"A Rhyme to Reason"

Future possibilities based on current trends.The randomness of reality; a time with many ends.The world of metaphysics – the realm of the spiritual mind,foundational non sequiturs become the scapegoat of the Divine.Mankind will never know all that he seeks to find.The speed and position of the electron can never be defined.Space and time distortions, no equations can compute,the ‘constants’ within nature – no matter how acute.The sun will never rise the way it did today.The moon will lambently shine in a slightly different way.Nothing is ever the same; ergo, no outcome is a fact.Energy expelled is random, and chaos will exact…I’m not a mathematician, but I certainly can deducethat the unified Theory of Everything will forever be reclused.Chaos and complexity are perceived as ‘natural’ laws;the choice in Occam’s Razor; where the effect defines the cause.Science thrives on errors, and every truth unveils a grief.We follow the course of thought down our Rivers of Belief.A dogma molds humanity from the cutting edge of science:What fits into the mosaic of thought? Which theories have alliance?We accept the observable universe from a subjective point of view,but every paradigm is different, each has its shade and hue.What we perceive empirically – does it really exist at all?Reality orbits an atom, of a dream domain so small.

Wow, this is good and so

Wow, this is good and so true, isn't it? i like how you create philosophy of science. what is real? what is truth when the laws of science are really just formed by a series of mistakes? i really like this line: "foundational non sequiturs become the scapegoat of the Divine." this definitely screams creationism v. evolution to me or even more basically religion v. science. and isn't it true that so many people feel that science is trying to kill god. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. can science explain everything? not yet. can religion? not in my opinion. does spirituality count for anything? in my opinion, it makes like for worth living. but to each his own we are all connected, but see life so differently. and as the universe spins toward chaos so do the molecular structures of our body. par for the course. this is a really intelligent poem. I like the rhyme scheme. bravo, sha
