Scientifically Speaking
A weird and somewhat philosophical thought randomly came to mind the other night as I was standing on the risers singing at a chorus concert. It suddenly hit me that science is manmade. Just like time is manmade, and the definitions for everything we know are manmade. (I'm sure my choir director would love to know how my mind wanders during performance, of all things. Yeesh.) Yet, science purports to be the answer to all things we don't know. Where does cancer come from? Well, we don't know...but SCIENCE is working to figure it out. People who don't believe in God tend to side with science. Yet, we made up the concept of science. So how is it any better to believe in that? And I guess the peripheral thought is, if we can't physically prove God exists, and we base our world on science but science was created by us, then technically no one belief is any better than the other. There's so much more to this, but I'll stop here to let you mull it over. Less is more, as they say in the journalistic world.
*No kidding, my word verification is smokr. Wootka!

The whole arbitrary time thing wigs me out. And how do they FIGURE OUT quantum physics?! My wee bitty head hurts...
