You should never make fun of someone else’s beliefs Where you are right now has less than a few hundred million miles of surface area You can’t even walk on 70% of it 77 years of life on average if you’re a healthy American That’s only 4,015 weeks 28,105 days on this small planet floating in a large black mass You’ve already lived about one eighth of your life Time won’t stop for you Your days on this blue marble go by and there’s nothing you can do to stop it Believing there’s something more is nothing to scoff at Do you really believe that? they say Do you really believe there is a man in the sky? Well since you asked here’s my answer I believe there is meaning in every day I believe there is a point to waking up and doing good actions I believe there is a spirit in emotion And a metaphysical being who loves me endlessly Yes I believe in something more Now it’s my turn Do you really believe that? Do you really believe this whole thing is a scientific coincidence? A cosmic collision at a specific point An explosion that created all of this Perfect atoms with electrons that bond and share Creating perfect cells with all the right organelles A process of cellular respiration that coordinates as a perfect opposite to photosynthesis All to maintain homeostasis, the so-called “wonder process” that keeps us all alive Our bodies preserve an exact temperature, the ocean an exact pH and salinity and the ground an exact resistivity To keep us all alive Scientific coincidence We are all a coincidence? What about that shooting in Newtown More than one kid took a gun to his head and what for? Why was that so tragic? The shooter could have been conducting a scientific experiment What is the basis of right and wrong derived from? What are feelings derived from? Don’t tell me it’s science Don’t tell me that it’s science that makes you cry when you get dumped Science that breaks your heart when you lose that state championship Science that lightens your spirit when you go home to your beautiful family after a long hard day It’s not science It’s your soul A soul given to you with a light side and a dark side A soul with genius thoughts and horrid sins Genius thoughts you should act on Horrid sins you may commit anyway and He will love you He will forgive you Will your precious science forgive you? I wouldn’t force anything on anyone I wouldn’t question beliefs in science had my faith in God not first been tested I’m not asking you to believe, whether you do or not won’t affect our relations I just need to explain To each his own So don’t laugh at me
