science | faith

in no way am I saying... YES! Weirdbiz is now a music blog.
Weirdbiz is like life. It cannot be defined. It is like life in that
is rambling and incoherent. Do you really think any of this makes any
sense? We are just like blind men searching for a key to a door that
doesn't exist. That can bring a lot of sadness - this idea of
meaninglessness and that's why people made up God and all of that sort
of stuff. That's all well and good. That's why people study the
fabric of this reality and call it science. That's even better. But
is it truly getting us closer to anything we can really call truth?
It is only a way to understand this place we happen to be in - but it
doesn't really go deeper than that - that's why... I don't really
think that science and spirituality are some kind of mutually
exclusive things - I think they really don't have anything to do with
each other because they don't seek to answer the same questions nor
could one ever hope to answer the questions the other one does. Faith
and spirituality are no way to to try and understand this particular
existance. It's just silly. We have facts... we have data - we have
things to go on. Superstition is stupid and lazy. It's not deep.
It's not interesting. There's nothing good about it. That being
said... while I respect science I don't think that studying the
information we have in this world is necessarily everything ...
because how could it be? I mean it may be everything we can state as
a "fact" but it's all a fact relative to this being whatever it is.
In any equation you must have some sort of number to start with... you
must have some sort of jumping off point... it's not all just random
floating information that makes sense within itself... there's really
no such thing. What I'm getting at is... Science will never be able
to tell us what is outside of our Universe. Science will never be
able to say - this is the only universe ... there's certainly no
reason to "believe" or to have "faith" in any thing else - that's not
what I'm getting at - I'm just saying there's no way of knowing beyond
that. I believe I read Stephen Hawking once say that there was
absolutely know way of knowing anything about what happened before the
big bang... now I know there's a lot to study on what happened after
the big bang so... it's not like we have it all figured out... but to
me that shows the limits of science... the limits of our understanding
using the facts and figures of our world... don't get me wrong I find
science fascinating... but science is really only the study of this
world - the study of what is true ... here... and that's great. I can
see the POV that thats all we should really worry about. but I think
there's some sort of longing for something that goes even further...
and that's why people have created Gods as long as they've been
around.
