A Wave of Reason - melodysheep.mp3

[00:10.31]Science is more than a body of knowledge
[00:15.08]It's a way of thinking
[00:17.75]A way of skeptically interrogating the universe
[00:20.65]If we are not able to ask skeptical questions
[00:25.27]To be skeptical of those in authority
[00:28.20]Then we're up for grabs
[00:30.42]In all of science we're looking for a balance
[00:33.55]between data and theory
[00:35.99]You don't have to delude yourself
[00:38.81]With Iron Age fairy tales
[00:41.16]The same spiritual fulfillment
[00:43.86]That people find in religion
[00:46.70]Can be found in science
[00:48.94]By coming to know, if you will, the mind of God
[00:51.79]The real world, as it actually is,
[00:54.26]Is not evil, it's remarkable
[00:56.71]And the way to understand the physical world
[00:59.17]is to use science
[01:01.76]There is a new wave of reason
[01:04.42]Sweeping across America, Britain, Europe, Australia
[01:08.76]South America, the Middle East and Africa
[01:11.55]There is a new wave of reason
[01:14.75]Where superstition had a firm hold
[01:18.03]Teach a man to reason
[01:19.95]And he'll think for a lifetime
[01:32.87]Cosmology brings us face to face with the deepest mysteries
[01:38.06]With questions that were once treated only
[01:40.61]in religion and myth
[01:42.99]The desire to be connected with the cosmos
[01:45.72]Reflects a profound reality
[01:48.64]But we are connected; not in the trivial ways
[01:50.94]That Astrology promises, but in the deepest ways
[01:53.56]I can't believe the special stories that have been made up
[01:58.83]About our relationship to the universe at large
[02:01.51]Look at what's out there; it isn't in proportion
[02:03.98]Science is more than a body of knowledge
[02:08.74]It's a way of thinking
[02:11.97]A way of skeptically interrogating the universe
[02:13.81]There is a new wave of reason
[02:16.38]Sweeping across America, Britain, Europe, Australia
[02:21.11]South America, the Middle East and Africa
[02:24.27]There is a new wave of reason
[02:26.83]Where superstition had a firm hold
[02:29.68]Teach a man to reason
[02:31.74]And he'll think for a lifetime
[02:45.43]Never let yourself be diverted
[02:47.70]By what you wish to believe
[02:50.59]But look only and surely
[02:53.01]At what are the facts
[02:55.54]Enjoy the fantasy, the fun, the stories
[02:58.02]But make sure that there's a clear sharp line
[03:00.51]Drawn on the floor
[03:03.14]To do otherwise is to embrace madness
[03:05.92]There is a new wave of reason
[03:08.72]Sweeping across America, Britain, Europe, Australia
[03:12.95]South America, the Middle East and Africa
[03:15.81]There is a new wave of reason
[03:18.25]Where superstition had a firm hold
[03:21.31]Teach a man to reason
[03:23.91]And he'll think for a lifetime
