<VV> Barn ~ and swamp ~ Finds ... What lurks in the woods ?

[Charles Lee]

Hi Joel,

Exactly what does it mean that "Carl Sagan [] was more into religious
evolution propaganda than science" ?

I remember a comment he made in an interview, when asked about "celibate
clergy" and he said he was in favor of it.

When asked why he favored a "celibate clergy" he said, "Because it keeps it
from spreading," which was not the response that the interviewer was
expecting, not the direction he was trying to push Mr. Sagan ?

I can't recall anything Carl Sagan did that would undermine him as a
scientist, other than popularizing it by making it understandable to the
masses.

I agree though that letters do not certify ownership, like the Corvair that
is alleged to have been owned by an astronaut, that says it was a
convertible that started life a hardtop, but the VIN is for a convertible
and the letter is signed by a preacher ?

Charlie

Both Spyders have quite a bit missing.  From what I've seen of Carl Sagan he
was more into religious evolution propaganda than science.  I wonder how
people authenticate claimed prior owners?  A signed paper that claims
someone used to own a car isn't worth much.  I should have copied the titles
of cars that I've purchased over the years.  I could at least then know who
they were titled to before the previous owner.  Texas titles have the
current and previous owner listed.

Some "Swamp Things" can be worthwhile like Carl Sagan's Spyder ?

Whatever happened to this car ~ is it worth restoring because it has a place
in the science books ?

Pretty bad shape, but some justification for having more than scrap value ?

Probably worth more than the newer Spyder in the other picture !
