Think
"You say the hill's to steep to climb, climbing you say you'ld like to see me try, climbing you pick the place and I'll choose the time and I'll climb the hill in my own way just wait a while for the right day and as I rise above the tree-line and the clouds I look down, hearing the sounds of the things you've said today..." Pink Floyd

I Believe that:

 * Logic the best tool for evaluating beliefs
 * Science / the Scientific Method is the best way to understand the world around us
 * Theories in Science are self-correcting
 * There is a fundamental unity to Nature, where Physical Laws are obeyed and all things consist of the same interacting substances (matter and energy)
 * Change over time is an accurate explanation of the Universe
 * Post-emergent life evolved though natural selection by means of, genetic mutations and adaptations
 * Society, Culture, languages, and religious beliefs, do not remain static
 * Reality is relative
 * Nothing is black and white, all things exist in shades of gray
 * "Minimizing harm" and "Maximizing happiness" is a more applicable ethic than the "Golden Rule"
 * There is no Fate or "predestination," rather the Universe is the result of Randomness and Chaos, and complex systems emerge from simplicity
 * Preserving the environment is important
 * Human Rights, Pluralism, and Egalitarianism are fundamental in a Democracy
 * There is more to life and satisfaction than the acquisition of material goods
 * The highest form of "pleasure" is found in Love, Knowledge, Culture, Art, Music, Freedom and Creativity (Not necessarily in that order)
