Movies, literature, talking about if gods were astronauts, about an alien aboard a spaceship, that's fiction.
Science, however, has another level of responsibility.
It can't treat the subject that way.
There's a book by Carl Sagan, who was probably one of the greatest scientific exponents in the United States, called Demon Haunted World, in which he touches upon the amount of scientific ignorance of American society, of rulers, of statesmen.
Ronald Reagan, for example, would rely on a card reader to make his decisions.
Back then, he would say that there was only one that had a background in science, which was the prime minister of the UK who had a degree in chemistry.
So, he would say that the average American was so ignorant, scientifically speaking, that they had the equivalent mentality of someone from the end of the 19th century.
So, these people would look at science from a great, great distance.
Their worldview is explained by the presence of demons and not by the presence of science.
So, that has to be taken into account, that situation.

And 90% of Americans would say, well, it's because they couldn't fit into Noah's Ark.
And that's why they disappeared, because they were left out of Noah's Ark.
So, this issue has to be taken into account.

Yes, and there is a type of astrology which would turn to knowledge as well, which is Egyptian astrology.
It's not the astrology that comes from horoscopes that you read in the newspaper, that's another thing.
The astrology that was referred to in Egypt was based on the rigorous examination
of the stars, it wasn't this mere poppycock made to sell these packages with astrology and horoscope issues that were sold with daily papers.
There's another important book by Carl Sagan, which it's called, I'm not sure in English, but in Brazil it's called Billions and Billions.
