What is Carl Sagan's religion?
Asked by Wiki User
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).
Was Carl Sagan a vegetarian?
Asked by Wiki User
Carl Sagan had empathy for all life. -
"Humans - who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals - have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and "animals" is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them - without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. They are just too much like us."
-from Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, 1992
However, despite this and other passages in Sagan's work, it is difficult to find any evidence that Sagan was a vegetarian or vegan.

How many claws can a snake have Carl Sagan claims the mamba has four one for each vestigial leg.?
Asked by Wiki User
Snakes do not have claws. They have evolved from reptiles with limbs, but over time, their legs became vestigial and eventually disappeared. Therefore, snakes do not have any claws, including the mamba. Carl Sagan's claim about the mamba having four claws for vestigial legs is not accurate.
