This has all happend before.........

Find it in you, raise your eyes
Look beyond the place you stand
Towards the furthest reaches
And to the smallest of things
The sound you're hearing
Is the symphony of what we are
Revelation will not come
With heart and mind closed and divided

No need of sun to light the way
Across the ages, we have reigned as we endured
Through the storm fronts we will ever surely pass
To stand as never ending light

Throw away the mantle
Awake from your uncertain hesitation
No way to describe or equate the feeling
No end to what is at your command
A million thoughts run through you
Concentric circles, ever greater
But you have always known
That this is not all that there is
To your questions there'll be answers

Let there be, let there always be
Never ending light

Skeptics

Hello all, sorry for the long absence. You know, sometimes life just happens. Let’s just say that as long as I get that Neuron dematerialize in the mail this week the world will be saved once again!
Ok, in all seriousness. I recently got into several discussions questioning my belief in skepticism and my "soulless" love for science. I thought for the sake of brevity, and in order to remunerate my viewpoint I would turn to a couple of videos.

The first is just a gem that I found this morning on the nature of science and how most people have a skewed view of it.

The next is from the TED conference, If you are not familiar with this, I highly suggest you check it out!

Science is not a noun but rather a verb. It is a method in order to explain the world around us. It is a comprehensive framework for describing, making and falsifiable about related sets of phenomena based on rigorous experimentation, observation and logic.

If you would like to learn more about the skeptic movement The Skeptics Guide to the Universe blog is a great place to start:

until I have more time,
Peace.
