I have a limited tolerance for the current trend in running every sound byte in existence through an autotune filter. So when I first saw that somebody had spliced together some clips from Cosmos and set them to music, I was less than enthused; I listened anyway, and my initial impression was “Carl Sagan autotuned sounds like Kermit the Frog talking into a spinning fan.”
But the thing started popping up everywhere, so I gave it another listen. And another. And another. And then some more. I’m listening to it now.
So just in case anyone who frequents atheist-oriented blogs hasn’t seen it yet:
The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the starsA still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way
In the face of this reality, all the gods and spirits, myths and legends of mankind are nothing. And that’s a wonderful thought.
