Call out To the Science lovers:
Come on tumblr, if there’s something I know you can do is raise awareness. Well why not raise awareness for something that literally affects everyone?
Help me expand the number of people interested in everything Science and Astronomy, by reposting this Intro to Carl Sagan’s 1980’s hit series “Cosmos”.Not to sound like an advertisement for a 30 year old documentary but If you’re a person of many questions towards the universe and many of life’s questions viewed through rational eyes, Cosmos is the show for you.

We still have a chance now while all is moderately (being generous with that word) stable to make changes for the sake of our future.

If this struck you as interesting and you’d like more, you can find a full post on the show’s downloadable links here. It’s also up on Hulu and Netflix (entire series.). Everyone deserves to watch this. Religious or Not.
Because It really is about time that the rationally stable became outspoken and spread their word. Reblog if You support Science
In a planet where reason and logic ruled with science, this post would have had about 2,000 reblogs by now. Now if this were an image of a shirt thrown on a bed, it would probably be at 6,000. Shame.
Carl Sagan is one of my heroes. There is a reason this documentary is still relevant 30 years later — it was put...
I usually hate these “reblog if…” things, but for once I think it’s worth it.
