Since its beginnings in the seventeenth century, modern science has focused on the kind of “facts” that can be grasped by the senses and proven by measurement. It abandoned the religious explanations for the world, which posited an unseen God behind the universe; accepted only that which it could see and touch; and brought an acute analysis to the phenomena of the physical world. 1

Is all your life will ever be

But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone

’cause I’m Mr. Brightside
