Original Note:
Incorrect. There is no evidence CS said this. Its was debunked years ago. These are words of a Newsweek reporter that wrote article about CS, but these are her words, not his. Now copied round by misinformation accounts like Curiosity (previously known as Amazing Astronomy) https://carlsaganinstitute.cornell.edu/news/misattribution-will-often-carry-us-quotes-never-were https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/03/18/incredible/?amp=1 https://www.science.org/content/article/dark-side-online-space-disinformation
