→Contact and Religion: new section
::::Yes and you did not show the comments were slanderous. I did add material as well. [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 04:30, 10 September 2010 (EDT)

::::: "Gullible" is a subjective description, given without any source to support it, and was thus slanderous. However, I see you've taken that out and have included references to explain "pseudoscience fantasies", so I won't press the point. The section on the Barna Group seems to be lifted from the "Another Atheist Pothead" satire, and more addresses atheism rather than Carl Sagan's work. Perhaps this should be moved to the [[Atheism]] page? [[User:AndrewWi|AndrewWi]] 15:50, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

== Contact and Religion ==
Didn't the end of "Contact" at least somewhat imply the existence of a greater power such as God? On the other hand, Canadian science-fiction author Robert J Sawyer said that "Sagan is no more obligated to believe [the religious themes of Contact] than George Lucas is to believe in The Force". Is this worth mentioning?
