of great danger, but our species is young, and curious, and brave. It shows much promise.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads. But to find the truth, we need imagination and skepticism both.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;In the vastness of the Cosmos there must be other civilizations far older and more advanced than ours.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudo-science and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Credulity kills&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.erlendaakre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Carl_Sagan_Memorial_Station.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-770" title="Carl_Sagan_Memorial_Station" src="http://www.erlendaakre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Carl_Sagan_Memorial_Station-300x169.jpg" alt="Carl_Sagan_Memorial_Station" width="300" height="169" /></a><br />

<li>I bought a Wardrums booster pack and only got 1 new figure <img src='http://www.erlendaakre.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>The movie &#8216;<a target="_blank" title="Crappy movie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_men">Children of Men</a>&#8216; is utter total rubbish!</li>
<li>I got the last dvd box of Babylon 5</li>
<li>Almost done with season 9 or Stargate SG1, and second season of Atlantis</li>
<li>UFO Afterlight is very good, quite a bit different from other UFO games, but still a great game..</li>
<li>1 week until Silent Hunter 4 is released! <img src='http://www.erlendaakre.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>Nemi is changing into her summer coat</li>
<li>Iran is not as enthusiastic about <a target="_blank" title="300 - movie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_%28film%29">300</a>, as I am</li>
