The Varieties of Scientific Experience
A Personal View of the Search for God
Book • 2006
This book is a transcription of nine lectures delivered by Carl Sagan in 1985 at the University of Glasgow as part of the Gifford Lectures.
The lectures discuss natural theology, the origin of life, the existence of intelligent life outside the solar system, and the threat of self-destruction of mankind.
Sagan argues that science is not a counter-divine tool but rather a means to better understand the world around us.
The book includes questions from the audience and Sagan's responses, which sometimes turn into engaging discussions.
