Thoughts
1. What is the purpose of fact? Do we use it to be sure of things, or to prove worth? For example, we all know black is not white, but technically it is because both are shades of each other. What I am saying is that for every fact there are technicalities that disprove it. 1+1 does not always equal 2, but our brains recognize it as doing so because we work in decimal for everything now. 1+1 could, logically speaking, equal 10 in a binary program for a computer. It is the same for every sum, every statement, every fact. Just recently scientists have disproved Einstein’s theory of relativity, something we have believed for years. I ask you, what of the medical genius Galen? How many hundreds of years was he 'right' until somebody said he was wrong. The Ultimate Question of the purpose of life may never be solved, at least, not forever. There is no fact that proves science or religion, there is no proof that other methods don’t exist, we just think they don’t. I wonder, is there more to humanity than science and religion? Is there a bigger plan, a better solution, sitting right underneath our noses? Time will tell, these things have a way of coming to light, eventually…
