Pop-culture astronomer Carl Sagan is responsible for the phrase. Sagan also told the world that the planet was doomed if Saddam ever lit off the oil wells during the Gulf War. Saddam lit them off, American technology put them out and the world barely burped. Extraordinary claims call for mundane evidence.
Well in his defense he was a hack that lots of sheeple still follow. Don't hold it against them.

We cannot hold willful stupidity against anyone now? IS that just too judgmental these days?
