Russell: >> When you are studying any matter,
or considering any philosophy,
ask yourself only: What are the facts,
and what is the truth that the facts bear out.
Sagan: >> ♪ Science is more than a body of knowledge.

can be found in science,

it's not evil, it's remarkable.
And the way to understand the physical world is to use science.

sweeping across America, Britain, Europe, Australia,

and he'll think for a lifetime.

Sagan: >> ♪ Cosmology brings us face to face with the deepest mysteries
with questions that were once treated only in religion and myth.
The desire to be connected with the Cosmos reflects a profound reality.
