Carl Sagan on Extraterrestrials *

“The evolutionary record is clear that extraterrestrials would be very different from us” - Carl Sagan in 1985, as told to Studs Terkel.   The incomprehensible vastness of the universe, the wonder of our own place in it all... Carl Sagan was able to explain the science of space in a way everyone could understand. As part of our special series, The Experimenters -- we’re uncovering interviews with the icons of science, technology, and innovation -- we found this conversation between Studs Terkel and Carl Sagan in the WFMT Studs Terkel Radio Archive. For this episode, we've zeroed in on Sagan's thoughts on intelligent life in space, our place in the universe, and the Bible when it comes to explaining the natural world.
