About This Quote
This quote is an allusion to the great astronomer Carl Sagan’s famous book, “The Dragons of Eden.” Sagan’s writing is used in this quote because he was a biologist and a space scientist. He used the phrase “microscopic blue dot” to refer to our planet, Earth. In his books, Sagan explains that the Earth is one of the smallest objects in the universe and once you realize that it’s so small, it becomes clear that man could not have come by accident. He believed that we must have been designed by a higher intelligence to be here on Earth – just as we have been designed to have eyes, ears and a brain – and that we were made by evolution to survive on this planet.
