If a loved one was murdered, one would want the
forensic team to look for as many clues as is scientifically possible to find
the killer. Remember when DNA evidence didn’t exist? Maybe I am aging myself; heck,
I remember a day when our TVs were black and white, and to use the phone, you
had to check to see if somebody on your party line was using it. If you
listened in to their conversation was dependent on your personality, Facebook
drama long before its time.
As I have told you before, we have very
philosophical discussions at work. As always, I take the side of an atheist who
needs to have some sort of proof before I put all my eggs in one basket.
Again as I have told you before, some people will
not look at the evidence. I cannot prove my points unless they look at what I
am putting down.
One person in the lunchroom said, “What difference
does it make to me?”
Many people ask the same question.
My answer is this: Shouldn’t we know who we are and
where we come from if we are to tackle the challenges of the future? I believe
we are here on our own. We are so a primitive species, the first on Earth to
use our intelligence and hands to change our world. I’m sure we will find out
we are not the only life in the galaxy before I die. Will this change our
vanity?
‘We have also arranged things so that almost no one
understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We
might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture
of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.’ Carl
Sagan
