Why people are concidered as part of the universe?
We are considered part of the universe because you are in the universe, created in the universe and if science is correct everything that goes to make you comes from the universe. Every part of your body except the hydrogen was produced in a star. The Iron and sodium in your blood, the carbon in you, the oxygen you breathe were all created in the core of a star. Heavier elements such as iodine where produced in colossal exploding stars called supernovae. The famous physicist Carl Sagan once said "We are all star stuff". Even the hydrogen in you body was created in the Big Bang. Another quote from Carl Sagan. "We are a way for the universe to know itself." Similarly everything that makes anything you know is made up of parts of the universe. Carl Sagan said "If you want to make an apple pie. First you must create the universe."
Carl Sagans religious views?
I guess atheist. at press conferences he would get asked if he believed in God, and it went something like this: Person with question: "So, do you believe in God?" Carl: What do you mean by that?" Person w/ q: "You know, an all powerful force that fills the universe." Carl: Oh, you mean like gravity." so yeah i got that from a biography i read on him so its pretty accurate. hope it helped
What is Carl Sagan's religion?
Sagan himself answered this, "I'm agnostic."; which simply means he does not know if there is a god or what the nature of god might be and does not believe that this is knowable.However admitting not knowing something does not prevent having an opinion on the subject and developing personal beliefs. For Sagan these personal beliefs leaned towards a form of pantheism comparable to Einstein's belief in Spinoza's God. His son, Dorion Sagan said, "My father believed in the God of Spinoza and Einstein."Therefore one could call Carl Sagan a pantheistic agnostic (i.e. an agnostic that has voluntarily chosen to believe in pantheism without requiring evidence for it).
What is the series cosmos about?
The TV series "Cosmos", narrated by astronomer Carl Sagan, explored some of what is - or was then - known about the formation of the universe. Many of his observations, recorded in the late 1970s, seem somewhat dated now, but the "big ideas" he explored have become more well understood. It is well worth watching, although somewhat preachy and pedantic. The music by Vangelis provides a stirring if irrelevant counterpoint to the concepts introduced. In a couple of places, however, even Sagan understates the truth. There is a well-known parody of Sagan's signature line "BIL-lions and BIL-lions of stars", when we now know that the truth is "Billions OF billions of stars".

How many galaxy in the universe?
Astronomer and science popularizer Carl Sagan used to say that there were "BIL-lions and BIL-lions" of galaxies. Now, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope's "Deep Field" observations, we know that Sagan was wrong. There are not "billions and billions"; there are "billions OF billions" of other galaxies in the universe.With every improvement in telescope technology, we can see farther and farther, and still we cannot see any end of it.
